Thread: NZ Defence Force to buy 82 new high-tech rifles for $4 million

So ,I have a question.
Did the nz army not made a choice already last year on a new sniper rifle system ? Was is not the new Sako that was chosen?? I thought?.

I will REPEAT !!!

I would be more worried about where/who the gear is to be used for/on.
A lot of unnecessary Wars on our Planet.
Heard of Donbass (East Ukraine) a lot of Sniper activity there - by local AND NATO mercenaries.

Not all - as we are lead to believe via Media are "enemy or bad" people.
They are more collateral damage to a hidden agenda for hegemony advance/gain.

PS
I am VERY slightly pissed with the last 60 mins News
NZ$ tanked - imports UP
Good luck - God Bless

Shooting makes up only about 10% of the role.

So why do you find it unbelievable that a 'civie' could outshoot a sniper?

Never underestimate a group of civilians doing what they have a passion for, and you can hardly form that opinion having not met the civilians that are being talked about, however Brads can as he's viewed extensively qualified/trained snipers in the same place and conditions as the civilians being spoken about.

Note: I know bugger all on the subject.

FFS! Talk about puttting words into people mouths.

I am out.

You legends should all be recruited by our Army coz your all such awesome fucking shots, way better than anyone in the military because someone says they seen a few shoot once. Awesome sample size there. A few days or a week tops?

Amazing that they were allowed in somebody's paddock with issue weapons.



Forgive me, I spent nearly 20 years in the job and thought it nieve to make the claim that all snipers would be schooled by a bunch of dabblers in a paddock.

A lot of our badged guys have competed internationally against the best equipped armies in the world and have won shitloads of accolades and medals.

How many lead singers at Tobys shoot have international medals? None?
But would if they could eh?

I don't . I simply said I didn't believe they wouldnt get schooled.

Again read and absorb what you want.
Marksmanship is 10% of the role but did I say they were not good at it.
To be fair it was the most practiced but least important skill.
But you guys know everything about both sides so I will leave yas to it.

@R93 think you have spent to long over seas and think you may have forgotten that kiwis are the most self righteous opinionated folks on the planet hahaha its sad but true
as a result you will get a bunch of ramblings from madmen on occasion who may or may not know any better
for instance @Rushy believes Waikato is mothers milk, the nectar of gods. he is nutts

Only a couple of peoples abilities at shooting gongs in a casual environment were mentioned. You screwed the rest of the story around all by yourself.

Anyway - you target Gurus

This Tread is about a weapon that is used solely for killing us – yes people!!
Now - you can all fool yourselves that it only wipes out EVIL – but truth is - it kills more innocents than adversaries.

Understand!!

I agree, I miss it

My main references for this sort of thing are Rambo and Die Hard films...so as far as I'm concerned its always well righteous.😎

Perhaps you can add more to conversations on the Green Peace facebook page rather than here, if that's how you feel? The thread is under the "Firearms, optics, and accessories" tab, we are discussing the Army's new purchases here.
I think it says a lot that they've obviously had a healthy budget for these rifles, and have decided to stick Nightforce scopes on them =)

What part about NATO and its roll in killing indiscriminately do you not understand

Fucking GREEN Peace - go fly a kite
