I'm kinda partial to the .50 version, 'reach out, reach out and touch someone'

Now this is extremely good news. For too long in our history we demeaned the importance of snipers. Truly, they can change the course of the conflict. These Muslim gangsters can't afford to show their faces for fear they will be picked off. They are instead cowering in their holes. This is the way it should be fought. Just keep up the seige, take your time, and eventually these vermin will come up for air. They have no choice. In this instance, time is on our side. Let's use it.

As a sniper I would be very tempted to hit one of these rpgs while it was carried by achmed in a confined enviroment.....

[Lurker]

One shot, one kill.

Semper Fi.

Just keep killing them. The American People support you!

[taxcontrol]

Agreed, but would you still get credit for the kill? Remember, it only counts if the death results by direct action of the sniper.

Personally, I would drop back to the tactics the Vietcong used. Wound a guy, leave him screaming, and then when his buddies come.......

[Hat-Trick]

Aim for the dot in the middle of Achmed's forehead, then blowup the RPG as his buddy's come to claim the body. I have to imagine that today's sniper is is able to deploy some pretty nice gear & technology.

I hope they are doing exactly that. A shot to the kneecap ought to get them screaming. And then pick off the rest when they come to drag him off.

"vermin will come up for air. They have no choice. In this instance, time is on our side. Let's use it. "

Only way to do bizniz here, also a way to advance the art (experiment with better imaging & targeting tech.).

Plus, they are most afraid of this, no better way to "psych them out"(which is what war is all about).

We are in the future, they are not, let's use our advantage!

The military has asked that sniper names not be published. Insurgents were said to have placed a bounty for the killing of any Marine sniper.

For being a moron?

[Mark17]

The terrorists don't know where the snipers are, uhh sure we pulled em out just like you asked.

Yes Abdul, we pulled our snipers back. BANG. Oops, sorry Abdul, one of our young Marines must not have gotten the word. Oh well, rest in peace anyway.

Glad they are getting some trigger time, punching paper gets pretty boring.

[Dave S]

I'm sure that getting shot by one of the guys is very demoralizing!

I imagine it does an even better job on the Jihadist next to him who gets the guy's brains splashed in his face.
