[edit] Explanation

What is MOA? Thanks! Mark Richards 20:58, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hope that's clearer. Securiger 01:59, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Why is the US and Russian army squad designated marksman left out? If one would mention US Marines and IDF, it is only natural that other military organizations be included. Cheng-chuan, Chin

I edited the article to fix the grammar/spelling in the IDF section. Also tried to make things more NPOV by removing references to "terrorists", which is a loaded term.

isnt the LSW of the SA80 family of weapons now used in this way in the British army? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.153.252.37 (talk) 17:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] doctrine

"Soviet doctrine uses the Dragunov rifle in this way." The soviet union ceased to exist 15 years ago. Should it read "Soviet doctrine used the Dragunov rifle in this way." or "Russian doctrine uses the Dragunov rifle in this way."? Gurkha 20:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
