Snipers go to great lengths to conceal their position, a large amount of their training is dedicated to this.
In the case being discussed, it looks as tho both sides failed to do so.
Who spotted who first, how long did the first to be spotted take to spot the source of the incomming.

Sorry. Unless the other shooter was (I'll be nice. 100yds or less) The bullet will not be traveling flat enough to go straight through a scope. It is a "Bullshit story".

It's not bullshit. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.

I don't think he's saying that you couldn't hit the scope, I think he's saying that the fall of the bullet would not allow it to exit out the other end cleanly.

Everything can be said with Star Wars quotes lol.

I dont think either sniper failed, myabe its a mix of words...there are sharp shooters and snipers.

a Sniper's objective is not the same as sharpshooters. in this case, the enemy sniper was more of a sharpshooter. he wasnt aiming at anyone in particular. just wnated to take out the bad guys (us, in their eyes).

A snipers objective is usually high priority targets, and intelligence gathering. Could you use them as sharpshooters? sure, but why? You put to much training into them to just pick of targets. Everyone (knock knock Marine Corps) should be trained as a shooter first. Which is why a Sniper's skill should be utlize properly, aka their ability to get in deep, and observe without being detected.
