        They fuck up what you’re aiming at. In this case, mostly children.

        Sorry if that was unclear.

          Except that’s literally not how the damage profile of such a round functions. Limbs disappear - soldiers die. Children would be slaughtered. This clearly did not happen.

              I know, in general, how sniper rifles work, and it is explicitly mentioned in the article it was sniper fire.

                You think a .338 round can make “limbs disappear”, buddy. Everything you learned about sniper rifles came from Call of Duty.

                  Idk if you’ve ever seen a child but yes a bullet of any sort will really fuck them up, and yes a rifle shot will blow a child’s arm off.

                  Fun fact: i’ve literally never played Call of Duty outside of the first one, set in WW2

                    So now the snipers are aiming at the children again? Pick a narrative and stick to it, buddy, I’m getting whiplash here
