      I don't think we're as rare as the internet will have us to be, we're just very rare *on the internet*. It's also just very rare that religion is brought up in a context like this, where it's not about the religion itself, but rather the cool religious themes that unfold in a story. As such my religion was only relevant to bring up as a response.
      The largest mouths often belong to the narrowest minds, unfortunately.
      I apologize deeply for my brothers and sisters who are blinded by hate, I hope for all our sakes that that hate never manifests itself ouside of their words, and that even their words turn to love in the end.

    ***see edit at the end***These lone warriors in the Middle East are absolute fucking legends. We Had an Afghan soldier who was a Sgt. Who couldn’t climb higher because he could t read or write. He was the terror of the Taliban and other corrupt Afghan officials I clsuig police and other soldiers. He went to the Mushan Bazaar, found the 3 Afghan Policemen and beat the dog shit out of them, because they had beat an old man pretty badly. He drug those men back to our patrol base and was asking permission to execute them. Not sure what ever happened to them but I don’t think he got to kill them. He came with us on patrols and was as skilled, professional and dependable as any of our soldiers. I can’t remember his name for the life of me but I hope he’s still alive and fucking up those who prey on the innocent. ****Edit*** His name was Tahir (or something similar), and his nickname was Taz or Tazzy. He was in his early to mid 30’s over a decade ago. None of our guys seem to know anything else about him or if he is alive. We were never super close with the Afghans, but their Recce/Commando unit we worked with was pretty legit. They were a wild bunch of dudes who were not the typical ANA. Tahir was always working out, or cleaning his weapons, my guess is he was trained early on the war by US special forces and as a young man and he adopted their routines and way of life. That stuck with him and helped him be, in my opinion one of the baddest afghan soldiers ever.
    Anyone who’s never been there doesn’t get to see that Afghans don’t usually have a national identity. They are a tribal culture and they don’t see them selves as Afghani. They mostly identify with their tribes. So asking an Afghan to go fight for their country is like asking an American to go fight for The king. It’s an alien concept to most. We dealt mostly with the Pashtun people. This mentality may also be common In Other countries but as I was only in Afghanistan I can only speak to what I saw. I’m sure someone who knows more about middle eastern cultures could expand on this more. Thanks to everyone who was I retested in “Tahir’s” fate. If anything, It was an excuse to hit up some of my brothers I haven’t talked to in ages. I hope that if he is out there still he’s fucking up Taliban. If he’s dead, then I hope he died in combat and that he died well. I don’t think he would have ever surrendered, he’d have dropped his weapon and started throwing fists until they killed him. ****

    The large caliber bullet missing and still killing you is folklore. It's an aerodynamic projectile. In order for it to have that kind of effect, it'd have to be very much not aerodynamic. You're shooting a 1/2 to 7/10 inch bullet at someone, not a brick wall. Considering men during WW2 and more recent conflicts have had 75mm and larger munitions fly right past them without incident, a large caliber sniper rifle/anti material rifle will be the same.

    I've always had a special respect for snipers. One of the few stories about my great grandfather I know was during WWII. He was just under the age limit to be drafted and ended up in boot camp in Florida, among the oldest at camp. He grew up dirt poor in the country having to hunt his food to feed the family, and he was a absolute crack shot with a rifle because of it. The base where he went to training held a base-wide sniping competition, with something like 3 days leave as a prize, and my great grandfather beat everyone on the base.
    Sadly, he fell off a duece-and-a-half truck trying to help get it unstuck from mud, landed on his shoulder and shattered it. He never fully recovered and spent the rest of the war helping to train new recruits.

      It really depends how closely it misses. With a bullet about a half inch in diameter, it's displacing its cross-section of air. A miss closer than a quarter inch will still kill you, any more of a deviation and it'll become less lethal. Obviously you can't miss by a foot and still kill, but it also depends on where the target is. Like if you are shooting an AM rifle at a truck, you don't have to hit anyone, just penetrate the cab and the shrapnel generated inside it will take care of most of the occupants.
      Edit: I don't know what I'm talking about, see below for a better explanation. But I still think if you hit a vehicle's cab the internal shrapnel could do a lot of damage even if you don't hit an occupant directly.

      As a muslim I truly appreciate this comment..and by all means I also truly understand the fact that those admirations can sometimes feel a lil wrong considering the destructions and terror this “warriors” are bringing.
      We have this saying here , “the intention does not justify the means” . With that being said, I just wanna say that whatever act of terrorism you saw around you, be it through media or your own personal encounters, if by any means seems out of place, inhuman, too extreme, and not done for justice (self defence, defending own land from harasser, etc) those are in no way shape or form projecting true Islam. They may claim their intention is for this and that, but what they are doing is against the teaching of our Prophet PBUH, let alone done in the name of God Almighty.
      We Muslim are peaceful believers. We try our best not to cause anything that might cause others to feel uneasy with us. We are told to respect other people’s religion and believes, and to always be patient and try solving any issues peacefully.
      until we reach our limits where our belief are being taunted, our ladies are being abused, our land are being taken. Not until then will we only told to fight in the name of GOD, and wallahi, if Allah wants it to be, it will be.

You can dispatch a deer with a 357 at point blank and you might struggle to find an impact or exit depending on where on the the head it's shot and what bullet your using. With lots of visible damage I can 100% promise that deer was hit but since deer have small heads that are more bone and skin then water and mush there's not much room to dump energy and energy dumps best in mushy wet things so the big ol' bullet keeps trucking leaving a lot of damage but might almost look like the bullet wasn't there.
