Kill By Inches

Israeli snipers say they have killed Palestinian children by accident, I was wondering if it is still possible, I shot rifles with a scope and never missed more than a few centimeters and I'm not qualified.

i cannot see how this ispossible since they are the masters of concealment and the large number of sniper rifles and modern accuracy I find this theory highly unlikely. I can not see any soldier shooting a child without good reason, they are human can not forget that some insurgents mix with civilans on purpose but it is unlikley to find

Well-trained snipers are not accidents.

Look for Ruby Ridge.

It can happen. The target moves, moves to someone in the trajectory of bullets, one thing surprised the sniper when he is on the trigger.

sniper rifles are fed extremely high. Assuming that the shooter was not directly aimed at children, once the ball has crossed the target person, the slug could ricochet or pass through the wall. Whether or ricochet - or someone was in the flight path of the bullet after leaving the target.

No, this is immpossible for a sniper trained (say 5 years of training) to kill an innocent child by accident!

sure it is many different things can cause a ball to deviate from the course or find a second person after reaching the main target.

Yes, you have a problem is.If hostage, you can kill the girl accidentally.

As the children run in front of the training experienced drivers, they can run in the path of a bullet.

More information is needed ...

How far? 100-500 yards? probably not an accident.

500-1000 meters? Maybe.

Does he have targets or innocent suddenly moving? Could increase the chances of an accident.

Is there wind? Relatively constant or gusting? A 10 mph crosswind will a ball of 7.62 mm NATO adrift 70 "from the point of view at 1000 meters.

A trained marksman should take these factors into account and do not make such a mistake, but in the end, a sniper who is human and can completely misread or miss factors that may cause unintended consequences .

I could not think of a few scenarios - What if the child was behind the target and the firing of weapons across the target? It would be accidental.

I am sure that anything can happen in a fluid environment, such as the creation of a sniper kill. It's not like the target is stationary so that the sniper can get a good shot off. Things can go wrong in the best circumstances. Mistakes can be made, etc. I was not there so I can not judge whether it was an accident or not.

yes

Accidentts happen.
Big deal you fired rifles with scopes before and have never missed more than a few centimeters. What were you shooting at targets?
But have you ever fired your weapon in the fight. It is a stressful situation and with the fog of war errors occur

Thus, your balls stop at the target? they do not puncture and press anything behind the target.

"I fired guns with a scope and have never missed more than a few inches" said !!!!! Now you are an expert.

Bullets go straight people, and its quite possible for a sniper round to knock over a person.But I think you have an anti-Israel diatribe here.

Yes it can happen that a child can stand behind the person that trained sniper would shoot.

no

BALLS sometimes pass through their possible until SOMEONE TARGETS.ITS RANGE might catch a stray, or do so through a wall in another room.
