Thread: NZ Defence Force to buy 82 new high-tech rifles for $4 million

IF thats the case then ALL shooters have to use issue ammo with issue rifle shooting from unknown distances while being sprayed with a hose. We'll see who wins then.

I don't care how much it costs to have troops armed and trained to the best they can be. but if your trained specialist, and snipers are, then you should be able to out do the local hick with his civilian gun any day.

So a civilian wins over a soldier in a single match setting? It makes the civilian a better shot that day, but not a better sniper.

Sniping is of course whole lot to do with with other matters than purely pulling the trigger and often also about not pulling the trigger.

Have you served in your military there?

It is quite common for the civilian to beat the guy from the forces from what I've read on a number of local and overseas forums. Mostly what I've read has been from the non civie. The things in favour of the civilian are that he gets to tailor his gear and load a lot more, and has to fork out for it all so makes sure it does what it needs to. The enlisted guy gets given the gear and ammo which is generally not tuned so well, but made to do it's job.

who gives a toss as long as you can shoot minute of terrorist, its all good.

So ,I have a question.
Did the nz army not made a choice already last year on a new sniper rifle system ? Was is not the new Sako that was chosen?? I thought?.

I will REPEAT !!!

I would be more worried about where/who the gear is to be used for/on.
A lot of unnecessary Wars on our Planet.
Heard of Donbass (East Ukraine) a lot of Sniper activity there - by local AND NATO mercenaries.

Not all - as we are lead to believe via Media are "enemy or bad" people.
They are more collateral damage to a hidden agenda for hegemony advance/gain.

PS
I am VERY slightly pissed with the last 60 mins News
NZ$ tanked - imports UP
Good luck - God Bless

I agree, I miss it

Anyway - you target Gurus

This Tread is about a weapon that is used solely for killing us – yes people!!
Now - you can all fool yourselves that it only wipes out EVIL – but truth is - it kills more innocents than adversaries.

Understand!!

Perhaps you can add more to conversations on the Green Peace facebook page rather than here, if that's how you feel? The thread is under the "Firearms, optics, and accessories" tab, we are discussing the Army's new purchases here.
I think it says a lot that they've obviously had a healthy budget for these rifles, and have decided to stick Nightforce scopes on them =)
