Don’t know if picture is stock photo but would a sniper use woolly looking camo in semi-desert ?

That's not a Sniper, it's a colorblind Yeti on vacation 😎

Has anyone seen the new sniper rifle that can take a first time shooter and have him hit targets at 1,000 yards? It's made by a Texas company. It doesn't fire when you squeeze the trigger. It waits until a laser is in the right place before it fires. It was impressive.

I hope this individual strikes more than fear into the hearts of these ISIS members. A little lead would be good.

Do you have a link or reference for that?

I’d like to think it’s one of our guys.

There are other capable troops, though, given the right weapons.

The Peshmerga are not too shabby.

I don’t know if Chechens would be invited to participate, but they’re pretty competent.

But yeah, American, British, and Canadians have the equipment and training to reach out and touch someone.

I’ve seen pictures of arid camo like in Iraq and it looks like rock and sand.

I saw it on that stupid Viceland channel last night. I can't remember the name of the company. It's the scope technology that makes it work. It's two brothers from Texas who own the company. One is retired military who was wounded in action.

I had a Doberman that made the Chewbacca sound and was named for it. Raised Him from a bottle starting at 5 days. Smartest Dog I’ve ever had. I miss Him.
