Snipers are a psychological tool as much as a tactical tool. When the enemy refuses to leave their encampment (or even their shelter) because of sniper threats, you have effectively won that region.

I'd be inclined to think psychological would be the greatest asset.
The bad guys knowing you can "reach out and touch somebody" as an invisible force .. has to be demoralizer.
Mebbe that why those bucks were so elusive three days into hunting season.

Amazing how many times that lesson needs to be re-learned, eh?

I can say it until I am blue in the face... It won't change the minds of people that think wars can be won without men on the ground. There I go again.

Lol, funny you mention that weapon system. I just had a ton of fun with one a week ago. Thing does 1000+ yard shots like a boss. The action is pretty rigid though (guess thats what you get for super tight tolerances though!).

sorry Chris,..didn`t know about it

have quite a few guys I went to school with that went to the Bundeswehr and actually were deployed

I don`t think every sniper is equal,but in warzones ugly things occur

some totally necessary,others contributing to the dislike of snipers by me

but back on topic :

can one legally obtain this rifle in the US?
