7km lonrange gun with a Harris bipod????

"A new type of powder-charge ammunition is being developed for the DXL-5, which will enable the bullet to fly at five or more times the speed of sound (greater than 1,500 m/s). ?????

What dose that mean??

Think that means it’ll give your shoulder a wee nudge

How would you even identify a deserving target at 7km and that it was not an innocent local ? I once left the wife on a ridge guarding the gps set up on a standard survey mark, when I looked for her from my ridge 5km away she was a speck and indiscernable through the 32x instrument even though it was a cool, clear and calm day.

I did think at the time it would be a stretch for the Cooper :wink:

That is sort of what I was thinking. I suspect you would need to be a 6.5 Creeedmoor shooter to identify people from that far away.
