Here's some high angle shootin' for ya:
 There's some OBR Porn in there  Article Course Breakdown The four-day course begins by ensuring that both the weapons and shooters are capable of delivering precision shots at any range. The students also visit local venues to learn what to look for and seek out when establishing an FFP. The class quickly realizes the complexity and difficulty in operating in large arenas like Cowboys Stadium and why physical fitness for a sniper is essential. Classroom time is provided to teach the theory, equipment and practical applications of delivering accurate, high-angle fire. Discuss. |

Cool I was taking pictures of a couple at one of the Penn State Games I was at but I had a point and shoot camera so there were just pixels
ETA: I see a OBR around 37 seconds into the second video

Looks like a huge waste of time and resources. I disagree. LEOs should at the very least brainstorm for as many possible scenarios as possible in the locations they operate. It would be irresponsible to NOT prepare for this scenario. It would be stupid in a place like my home, Reno, NV, where we have no mega-stadiums. |

Look at the chart, the distance changes depending on the angle of the shot. At 50 yards with a 50 degree angle, the distance is 32. |

I watched the first vid. I am all for training and general brainstorming as to "what would we do if X happened" but I think they were showing off for the camera
Landing in the parking lot with a helio? When any event is going on is there any space to do that? Looks to me like the SWAT guys wanted to play with the copter more than any kind of training Rideing on the running board of the SWAT van? Seems like a good way to be cut off at the knees by a cab in NYC or any other big city Training=good Doing silly stuff to look hot for the camera guy =stupid waste of time that could get folks killed when the chips are down |

math... http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=175018 take your yardage and find your angle of elevation and then multiple THAT by the cosine. So 654yds is, for instance, a 15.25 MOA adjustment, 94% of 15.25 would be a 14.5MOA adjustment. 614yds would have given you more like a 13.5MOA adjustment. also http://www.exteriorballistics.com/ebexplained/article1.html |

Lots of moving parts in a stadium and a lot of places where you could sneak it in. Done it before - last year in fact (was a CCW friend in our group, actually). They had pat-downs, so all you have to do is relocate your carry piece to appendix or groin carry to get in the gate. Not looking like a thug helps quite a bit. It was a long walk back to the car in a bad neighborhood, so personal protection trumps silly laws IMHO. Had they had a check box or somewhere to lock it up, we would have done that... But it still doesn't take away the logistics of finding and taking down a shooter / terrorist in a stadium of 80,000 screaming, running, erratically moving people with children. What's the range these guys would typically shoot at? 250-350+ yards from their perch? What's the accuracy of their rifles and ammo, 3/4 MOA realistically? So even if the shooter is perfect, you still have an error of 2-3 inches on a moving target at a steep angle with wind 300 yards away while trying to take a shoulder/head shot? I hope there are no hostages.
