[Royal]

Not to denigrate anyone, but most (if not all) of the brit shots are Company Sharpshooters, not snipers...

Just my HO, judged by dress, kit and disposition.

[Mortimer]

anyone got some shot of the m21?

[commander20]

i say the 50 cal is the best snipping guns ever baby it has a ton of power i would hate to be in front of that in a war :bash:

[He219]

anyone got some shot of the m21?

Isn't that an M21 in the last picture? Perhaps you are asking if anyone got shot with the M21?
:P

[Maniac]

i think scissors are best for snipping, while i would think the .50 cal would be best for sniping and such...u wierdo

[Tripod]

I must disagree with you about the .50 cal being the best sniper rifle. Its good at what it's ment for, yes, but it's not an anti personal weapon. It's bulky, heavy, hard to manuever, and would jsut suck to have to carry one of those around in 100+ degree weather. I would rather get shot by it than having to carry it around ;)

[Fargin]

Here's a bunch, most old, some new.

I've seen most of them, but I always welcome great pictures.

[hood]

well, this post is 4 months old. :)

[budanski]

well, this post is 4 months old. :)

Thats still no excuse. Slacker. ;)

[GLax]

i didnt see to many Army sniper pics till now, saw alot of Marines ones though

[Fargin]

well, this post is 4 months old. :)

LOL maybe it was here I saw them then. :oops:

[Barebow]

http://home.wanadoo.nl/barebow/barebow/images/m14_iraq.jpg

There are lots of M14 and M21 in use by the US forces in iraq the 101 Airborne division are using also the M14 next to the M16!
And there are many pict to find on the net i am collecting the pictures of the M14 or M21 stil in use or used in the past !
its a great rifle i am stil shooting it !

Barebow.

[Rush_die]

i like m14 too...most philippine army scout ranger snipers uses them...and its a reliable one...specially in our terrain..

[Pinky]

I think those are some cool pics but i think the L96-A1 is still the best.

rock on
and
Faugh a Ballagh

[ArmoredDov_D9]

Here's a bunch, most old, some new.

Let's see if I can identify some of this...

http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=72035640@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

It seems like AW Magnum.

http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=73041465@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

The higher looks like M42 or M40, the lower is Barret M82A1.

http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=72455323@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

Definately Barret.


http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=72615045@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

M24.

http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=73115147@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~1~2~0~0&dinst=0~0~0&picture=yes

Ita looks like a variation of SVD.


http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=72738677@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

Barret M82A1. Awsome firepower.

http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=72556381@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

M24.

http://graphics.alacritude.com/s/ewrap01/getdoc_api.cgi?querydocid=73228963@urn:bigchalk:US;Lib&dtype=1~1~0~0&dinst=0~0&picture=yes

http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/Gulf_War_2_Iraqi_Freedom_Army_Special_Forces/ussf3434.jpg

Looks like an M14. but since it was disbanded it probably M21.

[/quote]

Overall, great pictures. Snipers are very important in that kind of conflicts.

[USMarine3521]

i dont think british Marines use m24's, looks like an L96

[non-zero possibility]

1 pic one prob is a l96

2nd pic is a l96 and whatya know a l96

3rd pic idk maybe a... l96! not sure but it is not a 50 cal

4th pic barret

5th l96

6th, there ya go, svd or variation

7th, all of them m40a3's

8th, i dont thing thats a m40a3' it i gues is a a1 or a m24,

9th yeh m14'21

[[AFSOC]]

What sniper rifle does the British have in service?

[non-zero possibility]

l96,

[Royal]

What sniper rifle does the British have in service?

M82A1 (Barrett Light .50) (used by SF & EOD)
L96 A1 & A2 (basically the Accuracy International AW) (Standard sniper rifle)
L115A1 LRR (.338 Long Range Rifle, used by sharpshooters) (almost identical to the L96, except for the caliber).

Most of the L96's shown are probably L115's as most of the Brits shown are sharpshooters not snipers...

[jsniper]

The picture is not showing a L96. It is a M-14 or a D.M.R.. They are Navy or Airforce guys. The new juiced up M-14's are called Designated Marksmen Rifle's. You have to look at the equipment. Some one holding a L96 would not have a partner with a U.S. made m-4. And the Brits use what is called the Artic warior, or the just call it an A.I. after the company name. Acuracy International. It is in my experiance the best all around sniper rifle in the market. They come in 7.62, 338, 50. cal.

[Royal]

The AW is not the same as the L96. It is a for export version based on the original concept. There are a number of differences and (IMHO) it is a better sniper weapon.

[DP.UK]

The L96 is also made in .243Win for UK Law enforcement, using 100 gr Hi-Shok Lapua. Also used are 7.62 fully moderated L96's fitted with Kite4's or Sopelem's. Both are well equipped rifles.

Royal, you may be able to answer this one? why did so many teams (RM) opt for .50 cal Barratts rather than .338 AW's during Telic and Jacana?. I understand the demand for .50 cals was greater than the stores ability to acquire - locate them...

In a word, range...

But to expand a bit,

L115's are still coming on line, as with the Minimi they were being issued to units in theatre.

The M82 on the other hand has been on the inventory for years, there were quite a few sitting in Royal Engineer and Royal Navy (the Tupperware Navy have tried them for disrupting sea mines brought up by CD's and ROV's) stores

[Inferno]

alright i was wondering if any of u have a picture of a sniper in hiding.
but from a distance :|

[Inferno]

so im guessing no 1 has a picture of a sniper hiding? :(

alright thx.
but u dont by chance have the snipers in hiding?

[DPGLAW]

Scissors are the best for snipping.....LOL....I must say this site must have the greatest concentration of illeterate posters....there are so many posts I see on here with spelling mistakes that are like kindergarten level...kind of funny actually

[Smoothie104]

Thats because the majority of posters are under the age of 16 :cantbeli:

[Seoulstriker]

Thats because the majority of posters are under the age of 16 :cantbeli:

you mean over age of 20? :roll: :roll: :roll:

[cut]

DPGLAW the reason for the typos is because most posters type casually and don't treat it as an english exam.

Inferno I've seen some of snipers hiding but I can't remember where should be too hard to find though, if you do find some on military sights post them.

this is what I got from a quick google search
