With a sniper rifle, These guys arent so good. A true marksman hits his target everytime, a marksman has to have 100% accuracy and should also be placed strategically in the field, Which means in an area where he can see the enemy and can take clean shots to pick off each target, A marksman doesnt run in with infantry and shoot.
what do you know buddy i agree with some of the stuff you saying but things dont go that way even if its the best sniper in the world it doesnt go 100% all the time dont forget its real life we are only humans
Where does "video games" come into this? Clearly YOU are the one who plays the video games if you do not understand how a properly trained marksman operates.
I go to military college. My roommate and two good friends are both veterans. The point of this is, this "marksmanship" unit, is like the Golden Knights: recruiting, showcasing skills, and to be instructors.
Marksmanship is taught to ALL riflemen: infantry, artillery, armor, MPs, etc. "Marksman" don't have 100% accuracy, but they can engage a mansized target to 500 yards and beyond without magnification.
Also, you're describing a sniper, and you're using an antiquated mentalility that hasn't been effective in current urban combat. Sniper teams are now primarily mobile units that move quickly into and out of vulnerable positions to psychologically discourage enemy morale. Yes, they mostly run with infantry. There's no "sniper platoon." The spotter is trained as a rifleman as well.
Finally, there is no "sniping" in this video. At all. Most of those rifle shoots are made offhand at a range of about 100 meters or so, from the video. Sniping describes manuevering a dedicated marksman, a rifle expert, into a position of enemy vulnerability, shooting for specific targets, and exfiltrating. Shooting's part, but not all. For reference into the evolution of sniping, read "Shooter" by USMC GySgt Jack Coughlin. It's a great book.
Regardless. A precision weapon such as a sniper must use concentration to get an accurate hit. If you are in a battlefield with Artillery, Abrams and dodging bullets from the enemy, You do not have that level of concentration believe me. I'm saying that an 'effective' marksman is best put into use away from the action in a safer position where he has a much wider view of the battlefield and has a level of concentration to think about which target is the bigger threat and actually save lives.
2) Snipers don't operate alone, and I can't see why they'd be in an area danger-close to friendly artillery and armor.
3) How do you know I don't have that level of concentration? Ever get wolfpacked and quarterdecked by drill instructors and try listening to instructions at the same time?
4) The sniping team doesn't hang back... that's called an overwatch. They go ahead and recon to establish an OP. Why do you think it's a "scout sniper?"
SFC Robbie Johnson is the second shooter featured. He's 2 time winner of the International Sniper Team Challenge held at Ft. Benning and he's a former Ranger. Think he knows how to shoot long range and as a sniper.
all combat shooting should include include marksmanship durring Austrailian split ,and retrieval of downed comrad under simulated fire donditions,or at least sprint 100 yards before fireing . great shoot,n though!
They train troops and recruit when they aren't shooting competitions.....P.S....I wonder what the Nazi's who posted here about "whites" would think of KC Eusibio (a Filipino who is also on the team)?....The last time I checked the military was integrated about a hundred years ago...Morons
Excuse me for expressing my god given right as an AMERICAN. Im not a Nazi. I read a really good book about Sepp Allerberger (second highest scoring German sniper in WWII). And when the time came to choose a gamertag, I chose one in haste. So next time you decide to be an ass, think about it a little bit. oh and thanks for the respect, dickhead. I was kidding about my much earlier post, I do that a lot.
British because we are the ones who found your gay countoury and some of the english people stayd ther to try and make a new race that is why you speak English you dum ass ENGLISHMAN gEt a lIfE!!!!!!!

This might possibly be the silliest statement I've ever heard. This sounds like your understanding of the military came from video games.

Great Job!
Now I hope we can get our own Army back home to defend our homeland.
The traitors in the Union Government have flooded this land with third world primitive savages and our White Children are at great risk.
If we do not defend our own White Children, then who will?
