That's true. However, he said it could be a SNIPER rifle (sorry, if I could put it in italics, I would). I have my doubts that the 5.56x45 NATO would be effective at the kind of ranges most sniper rifles view as child's play. I could be wrong though. What kinds of ranges are most sniper rifles used at?
