I'd like to see if they have a "through the scope into the eye" animation like in Saving Private Ryan. I haven't been able to manage it.

I think that was in "Enemy at the Gates" as well IIRC, but Mythbuster's tried to re-create it and the bullet never went all the way through the scope. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/259723/sniper_war/

They also seem to model the loss of velocity based on what it passed through. When trying to line up multiple guys in one shot down a street, it seems best to avoid hitting the first guy in the helmet. Even passing though 2 bodies creates a lot of drop.

Notice the drop, the unluckly Germans not that far apart:

guy 1


guy 2


guy 3

Had quite a few 2 for 1's including one where it went through the first with a vital kill into the second man's shin and killed him lol biggrin

The shot is so rare among snipers that it has its own nickname, the 'Quigley' - after the 1990 western Quigley Down Under in which Tom Selleck's character manages the 'trick shot'.
