      Old school technique. Also used for checking plumb (hang a plumb bob/weighted string on the wall and project the light through, the shadow from the reticle should align with the plumb bob).

    Basically a SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) can be any rifle that fits the environment or the needs of that environment whether urban, rural, jungle, desert, forest, or whatever
