I think it was only 22,00 rounds per kill. Let me go check my Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War..back in one. I couldn't find it in there. I think it was around 22,000. Let me go check some more books.
Ok you were nearly right! According to Michael Lee Manning's "Inside the Crosshairs, Snipers in Vietnam", there were 25,000 rounds expended per kill in WWII. In Korea is was 50,000 rounds per kill. Vietnam had a 200,000 rounds per kill ratio!
Army and Marine sniper ratio for kills in Vietnam. 1.3 to 1.7 rounds per kill. I hope you all appreciate this research, I spend about 30 minutes on it! I just had to remember.
