Modern history is ripe with stories of civilian riflemen giving conventional forces quite the headache.

In Vietnam the M38/M44 Mosin Nagant Rifle (I own the M44 model) despite being a "carbine" can hit human size targets at 400 meters if you know what you are doing. The US grunt armed with the M16 came to rather dislike the distinctive "BBBOOOMM" the little M38/M44 made.

In Afghanistan locals armed with WWI Lee-Enfield and Mauser rifles would engage Soviet troops at 600 to 800 meters. Well out of range of the Soviet Paratrooper's AK-74.

Iraq is proving to be the same. Snipers armed with Scoped AK-47s and SKSs are killing US troops at ranges well beyond detection.

Then there is the vehicle factor. A heavy rifle round can break all sorts of things on a modern tank. Visor blocks, laser designators, sights, External weapons, ect. And that is if it's "buttoned up." A trained marksmen can make a tank crew's life hell each time they try to open a hatch.
