    Default What Country?

    What country do you fellas think these guys are from. I have seen pictures of canadian snipers in tiger stripe, and it looks like a c8.

    If I had to guess....I would THINK those are US SEALs/ SF from Vietnam. They used Tiger Stripe pretty liberally and those guns look like CAR15s (the reason I hate the canadian guns...they're easily confused if you can't see the whole thing )

    They are more reliable than the CAR-15 which is much older.

    Looks like some guys posing for a picture to me. They stand out pretty easily in those reeds. Which isn't a good thing, esp. if they are really a sniper team as they'd have you believe.

    I never said the C8 was better than the M4, i said it is better than the CAR-15 which is older and less reliable.

    Tiger stripes are indeed still widely used by (mostly) Asian militaries.

    I think that photo came from a Swedish retailer, Militaryshop. Itīs from one of their old catalogs and I think itīs the owners themself posing.
