Damn, I should watch my jokes a bit better, and that one showed poor taste in my part. I'm an avid sport shooter myself, focusing on the technical side and sporting performance of firearms and tend to forget how other people might view things. The link to snipershide.com was to show how the data is applied and how it is collected, radar measurement of a projectile's trajectory reference for maximum accuracy, etc.

Now, actual "sniper" use of this kind of an application, even agains't some people claiming other wise for their similar offeringsm would be a poor idea. Any fielded military personnel have other procedures for ranging, calculation and etc, which differ from sporting ones.

I apologize if I have offended anyone, especially with the snipershide.com linkage and that the application would be meant for sport shooting.

I was as usual just focuzing on the facts, means and results interesting me and was blind to any other undertones or uses one might see in the application, it's uses or the general military/idiotic chatter on snipershide.com. On the educational side, I would disagree, but this isn't the correct forum or thread to discuss about it.

Again, I'm very sorry if this idea for an app has offended anyone.
