In other words, if all things are equal the strike of the round will change by more than 8 inches horizontally (left to right or right to left) based upon nothing more than your position on the Earth's surface due to the Coriolis Effect in the example above.

This would perhaps make sense if Nugent was attempting a 1000 yard FG. So three questions:

Does that  Coriolus effect  the dumb grunt snipers have to be aware of have anything to do with mushrooms

Do you believe the FG was good because the earth rotated?

Does the direction you are facing have any impact on the Coriolis Effect?
