Is it official now? Because in the past it was just tolerated but not the official sniper badge.

[Red_Fern]

Can you say "friendly fire"?

[dwight]

Looks like KCT to me..

Based on? I dont see any thing to ID that pic.

I don't know. Might be, might not. Or do you think it could be the "Einzelkämpferabzeichen"?




Edit: When I zoom in on the badge I think it looks more like the sniper badge you posted than the "Einzelkämpferabzeichen".

hm a couple of my friends get them from an instructor at their last day at hammelburg so i think its official

[Muzungu]

just a silly question from me>

im very much impressed by the training and skill that goes into making of a sniper and not to forget the equipment he carries to match his skill.

are snipers allowed to compete in Olympic games, representing their countries?

I don't see why not, there have been lots of our armed forces personnel representing Britain in the past and I'm sure that will continue. The art of sniping and shooting in the Olympics have a lot of differences though.

I've heard of US armed forces personnel competing in the shooting events, but since it doesn't have a lot of TV coverage, I don't know much more about them.

In Beijing last year, 9 from the US armed forces competed in the shooting events.
