[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2859287, member: 36999"] Military snipers don’t take headshots 100% of the time, especially not with the 50 as most aren’t capable of that level of precision since they are predominantly used for anti material roles. They take the best possible shot that will incapacitate the target during the time available for the shot. For them a head, chest, or hip shot does the job of taking the target out of the fight. Now SWAT and police might have stricter rules due to the possibility of collateral damage as a wounded suspect can still kill a hostage or other bystander. But they are also typically operating in closer environments. As for the 5/8” at 1000 yards, you are literally comparing a free recoiling bench rest rifle shooting at a static target on a known range after sighting shots to a cold bore shot at a unpredictable target off an improvised rest at a possibly unknown range.
