This concurs with the pre-M16A2 maximum effective range of 460 m (503 yd). [112] The Colt 3×20 telescopic sight was factory adjusted to be parallax-free at 200 yd (183 m).

This maximum range is only of safety interest, not for combat firing. [14] The M16 rifle is "accurate beyond description". [171] Its light recoil, high velocity, and flat trajectory allow shooters to take headshots out to 300 meters.

According to the U.S. Navy, this ammunition should increase the maximum effective range of .300 Winchester Magnum sniper rifle systems to 1,370 m (1,500 yd), decrease wind deflection on bullets in flight and use a reduced muzzle flash propellant that remains temperature stable across an operational temperature range of −32 to 74 °C (−26 to ...
The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987. [3] [4] An example was tested on the Stoner 93 in the early 1990s by the Royal Thai Armed Forces. [5]In 1995, United States Special Operations Command selected the 4×32 TA01 as the official scope for the M4 carbine and purchased 12,000 units from Trijicon. [6]
The M110A2 is an improved version of the original M110 rifle with M-LOK rails, an improved gas system, new suppressor, and adjustable stock. [2] This fills the gap of semi-automatic sniper rifles as most all of the M110A1 rifles issued were the SDMR variant and not designed for sniper work. [ 16 ]
The rifles are designated as Accuracy, antipersoneel scherpschuttersgeweer.338 (Accuracy anti personnel sniper rifle .338) and the Military of the Netherlands claim a maximum effective range of 1,100 m (1,203 yd) for their AWM-F rifles and have used these rifles in Afghanistan with great success.
