I have personally used all four of these tools in EOD work..........had I the task of guarding a pipeline with regards to mirage, wind and shamal like conditions there again. Soft skin targets operating at night for the most part. I'd take the AW or the Long Bow in 338 Lapua Mag.

Stay Safe !

That's one way of doing it. There's another.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with a mix of technology and methodologies....

Gurkas still operational ? Last I heard they were disbanded or "absorbed" into regular British army units. I have a Kukuri that was given to me by one of em in 73. Huge blade and razor friggin sharp . My choice for carry was and is still the Randall 14.

IMHO a few LP/OP 's strung out with thermal could call in blackhawks and use their GAU2B's on the pipeline sappers. The surgical precision of a "trained" sniper is a waste of assets IMHO when used in such a manner as this. Where the lines pass thru urban or built up areas.....yes. Across the desert........no. Just my opinion of course.

Stay Safe Archy !!............Gurka babes ??? they sure are Purdy !
