for close contact: take the sniper rifle jump jump jump so that the enemys' round wont hit you easily. while jumping try to take out the enemy in 1 shot. or you can draw out your pistol and fire at them.
otherwise camp in secluded corners and take them out. -
Sniper's life easy? Hahahahahaha.....
Training for sniper includes lying down on the ground under the hot sun for god knows how long and don't get caught by your supervisor...
Also, they are one of the first into the battlefield as survalence...
Also, the rifle very powerful, if you weak, it can break your sholder...
So.... wannabe a sniger? -
prone down and lie motionless for 2 hours without falling asleep. if u manages to stay awake, then maybe u stand a chance.

hope your dream come true

I had a friend who was a sniper in the U.S. Marine Corps, and believe me, it was hard getting into sniper school, hard passing the school and a hard life afterward. Not only do you have to have a lot of patience (maybe "a lot" is an understatement...), but you have to deal with the idea of pulling the trigger and taking another man's life. Not many people can deal and live with their conscience.
Somehow, my USMC friend was able to overcome his own demons, but he still doesn't like to talk about his past.
Best of luck to you, but it's not all the glitz and excitement which you see in Hollywood movies. -
I got a friend who's a division lvl sniper. Not an easy life. 5 day mission he got like wad? 6 hrs of sleep total.

u try and camp for 3 days
to shoot one target -
Hi I was a SAF sniper PC during my NSF days. I'm not sure if you are dead serious about signing on as a snipper. My thoughts are
1. Yes, training is tough and so is the selection for sniper course. For NSF, it's more like they choose you rather than you choose to go.
Once you are in, it's very fun to go for range and live firing. Bn / Bde / Div level exercises are fun too, the only problem with the later is that there are way to few two-sided exercises. In camp, sniper life is good ... very good indeed
2. As for signing on as a regular (non commission officer), i feel that your army career is limited. You CANNOT stay as a sniper sgt for long. There are not many sniper regulars out that, most are "stuck" in sniper training wing (like a "sniper school"), converted to ops spec (S3 branch) or into the line units as PS, CSM etc. During my time, sniper platoon sgts were all regulars but now they are all replace by NSFs.
3. As for signing on as a regular (commission officer), you will start off in BMT, OCS and follow by sniper school. That will be more than 1 year combined. As with all regulars, your PC appt will usually last for a year or two, than you will likely have to move on to other non sniper appointments (unless you got backed back to sniper school). That's the end of your sniper stint. Sniper PC is a appointment not a vocation.
If you really like to be a professional sniper for a career you may need to join SOF or some similar outfit. Of course that's another story all together. -
but imagine la~~ one 3SG shooting the head of a COL off.Originally posted by icYwATeR:u try and camp for 3 days

snipers cant wear specs right? cuz of sniper eye injury due to recoil.
What if the soldier's degrees are less than 200
-
Sniper is not a vocation by itself, so you can't choose to be a sniper. Sniper normally must be big strong build because they need to carry a lot of stuff between the pair of them when on mission. For life of a sniper, see the movie "Jar head"

Snipers use a Swiss-made weapon and scope. Think I saw in the newspaper some time ago.Originally posted by Agenda:do snipers still take scoped KAR98k?
