Comments by "COL BEAUSABRE" (@colbeausabre8842) on "Why Antitank Rifles Were Not Sniper Rifles" video.
Speaking as a veteran who did several tours in Germany, the usual field of fire in Western Europe is considerably less than 1500 meters, in many places, it's less than 800 meters. Maybe on the Eastern European Steppe and the Mideast, but not on the Western Front and Italy. Do you know how difficult it is to SEE a man sized target half a mile away? Look up "The Empty Battlefield" - a phenomenon first noted in the Kaiser War. So why carry all that extra poundage if you will never get to use it to its potential?
