The bullet travels at supersonic speed. You will not hear the "crack" before the bullet hits. Somebody beside you will just drop, then you will hear the crack. Actually, Marines in WWII were trained to listen for the "pop" of the sonic boom of the bullet, then look for the direction of the rifle report.
I love the timbre of this AI female voice. So much easier to listen to than the grating, growling, and irritating male voices. What a relief to have discovered this channel.
@gigibluestockings5168 And the Kurd lady snipers ...... they were DEADLY during the Iraq wars when they tried to overrun Kurdistan. And funny part is, under islamic law, if you're "ended" by a woman in combat, you don't get to go to paradise and claim your 72 virgin goats. The Iraqis were TERRIFIED of snipers because of this!

Speed drops off with distance so possible too hear if far enough . And you might also hear that crack before a victim showed the effect of impact
If you hear the crack? You’re still alive😂
At 1.8 miles you will hear the crack…at 3 miles you will hear the crack and 1 second later the victim will drop unless there is a barrier
Ahh - but do the norms of today's ballistics still apply in Sci-fi?
When the human colony starts speaking Finnish.....
Ahh, the cold never bothered them anyway. ;)
Or finishes speaking Starrts.

And as an American with Scottish roots, I find it's easier to listen to the Kiwi accent than my own American - unless it's Southern!
They thought their scouts died by incompetence without an enemy? That is a pretty shoddy army, tbh.
So the sniper let himself be seen or her self. Somebody knows nothing about snipers.
Only ONE sniper????
Yes. One unseen sniper can cripple and demoralize a battalion
That’s all it takes.
One Marie sniper stopped and held a NVA battalion down for 3 days in Vietnam. Some got away but I don't remember the rest.
Google "The White death" this is why you don't mess with the Finnish people.
In ww2 a german sniper staled the russian advance into Berlin for several days.
There is nothing more inappropriate for this story than this gentle female voice.
Check out the history of female snipers of WW2. Never underestimate females.
@gigibluestockings5168 How did you get from a stupid story to feminism and war?? are you crazy???
