Meredith states the shot killing Captain Santiani came from a .308 sniper rifle firing at a distance of 70 yards and she reads from the report it was a long shot. A sniper shot at the range of 70 yards can hardly be called a long range shot for a sniper rifle. Basic recruits qualify on a rifle range at distances of 100 yards, 200 yards, and 300 yards using iron sights.
