Might be a bit different than competition target shooting lying in the crap somewhere for days waiting for a shot at a human. And if you balls it up there will be problems coming your way fast. Even if you don't balls it up there may be problems coming your way!
Fascinating what threads that grow!
it is Norway LOL
Anyone keen to come shoot rabbits with me 2moro..???
you need to be able to start 450yards min..:wtfsmilie:.you can dress like a sniper if you want ,the rabbits dont care eather way:D
Im in! But can you please send me a photo of the AO so I can ensure my suit and sling-shot are matched to the terrain? Will you be taking your vehicle and shouting lunch?
Yeah that'd be fun !was popping some with a standard 22 lr at 200-230 yards 7 power scope -which I thought was pretty good and easy to be fair
I think wearing kit would be fun --it does actually work as well .Nothing wrong with wearing what our soldiers wear -its respectQuote:

long bow you say , Ill come dressed as Robin hood
Tights should be a breeze for you EL B. Have you green ones though? TBF I would rather wear tights than a ghillies suit any day of the week. I still have an old one and unfortunately you can smell it, a long time before you see it:DQuote:

A bit of work in making a full outfit for sure --didn't you wash the bloody thing
ohh new post.. what smells worse EL Bs tights or R93s Gillie suit.....lol
the back of my tights after a boil up mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You never wash a standard open country ghillie suit apart from when it is first completed, to frizz it up.Quote:

I would imagine a very light suit could be handy for varminting
The base suit is issued now a days but you had to have a go at making one and passing a stalk or concealment with it. The issue ones are decent bits of kit that just needed adding to. Heavy pants and jacket that are padded on knees and elbows. You also still had to make your own head veil.
Interesting R93 -I like military stuff and enjoy talking about it unlike many others i have a keen interest in Tactical bits and bobs -Military and tactical shit is more interesting than hunting kit --in my opinion
El B I hope you are not confusing "Tactical" with "tack tickle" (which is what my missus gives me with her jodphurs and boots on - riding crop in hand).
hell Rushy is there another kind???;)
I'm curious. On the modern battlefield - do snipers have to seek solid cover at night to avoid detection with thermal cameras ? The whole 'night ops' thing would only work against third world enemies surely.Quote:

Depends on how they are deployed I spose. Thermal avoidance is not that hard when static. It would really only be an opposing sniper or helicopter that would be a threat unless you fucked up majorly and they picked your general position quickly.
so avoidance by not sitting in the open is the method employed or are there cloths that help -ive seen a tent that does it but never more
another questioned Ive seen posed but never really answered is how to escape the good old dog -if it was an English Setter:P tracking you your done but all other Im sure there is an opportunity if you know how to escape
Shoot the dog, its only a setter :DQuote:

You would never rely on any form gucci clothing to conceal you from any form of observation. You still have to use the ground and your wits. You can select a position in pretty much any terrain I can think of that will conceal you, even if an enemy on the ground was looking straight at you with the best of thermal gear. Concealing your self from both ground and air would be a challange unless using a static hide but.
you say ground even though you say you can conceal while someone is thermal imaging you ?? The air observation must be a bastard to get away from -insane what they see in a helo when blasting the insurgents , mind they appear never to have a clue theyre being observed for more points
Yes. Just think how thermal works. Think how you can conceal yourself by using how it works to your advantage.
No offence intended but I think you need a different mindset to understand or work out the answers your questions. Its all in the plan and you have an "actions on" most, if not all scenarios. Its warfare. Your expendable. Its up to you not to make it so easy.
Forgot to mention that armour would be a huge threat from the ground as well. They can observe you with out fear of exposing themselves in order to do so.
not being a military man R93 my questions would appear naive Im sure sometimes never the less the technology and skill sets you and many others have learnt is fascinating and I appreciate you sharing some of your insights with me and others that enjoy talking of these things
Not naive, just of a different mindset and experience. It can be quite humbling and scary thinking like prey. The trick is I spose, not to think to much about it.
farrkk yeah scarey as hell being hunted whilst hunting - I hope I never need to go through that !! I think it is a special character that would take these roles on and maybe a little more brave than others -I could be wrong but I know id be shit scared
evading the dogs is there special stuff you guys are taught or is it do the best you can
quite a few reading these post so I hope we dont cross any info bounds you feel uncomfortable talking about regarding millatary technology or actions
El B, my understand is that the requirements for former service men and women to adhere to and observe the provisions in the Official Secrets Act endure until death. That said, information that is already in the public domain (except by way of unofficial release) can be freely discussed.Quote:

With dogs, again you have to think how dogs will be used against you. They will be either controlled by a handler or not. I am sure you could think of several ways of dealing with each problem, knowing dogs, without immediately compramising yourself.
dogs - seriously a good tracking dog would be hard to evade -other than crossing water and exiting a new point I would know how to evade one .
My dog if nose winding I can hide for a while if they have come from a distance and cant see me ...............they usually find me
If your dog was sent after me I wouldnt be to worried, unless it licked me to death:thumbsup:
A military/police trained dog would get a different reception if it got close enough. The pricks leading or following it probably wouldnt be to happy either. All things going well, I wouldnt have had to lift a finger;)
Off the K-BarQuote:
