A snipers life for me

[Etherious 907]

A sniper is a marksman who often operates alone and engages the enemy from concealed locations.

 

Also, distance isn't a defining feature, unless you're a COD fan boy and think that sniping is only about getting head shots from the biggest possible distance.

LOL Georgie, you must think everyone is some COD fanboy because they have a different opinion or something when it comes to this sniper subject. Also, why talk about distance I never mentioned anything about distance. You're very odd.  :P

AKM is not a sniper. LOL  :P

He is not talking about the rifle, a person killing from a distance, of killing by closing in unseen is called a sniper, where do you think the word comes from in the first place? It existed long before scopes did or even sniper rifles.

Well, I realized that already by now. However, I still won't change my original comment.  :P

Heh

 

xm25 or the Israeli 40mm version ?

Anything that lets me put 200 steel ball bearings through every square foot of sniper's flesh man!

 

My only regret is they don't make one that lays napalm on a sniper.  I believe it would smell just like chicken, and I am always hungry for bbq. :D  I built up a rather huge love of killing snipers in BF4, to the point that it became a sole obsession for a while.  Cleaning small concerts of them from rooftops became so pleasurable, and mostly because they ignored their actual missions.  So you have 20 guys with a fear of confrontation camping a remote perch and two guys carrying all their water... It is hard to respect that.  Firing my anti personnel rounds into them like throwing dynamite into the open mouth of a paralyzed Jabba the Hut... Just priceless.  But then I started wondering if I had become my worst loathed enemy, sniping snipers... Had the assassin condemned the assassins?  I became conflicted, so I decided to one up all those chickens by taking the sniper, but using a carbine instead of a scoped rifle... just because I could.

1. You stated that a AKM is not a sniper. It isn't a sniper rifle, but you don't need a sniper rifle to be classified as a sniper. 

2. The only distinction between a AKM with a scope and a sniper rifle is that the sniper rifle is not full auto, and has much greater accuracy and stopping power at distance. By laughing about him "sniping" with an AKM, you're immediately implying that sniping is only an activity for people trying to achieve kills at long range. 

3. Many people seem to be COD fan boys, you certainly do. 

4. Thanks, I try.

1. Guess I'm a sniper with Amphibia S then, huh? Can I haz medal?

2. Yea, I do think that, agreed.

3. Certainly do? I certainly played the series but I am no fan. Maybe try another insult that works?

4. Yea, I attempt at this stuff too.

Go get better at trolling and then come back. 

You can be a "sniper" role with an Amphibia, you just won't be a very good one considering how poor that gun is even at point blank.

Are all Americans weapons experts?

? Mosin accuracy goes up to 1000 M, some even higher. I own a Mosin that was just shipped from Russia a couple of years ago, and that thing is accurate as hell. When I was shooting on a 300 m range, the bullet actually traveled up instead of dropping. Remember, the M44 variant was basically a Mosin that was able to fit a scope, and it was very accurate. Some people go out and buy beat-up Mosins for 100 dollars and then call them PoS rifles. Their stopping power and accuracy is what helped drive the German war machine back.

Just want to add here that a bullet traveling up (rising) at a certain distance has everything to do with how your scope or sight is aligned and not really much to do with the gun.

Related note: Are mosin rounds still bending to the left when fired over long distance?

The bullet actually did travel up, Soviet soldiers would be aiming around the stomach and would be hitting center mass every time. I doubt the whole Soviet armies sights were off.

yes.tried to shoot a zed from 700m away, bullet hit left side of the zed.

That's because the barrel was pointing up...

Can you explain the physics behind these anti gravity bullets? Was the gun applying this anti gravity force to them?

lol.

 

I didn't mean sights were wrong. The sight is supposed to be like that for long range shooting. On real life long range scopes, many have yardage readings above the center crosshair. That is because if the crosshair is set to hit dead on at lets say 1000 yards, the bullet will be traveling upwards until it peaks its arc a short time right before 1000 yards.

 

Think of it this way, if you want to throw a baseball really far, do you throw it completely straight, or do you throw it in an arc, tossing it toward the sky? Same concept applies to bullet trajectory.

Remove your AKM's bipod. It's already nospread and a bipod makes the gun turn slower.

Please read below v

 

A sniper is a highly trained marksman who operates alone, in a pair, or with a sniper team to maintain close visual contact with the enemy and engage targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel. These sniper teams operate independently, with little combat asset support from their parent units. Snipers typically have highly selective and specialized training and use high-precision/special application rifles and optics, and often have sophisticated communication assets to feed valuable combat information back to their units.

So we both were 50% right I guess

Haha alright then lets split the bill  :thumbsup:

Thats what I meant, the bullet makes an arc for far away targets. What I was saying was its velocity was much higher than expected.
