    I thought it was a photoshop at first. Had to look again, and then why would anyone do that?

    An attempt to compensate for really, really bad marksmanship? Use a monster scope to make it look bigger hoping it makes it easier to hit?

    Re the first picture: that's the latest version of the FN-FAL anti-aircraft mount.

    No, I meant why would anyone do a photoshop on a pic of an FN? In reality the scope is an attempt to make a top grade, ultra long range, street fighting sniper rifle I should think...with a 30 rd mag no less...
