I'm waiting for Grand Theft Auto IV, Drunk Over the Bridge With the
Secretary variant. Wonder what Teddie will say about that one.
Oswald saved the world from nuclear conflict, thank the gods he offed the sex & drug crazed toothy one as soon as he (et al :-) did.
And a hell of a shot as well. Gotta respect that, with a bolt-action, no less.
A piece-of-shit boltie. I don't believe the official story, myself.
Hitting at a upper-body sized target at less than 90 yards, using a scoped rifle, is about as difficult shooting fish in a barrel. The slow steady movement of the car makes it slightly more interesting, but hardly challenging to a decent marksman.
True nuff. I recently fired up M$ FS '98, and on my first attempt was able to Atta the WTC in a 747-300, whereas a more nimble plane was too responsive to my commands and stalled, spiralled, etc. And I could cycle my 7.52x54R bolt-action in under a second on my first try, but again, grace under pressure is cool.

...and here I bet you thought that Marine marksman rating, bordering on sharpshooter, whatever, would *never* come in handy... Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.
