http://img223.exs.cx/img223/6455/untitled2wl.png AR RAMADI, Iraq(Jan. 02, 2005) -- Seen through a twenty-power spot scope, terrorists scrambled to deliver another mortar round into the tube. Across the Euphrates River from a concealed rooftop, the Marine sniper breathed gently and then squeezed a few pounds of pressure to the delicate trigger of the M40A3 sniper rifle in his grasp. The rifle's crack froze the booming Fallujah battle like a photograph. As he moved the bolt back to load another round of 7.62mm ammunition, the sniper's spotter confirmed the terrorist went down from the shot mere seconds before the next crack of the rifle dropped another. It wasn't the sniper's first kill in Iraq, but it was one for the history books. On Nov. 11, 2004, while coalition forces fought to wrest control of Fallujah from a terrorist insurgency, Marine scout snipers with Company B, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, applied their basic infantry skills and took them to a higher level. "From the information we have, our chief scout sniper has the longest confirmed kill in Iraq so far," said Capt. Shayne McGinty, weapons platoon commander for "Bravo" Co. "In Fallujah there were some bad guys firing mortars at us and he took them out from more than 1,000 yards." During the battle for the war-torn city, 1/23 Marine scout snipers demonstrated with patience, fearless initiative and wits that well-trained Marines could be some of the deadliest weapons in the world. "You really don't have a threat here until it presents itself," said Sgt. Herbert B. Hancock, chief scout sniper, 1/23, and a 35-year-old police officer from Bryan, Texas, whose specialized training and skill helped save the lives of his fellow Marines during the battle. "In Fallujah we really didn't have that problem because it seemed like everybody was shooting at us. If they fired at us we just dropped them." Stepping off on day one of the offensive from the northern edge of the Fallujah peninsula, the Marine reservists of 1/23, with their scout snipers, moved to secure a little island, but intense enemy fire near the bridgeheads limited their advance. Insurgents littered the city, filtering in behind their positions with indirect mortar and sniper fire. "The insurgents started figuring out what was going on and started hitting us from behind, hitting our supply lines," said Hancock in his syrupy Texas drawl. "Originally we set up near a bridge and the next day we got a call on our radio that our company command post was receiving sniper fire. We worked our way back down the peninsula trying to find the sniper, but on the way down we encountered machinegun fire and what sounded like grenade launchers or mortars from across the river." With a fire team of grunts pinned down nearby, Hancock and his spotter, Cpl. Geoffrey L. Flowers, a May 2004 graduate of Scout Sniper School, helped them out by locating the source of the enemy fire. "After locating the gun position we called in indirect fire to immediate suppress that position and reduced it enough so we could also punch forward and get into a house," explained Hancock. "We got in the house and started to observe the area from which the insurgents were firing at us. They hit us good for about twenty minutes and were really hammering us. Our indirect fire (landed on) them and must have been effective because they didn't shoot anymore after that." Continuing south down the peninsula to link up with the Bravo Co. command post, Hancock and Flowers next set up on a big building, taking a couple shots across the river at some suspected enemy spotters in vehicles. "The insurgents in the vehicles were spotting for the mortar rounds coming from across the river so we were trying to locate their positions to reduce them as well as engage the vehicles," said Hancock. "There were certain vehicles in areas where the mortars would hit. They would show up and then stop and then the mortars would start hitting us and then the vehicles would leave so we figured out that they were spotters. We took out seven of those guys in one day." Later, back at the company command post, enemy mortar rounds once again began to impact. "There were several incoming rockets and mortars to our compound that day and there was no way the enemy could have seen it directly, so they probably had some spotters out there," said 22-year-old Flowers who is a college student from Pearland, Texas. " Our (company commander) told us to go find where the mortars were coming from and take them out so we went back out," remembered Hancock. "We moved south some more and linked up with the rear elements of our first platoon. Then we got up on a building and scanned across the river. We looked out of the spot scope and saw about three to five insurgents manning a 120mm mortar tube. We got the coordinates for their position and set up a fire mission. We decided that when the rounds came in that I would engage them with the sniper rifle. We got the splash and there were two standing up looking right at us. One had a black (outfit) on. I shot and he dropped. Right in front of him another got up on his knees looking to try and find out where we were so I dropped him too. After that our mortars just hammered the position, so we moved around in on them." The subsequent fire for effect landed right on the insurgent mortar position. "We adjusted right about fifty yards where there were two other insurgents in a small house on the other side of the position," said Flowers. "There was some brush between them and the next nearest building about 400 yards south of where they were at and we were about 1,000 yards from them so I guess they thought we could not spot them. Some grunts were nearby with binoculars but they could not see them, plus they are not trained in detailed observation the way we are. We know what to look for such as target indicators and things that are not easy to see." Hancock and Flowers then scanned several areas that they expected fire from, but the enemy mortars had silenced. "After we had called in indirect fire and after all the adjustments from our mortars, I got the final 8-digit grid coordinates for the enemy mortar position, looked at our own position using GPS and figured out the distance to the targets we dropped to be 1,050 yards," said Flowers with a grin. "This time we were killing terrorism from more than 1,000 yards."

wow, that actually looks really good, besides the vertical grip

Guns Galore in Fenton is great, cant beat a 1 year lay away

not sure why you would have a negative comment, my posts are all more in line with yours about america honoring all peoples, i was just commenting on what i see and hear all over, if your muslim your probably a terrorist. its dangerous to label a group of people on the conduct of a few, we all pray and hope that all white gun owners are not labeld crazy just because a few go ape shit and kill a few people and if you like spr, buy the 60th anniversery dday edition, lots of extras that you will like

no i am serious, i am not saying that iran is a us friendly country, but they were the only country that showed any kind of sadness for what happend, while our "allies" the saudis were dancing in the streets http://www.bestirantravel.com/culture/wtc-vigil.html

the burbs wasnt that bad http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif

well you have to understand that this is america and everyone has equal rights. you say that enough americans have been killed by muslims to justify a boycott, but you have to understand that not all muslims hate us so much. Iran for all its faults is the most pro american country in the middle east, they were the only ones to have a candle light prayer service after sept 11. you say your not racial profiling yet you feel that you can hate all of a certain religion, just because a few are bad people. besides we are white male gun owners, what we say dont matter

i agree that they do, but i think boycotting a certain stamp is going a little to far, i mean shit its just the mail

uh, yeah, not "all" muslims are terrorists, i hate terrorists as much as the next guy but i dont think we need to do any racial profiling here

sign me up, I have been looking for the 1st for months with no suc

well from what I heard on FOX News both the democrats and the republicans have already hired lawyers to contest the election results, whatever they may be. I just hope that we will know who won buy tommorow morning and not have to wait weeks

once i got my age issue cleared up I had no problem voting, it just scares me a little that the people running the election do not understand simple math.
