Status: offline 		I got a question for everyone here. Why do the American snipers have 10 in fire control? All the other nations snipers have 5. This is really strange don't you think? What makes an american a better shot than anyone else in the world??? Common, give Saving Private Ryan a rest!! ------------------ Bang, Bang, your dead!

Status: offline 		Just wondering, I saw a dokumentary film on snipers and they stated that Germany hadn't used snipers until '43 and even at that time in no relevant masses. They just hadn't enough optics. murx Ah, another thing sniper should be able to kill a tank-commander thu giving it buttoned status for the rest of the mission.

Status: offline 		murx: optics did tell enemy where you are, it is ten centimeter too hígh... My grand-pa were hunter/fisherman at Ladoga(Laatokka) before and during the war, when he wasn't in front. He sniped seals at the winter ice. 1500 meters to the head...Trick was to shoot so that bullet hitted ice once in the halfway. He used same selfmade longbarrel in winter war and continuing war, but never told me how many he killed with it or any kills he did in the war. He was officially radioman... When he died in 1984, doctor asked why he had 32 knifestabs at his body, dad said that he was in hell and came back... mosh

You can cover all lens surfaces except for vision slits on a scope or pair of binos and still see through them completely unobstructed. Also pantyhose streched over then lenses will do the same. This is even more important today as most lenses have an iridium type laser filter coating on them. I'm guessing many of these techniques were developed much earlier than my era of service.

Status: offline 		Yeah, but soldiers who aren't trained in *real* combat missions tend to get lazy and forget about such things. Like in the WWI there was the rare case that officers visited the troops in the front trenches. They were killed by snipers more often then the average soldier - cause they walked stupidly high headed through the trench. Another thing is smoking - as a soldier you should either give up smoking at least if enemies might be close. Or hold the cigarette in the hand thus dampening the cigarette glow. murx
