For 2010, there are some pictures I found on a Chinese website. The Chinese got 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze as far as I can tell. http://news.powerapple.com/articles/54885.html No report on other countries though...

The top 10 places were occupied by only the best, The fact that the American/Aus didn't put up a team was a shame (I was one of the few English speakers there) hopefully 2010 will change this. There was a wide range of guns in use, but truly the "nut behind the butt" was the only real factor, I did feel sorry for the Chinese as they had come the furthest and got pummeled, nice guys though (when the political officer wasn't around). Oh Russia won, they were incredable and very much of the same cloth as Zeitsev. Please don't disregard this event as it is quite new and the Hungarians put on a great shoot for us, the UK has such restrictions on it that practice is hard to get (our olympic team has to practice in Switzerland), the USA is hard to get a rifle into for comps but we are working on it (ideas guys?)

The only thing I can see is if the extra height is needed to clear an obstacle. It seems to compromise the shooters grip somewhat, and certainly won't be as stable as a firm rest, but it's probably better than seated/kneeling.

I know its only a couple of pics but the one of the two guys "cuddling" doesn't make this look too realistic. On the top sniper show it had them going through some pretty realistic scenarios, such as shooting at moving targets in a crowd, dismounting from withing a armored vehicle and having to quickly orient themselves with multiple targets, a times stalk and shoot and even shooting at targets from a helicopter.
