Well said and done DRG, while sometimes from an historical view these threads on technical details are interesting. I wonder just how far some people would like the details to go. Maybe we'd like to take into account whether they've eaten for 24 hours, or whether vehicle crews are conserving fuel.
This game is excellent as is especially with all programmes to affect so many changes to so many aspects of the game.
Bravo Zulu to DRG and the Team.

I'd take the details as far as I possibly could. And I WILL.
And the fact remains that there WERE NO US Sinper rifles in the US inventory until the 1903A4 showed up. And the 1903A4 was ordered into production by Remington by Production Order S-1066 on 18 January 1943. Anyone who knows anything about manufacturing will know that the rifle didn't magically appear in rifleman's hands on 19 January 1943.
The first rifles completed were delivered in February 1943.
The US HAD NO sniper training program as some other countried (notably Germany) had.
There's a fascinating discussion of snipers at this location:

Haven't you ever heard of snipers in the Civil War? What makes you think the US Army would drop them inbetween that time?
