  I believe all snipers in SAF have a tag..as long as sniper trained you can wear the tab. It looks like a marksman tag except that it has a star in the middle, positioned exactly where you would sew on your marksman badge.

  This is no official tag... any sure things are unit arrangement.
  
  The official SAF sniper badge is the same as the one for marksmanship plus a star at the centre of the crossed rifle. I werar this on my no1 and 3.
  For the no 4 it is a clothe version swen on.
  
  The badge is a qulification that need re-new annually and upon attain
  class1, that is is you pass but only class2 then you're not qualify to wear
  till you take the marksman test the next year.

  It's not a badge you want to wear in war thou, being caught with it would mean certain and fatal retribution from your captors... There is little love from captured snipers.

  A U.S sniper in Iraq was unfortunately spotted by an Iraqi who gave away his position. He was killed by a hail of bullets.

  The sniper in question was on a stationary post, on a roof, in hostile area. He was ambush as he left the building. His spotter suffered injuries but was able to hold of the enemies until the pick-up vehicle arrived with more troops, which wasn't very long.

  I understand that the S'pore Armed Forces intends to replace its current sniper rifle for something new. I'm just curious, if anyone of you had the chance to decide on the rifle, what would it be & why?
