Arc of fire sticks
-
can anyone tell me the use if the arc of fire sticks? and any other interesting uses for it.
thanks.
-
to prevent cross-fire in a defense mission
-
So basically you line up your shots according to your own sticks, kinda like lane markings huh?
-
Hmmm...I don't know but during my field camp at BMT we just used wooden twigs which were of similar length and size...are the arc of fire sticks that important?
-
Yeah...but as the name suggests, it's an arc. So your line of fire isn't like a "straight road" but like an opening fan...Originally posted by LazerLordz:So basically you line up your shots according to your own sticks, kinda like lane markings huh?

Something like that...where "_" represents where the soldier is, and the "\" and "/" represent the arc of fire. -
it's mostly used by soldiers in trenches.
Trenches are often 2 layers or more in staggered positions.
each solder in his trench will a small area in front of his trench that he's supposed to take care of, and it's mark by the angel between the 2 arc of fire stick -
and any other interesting uses for it
use it to kill your enemies if you run out of bullets...
since now SAR cannot put bayonet.

ok so basically with the sticks in fornt of us, when we shoot, we try not to knock down the sticks so as to prevent cross fire right? as your fellow soldiers might be very close to u right?
-
yep, and it's usually together with range card. In case a soldier is down, someone taking over the trench will have a clearer picture of what is in front and what to expectOriginally posted by Gordonator:ok so basically with the sticks in fornt of us, when we shoot, we try not to knock down the sticks so as to prevent cross fire right? as your fellow soldiers might be very close to u right?
Man, i really hate defense exercise, can dig until ball big -

anyway, surely there must be more interesting uses for it right? like setting up of traps to catch small animals. anyone tried before? -
the arc of fire sticks, even when black taped to be tactical and taped 2 pieces of illuminating tape as the eyes of the sticks, prove to be really IMPRACTICAL!
why? cuz lets say you push in your sticks, but due to your night admin or walking around or something, the sticks may lean or even collapse from its erect position...., then you push them back in, but becomes inaccurate already right?? i personally think its just for show...
well unless you "monkey"-ramped the stick until its at least 1/3 way in!
think its better used to pick your nose or set traps bah.... -
Try using it to catch fish.
-
I use it to throw it my men when attention is needed.
-
one thing i nv comprehend was that when you put your face nearer to the sticks the arc widens and vice versa. so when u prone on open ground with it.. (habouring) then u keep moving about.. wtf
-
Lol...I rmbr during field camp, I hid my buddy's fire sticks on purpose. He reported it as lost and got to do night sentry that night...hehex...later I returned it to him and he was so furious. But I think he's pretty dumb IMO...shouldn't have reported lost...keke

u dont put your face near it....u put the tip of the rifle barrel near itOriginally posted by schrecklichkeit:one thing i nv comprehend was that when you put your face nearer to the sticks the arc widens and vice versa. so when u prone on open ground with it..

and when you're in the trench/shellscrape,your position doesnt vary very much. You dont use it when u prone on open ground -
tie comms cord to the holes. poke the sticks into the ground. and u can get ur basha easily...
