What was he wearing, and what was the PSG-1 loaded with (I take it we are
talking about the HK precision rifle)?
The reason I'm asking is because unless there is somehting very quite and
very new out in the past six months, very little body armour will take
7.62x51mm very well. And even then, cracked ribs are a real probability
and and a fast trip to the floor, unless youa re buried up to your hips in
sand or concrete, is virtually gaurenteed.
