100' hover at 100m!! Even the SAS wouldn't want to be that close, I could hit the target from there. I could just imagine us flying over Liverpool all 'tooled up' for a job. You can winch from a helicopter, you can abseil/fast rope or do all the things the military can do, but there is no reason to. An airborne sniper is just not needed, end of story. If we went into airspace that had any threat whatsoever, the CAA would take our licence away for endangering our passengers.
