Palestinian Sharpshooting
Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs, under the rubric Palestinian Civil War Watch, links to this story on Yahoo News about a drive-by shooting at the Palestinian interior ministry offices in Gaza City, which missed everyone. Money quote:
"Bodyguards responded to the fire," Hosa added, but said the vehicle and its occupants managed to escape unharmed.
What the heck, bodyguards? You've got full-auto Kalashnikovs, with a cyclical rate of 6 rounds per second and good up to at least 300 meters, and you can't hit a car?
And drive-by guys, here's a little hint--you have to aim a little behind them to make up for the movement of the car.
No wonder the Israelis kick ass, up against this sort of marksmanship. Is anyone over there even practicing (and shooting up in the air doesn't count)?
