Eye in the Sky

Turns out there were snipers keeping watch during the Super Bowl. Better still, this has apparently been SOP since the Munich massacre in '72. So, if there've been professional snipers at most large public events for thirty years and nobody's ever actually been sniped, I can't see the harm. Besides, that's a nifty bit of hardware he's got right there.

This looks to be the U.S. Army's new M24-E1 .300 WinMag rifle or the Remington Modular Sniper System in the same caliber. These things shoot like a laser out to 500 yards and will dump what ever they hit. Snipers of the world are busy upgunning to 300-338 rounds. You can tell this is a professional snipers position.

As long as they work for my side, I'm fine with it!
