Dude, I don't know how that could be possible with an unscoped rifle at 800 yards...if you have 20/20 vision you cannot see past 500 yeards, much less 800.[/quote:86b5e]

I would have to agree with you there. Not to mention all he had to do was raise his rifle and close his eyes... he'd be bound to hit a target since most of the Russians came in human waves.

Back in the day (before most of your time) I created the "3rd ID" for MOH:AA and I was the commander, so I chose "Captain" for my rank and "Zapotoski" is my last name so it came to be: Cpt. Zapotoski.

Can't really remember how i came up with mine.....but it's been with me now for 6 years straight.

I think i needed something that sounded original yet kind of cool and since i was 15 six years ago then that pretty much sounded very cool. It sounds really neat transtlated into swedish as well......Blodfödd

got mine maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Back during the wars of Delta Force 2. I was a sniper and I would hit people from half way across the map while they were moving. I was rarely spotted b/c I was always so far from the action SO I was an Unknown Sniper. THat name carried over to mohaa, SH, BF1942, and AA.

You are the original SPR b00n! angel:


.....I've explained how I came up with my name so many times I've actually forgotten, so I'll just make up a story:

I thought it up when I was in Nam' back in 69'. I served with the NZSAS, we would set Booby-Traps using Trip wires, and I used to have a clumsy habit of setting them off. After I lost my second leg, the name just kind of stuck.
