    The majority of the injured were children and two are in critical condition as a result of sniper fire targeting the hospital, a Red Crescent statement said.

    So they got injured running from sniper fire? Did the sniper pull off some James Bond shit and shoot a dangling object to fall on them?

            They fuck up what you’re aiming at. In this case, mostly children.

            Sorry if that was unclear.

              Except that’s literally not how the damage profile of such a round functions. Limbs disappear - soldiers die. Children would be slaughtered. This clearly did not happen.

                  I know, in general, how sniper rifles work, and it is explicitly mentioned in the article it was sniper fire.

                    You think a .338 round can make “limbs disappear”, buddy. Everything you learned about sniper rifles came from Call of Duty.
