Re: US Sniper rifle???
 

I was a sniper in WW2 and never went to a sniper school. As a young child I hunted wolves in the Urals with my grandfather. For some reason the only bait we had was our only horse. I would lay in the freezing cold for hours while my grandpaps would whisper little tidbits of sniper knowledge. The last hunting trip I was on I froze and could not take my shot in time. I honestly froze. My grandpa had no tidbits of info on how to stay warm and I was frozen to the ground. I must have really made him upset because the next thing I know I was on a troop train headed to the front lines. Long story short is I hooked up with some political officer who made famous. I shot a guy taking a shower and then some kid was swinging from a rope. After the war I repaired dental chairs and married a German sniper. We made beutiful sniper babies.

I think this game is crazy because there is no factor involved for a sniper who puts snow in his mouth so the enemy can't see his breath. And would it be too much to ask to get a detailed desription of the face paint the sniper has on? What happens if a sniper puts face paint on his rifle scope and can't see? I think we need to scrap the whole thing and start over.

I hope this is tongue in cheek..

If it was supposed to be "funny" it was lost on me,expecially the part on shooting kids.

It was from the movie "Enemy At The Gates". Russian sniper movie? The German sniper hung the kid who was betraying him. Did not say anything about shooting kids. Nevermind.

Yes daferg, I've seen this excellent, if somewhat unrealistic movie (like, you'd think snipers practically decided this epic battle by themselves) over a dozen times. Your sense of irony is noted.

And no, you didn't say anything about shooting kids. It wasn't even in the film. You'd think that afficiandos of a wargame with powerful snipers would've been familiar with the story-- originally written by William Craig in book form--but apparently not.
