There was a Australian Reporter sent to Afgan who spent time with an American team , She spoke about the sniper rifle they had and that even when te round hit close to the target, it would still do major damage.

OzHunter Mate!

Tracey Curio repeated what she was told, that "even a miss by 5 feet passing by would kill the man by shockwave."

Or something like that.

They were seeing what the media twit would believe and report to the world.

Similar to what the media were told in the Vietnam War, that the 5.56 was more powerful than a 7.62 and if hit in the arm the round would tear your arm clean off at the shoulder.

We had a thread discussion on Tracey's comments here in the past.
