Got a question. Since (for example) in the USMC there are Scout/Snipers, one Marine is a spotter, the other one is the shooter (bouth are trained scout/snipers). But is it that they decide that "ok this time you are the one with the M40 and I'm the guy with the scope". How does it work ?
Is it that the senior guy thakes the M16 and the "new guy" is the shooter ?
Afaik they change roles every hour, because you get tired of looking through the scope every now and then.
These pics, where are they taken? Sarajevo maybe?
I the movie "Jarhead" the sgt. chose who is the spotter who is the shooter. So its different in real life I see.
Yeah.. Eye fatigue is a horrible thing.
Please, tell me more
I thought he was firing two rounds too fast for a bolt, then i realized hes wearing a hair clip?
M-24 SWS and ? a new rifle ?
Lithuanian snipers
o ya feels like your eye is gonna get sucked threw the end of the scope. I use to get killer head aches if i looked to long.
True, but the spotter will be senoir and is responsible for giving the correct "dope" and calling the shot. You can be the best shot in the world but if you don't have the correct dope you are not going to hit a damn thing.
WHen you get a rifle issued to you, the scope needs to be tuned to your specific eye. Parallax is very important.Please, tell me more
Anyway, when you look through any optics that have a magnification, it works your eyes. So after a while eye fatigue sets in and with it comes headaches, dryness of the eye, eye aches, and whatnot, so you have to switch off with the spotter all the time.
In a sniper team, each sniper must know the others rifle. If you are resting and your spotter see's a shot, he has to know his own dope on the weapon.
It is very important for both the sniper and the spotter on the team to be trained equally on both the Long gun and the spotting scope.
Hope this clears it up...
Some pictures I still have from France:
And throw in a silenced sidearm (guess a sniper could carry it)

The hairclip is used to hold his Jewish prayer headgear thingy to his hair... Looks very practical.
