Snipers

I would say he is using his boonie backwards, so when he´s looking through the scope it´s concealed.

Why?????????????????

If you have to ask, you're totally not cool.

X2 Buuuut Whhhhyyyyyyyyyyy?

That's a shit load of scrim on the front of his head and shoulders, I'm not surprised he's rolled it up to see the target.

Is this a Bisley type competition?.... If yes why the Ghillie? I mean even the best of us will look like an unusual lump of foliage on a Fire point. The whole point of this dress up is what...they get a style and wary points plus a phone in vote to find the winner.

Yeah, Thats at about 5m from muzzle. His depth started 30m forward of his firing point onto the observers 300m away. This position was confirmed by live engagement of a target at the observers end. This was taken after the shot and the told sniper to remove his ghille to demonstrate depth etc. The walker placed his hand on the barrel to indicate for the observers but they couldn't see from his shoulder down.

I like pics like these that demonstrate skill as opposed to some dude in a ghille standing in front of a tree. I hate seeing some so called "Snipers" ghilled up breaking all the principles of concealment and wearing impractical kit

Pics of skilled snipers hiding though would be rather pointless, just an empty field

Especially Mossad Snipers as they go through Ninja school before selection look -



This is the FIBUA sniper camouflage test house...spot the Mossad Sniper.

I gave up trying to be cool years ago. I haven't got the hair for it

lol yeah mate, You know what I mean.
Then again any pics would just be imitated by the Airsofters/Wannabes out there, and probley used to make yet another "How to be a SNIPER" clip on youtube.
We got asked to supply some pics of us in the field for Army PR purposes. They didnt think it funny when we sent them a random panoramic shot of our training area

Myself, somehow the horse found the natural vegetation I was adding rather interesting

HK417 did not pass German Army DMR tests
The German Army, like the rest of NATO is seems, is looking for a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR). Once selected it will be given the designation G27. REMOV wrote on MP.net that the HK417 will not be the G27 as was rumored ...

The HK417 will not be the G27, because the German rifle did not passed the Bundeswehr field tests. The information was told during the Infantry Symposium in Unterluess by Infantry School representative lt. col. Detlef Rausch. The HK417 failed at the accuracy tests. So now, most probably will be the open contest for new DMR for Bundeswehr, which means SIG Sauer SAPR as well as Oberland Arms rifles plus... civilian model of the HK417 - MR308 will take a part.

Any information on why it didn't pass tests? They always seemed to be pretty reliable/effective from all the tests/propaganda HK spewed out about them.

If it isn't good enough for the Bundeswehr, who is it good enough for...

yeah mate we deployed with 417s as part of our zone mix.....to say that the 417 is inaccurate is to say your shooters are twank IMHO. I got great groups at 800m with a zeroed 417. Has a b*stard of a kick but that's expected....German softies used to the kinder 36, I am sure.

doesn't that mean they will test the same gun all over again?
