I would be really surprised if SS had orders other than shoot to kill. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:39 8
- SS also have to account for possible body armor of potential attackers - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:41
- I'm thinking there more of the "hiding behind the hostage" situation where the center body mass isn't available. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:41 6
  - I don't think sharpshooters are SS. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:41 5
    - yes, SS has snipers stationed, usually to beat the competition to the best spots, remember west wing with CJ discussing the "JAR" rifles the SS use - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:59 1
      - cool, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 11:01
    - We are nowhere near the point here. The point is, unless you're specially trained to do so, you always aim for the body. Anything else is a good way to end up dead. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:43 1
      - totally agreed, I was just going off on a tangent. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:44
    - I'm sure some SS folks have been sharpshooters in the past, though. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:42
