The targets are both organic and moving none the less.

82nd:

NDD said that 75m is the AVERAGE distance, which means often the engagements are closer. (I've heard/read/imagined that the average distance is even less than 75m). I think Brian is going to tell us that many times he's really pulling perimeter security at rather close distances where he needs the wide FOV of a 1x scope. Other times he's further away and needs to the magnification. Your suggestion of a fixed power ACOG doesn't fit the bill.

Brian:

I heard you a few weeks back on the Matt Burkett podcast talking about Adopt a Sniper. For those that don't know, if I remember correctly Brian and his colleagues have sent more than a $1 million in donated gear to folks in the military overseas.
