Tsolias not making any promises but would you be interested in being a mod someday. You pretty much have to be here at least once a day. If your not interested that cool. Its not an easy job. just seeing what you think

Thanks- I would be very interested.

Of course, easy one! Your turn to post a quiz. :smiley:

By the way, thank you Gen. Sandworm! I take that as a great compliment! :smiley: And I think if we must lay off inactive mods, Tsolias would be an excellent replacement. :slight_smile:

Why thank you :smiley: I think you would make a great mod. But back on topic, The current record for longest range sniper kill is 2,430 metres (7,972 ft), reportedly accomplished by a Canadian sniper in 2002, during the invasion of Afghanistan, using a .50 BMG McMillan bolt-action rifle. This meant that the round had a flight time of four seconds, and a drop of 44.5 m (146 ft). The previous record was held by Carlos Hathcock, achieved during the Vietnam War, at a distance of 2,250 m.

He was into Pentathlon and got the 5th place in that games.
