This comes back from all the newbies. HA HA HA!

My nuts look disturbingly like cooking apples. Should I see a doctor about it?

You newbies just don't get it, do you? We're all making fun of you in private!!!

What he meant to say was, "We're all making fun of your privates!"

I believe it does.

But no one will ever know. :-(

Just 'cos I just started participating in these shenanigans doesn't mean I haven't been visiting the site for a long time. Maybe I just got a new sense of self-worth and decided, what the hell, let's write the worst comic strips man has ever known.

My privates are so small they are immune to your cruel jibes and as for making fun of me behind my back (as a newbie) take a fucking number and wait your turn like the rest of the world.

You guys just don't know.

Artemis is a double agent; take him out. *one of the laser marks whizzes directly onto Artemis's head*

What, are we in a dark room where we need to be really secretive?
What you really need to watch for is guys dressed in black on rooftops. That's about the only real sign that you're about to be sniped.

Snipers don't use laser sights. It'd be kinda stupid. Think about it. With a laser sight, you'd have to lead if the person was moving, if not, he'd see the red dot, or someone else would. All in all, why pay $200 for a laser sight, when you could pay $100 for a good optical sight?

---

Work fast; as soon as the dot is where you want it, BAM!

Besides, a good sniper will have that dot on the fella's forehead on the first try. It's more of an error-checking device than a targeting system.

But you're probably right; optical sights are better if you're hitting from far away.

Surely having a red dot goes against the whole point of sniping: don't give away where you are.

Laser sights are good for close-quarters combat in the dark, much better than flashlights. Optical sights are best for true sniping, since they give no sign of where the shot is coming from, and by the time you hear the gunshot, it's too late. Night-vision sights are good for long-distance shots at night (obviously). Flashlights are obviously a last-resort. There's no real reason I can think of that a squad would have flashlights built into their guns. Maybe an evacuation team, or something, but they're not THAT practical. Really, they would be used as you see Mulder and Scully use them. With handguns, hand over hand, and used to check something out, while having a gun ready to fire at anything that moves or smells funny.

Just my educated opinions.

I guess I'm thinking sharpshooters instead of snipers (no real difference, except sharpshooters are condoned). You don't really care if you get spotted as long as you get your target.

I think DX is right about what he posted. But the laser sight can't be used in really dark areas (because you can't see your target anyway andit's easy to spot a shooter).

You know what I hate? You've booked your room at the Hilton months in advance. You've got your breathtaking view of Embassy Row. You've got your tripod set up. You've got your .308 Win racked and ready. The sun is out and Smoky is on the oldies station. Out comes the Nicaraguan attache and he's standing by the limo having a fucking conversation while his so-called security men loiter on the sidewalk like they're watching a soccer game. I mean just give me the money in a bag! And then...

...it happens every time....

you get the hiccups!

I don't know if it's stress, or what, but does this happen to you? I guess it's funny, in retrospect.

What game is that? I want it.

So someone needs to make a video game about a sniper. A police one, if people are bothered by assassin-types.

Boo, it's happened to me a couple times. Usually, I just correct my aim and take another shot. They think their "bulletproof windows" will protect them, but explosive rounds tend to disagree.

---

No good, you have to get rid of the hiccups to take the shot, in my experience. It's not like sawing someone's head off. And exploding rounds are no good for domestic wetwork, for a variety of reasons, mostly having to do with a) getting away, and b) deniability. They're OK for hot zones, because anyone can get anything. It's anarchy. Here, you should use ammo any schlub could buy from Wal-Mart so as not to raise a red flag. I mean, name one major job that was done with illegal ammo here in the States. Not lately!

Also, explosive tips sometimes blow up inside body armor, which isn't what you want.

Best round ever: .22 short, and get in close. Definitely not my thing, though! I prefer to phone it in.

Someone did. It is called Silent Scope. It is in some arcades and you use a sniper rifle. You look through the scope and it transfers to the screen and magnifies your targets (as a scope should do). It is fun, but they rape you on money. Or you could just buy the game for ps2.

Just wanted to clue everyone in that I was specifically referencing the laser sights that the Predator uses. Three little red dots in triangular formation.

Dnag! I knew that was from a movie but couldn't place it. It was driving me nuts.
