Thread: : Snipers vs. Competition Shooters

you say ground even though you say you can conceal while someone is thermal imaging you ?? The air observation must be a bastard to get away from -insane what they see in a helo when blasting the insurgents , mind they appear never to have a clue theyre being observed for more points

Yes. Just think how thermal works. Think how you can conceal yourself by using how it works to your advantage.
No offence intended but I think you need a different mindset to understand or work out the answers your questions. Its all in the plan and you have an "actions on" most, if not all scenarios. Its warfare. Your expendable. Its up to you not to make it so easy.
Forgot to mention that armour would be a huge threat from the ground as well. They can observe you with out fear of exposing themselves in order to do so.

not being a military man R93 my questions would appear naive Im sure sometimes never the less the technology and skill sets you and many others have learnt is fascinating and I appreciate you sharing some of your insights with me and others that enjoy talking of these things

Not naive, just of a different mindset and experience. It can be quite humbling and scary thinking like prey. The trick is I spose, not to think to much about it.

evading the dogs is there special stuff you guys are taught or is it do the best you can

quite a few reading these post so I hope we dont cross any info bounds you feel uncomfortable talking about regarding millatary technology or actions

El B, my understand is that the requirements for former service men and women to adhere to and observe the provisions in the Official Secrets Act endure until death. That said, information that is already in the public domain (except by way of unofficial release) can be freely discussed.

farrkk yeah scarey as hell being hunted whilst hunting - I hope I never need to go through that !! I think it is a special character that would take these roles on and maybe a little more brave than others -I could be wrong but I know id be shit scared

I am beyond my compulsory military extention so no worries there Na, I dont think I have or would ever reveal anything considered classified. I have just mentioned that it is possible do something, not how.

With dogs, again you have to think how dogs will be used against you. They will be either controlled by a handler or not. I am sure you could think of several ways of dealing with each problem, knowing dogs, without immediately compramising yourself.

dogs - seriously a good tracking dog would be hard to evade -other than crossing water and exiting a new point I would know how to evade one .
My dog if nose winding I can hide for a while if they have come from a distance and cant see me ...............they usually find me

If your dog was sent after me I wouldnt be to worried, unless it licked me to death
A military/police trained dog would get a different reception if it got close enough. The pricks leading or following it probably wouldnt be to happy either. All things going well, I wouldnt have had to lift a finger

Hell Rushy, if they ever got that close my little girl screams would have me buggered! I was thinking more like the pressel switch on the radio

Artillery (if it is in range) would be an awesome dog (or more likely dog handler) deterent... or a claymore...

Now you are talking. How many clackers can you hold in each hand R93?
