Sniper questions (no, not a scope on a tippmann!)

[sajohnston]

pretty much true. The Hellfire depending on model is right around an even 100 pounds on the rail. A good portion is propellant that burns off early in flight. The most common model has a double shaped charge warhead. I is to trigger/defeat reactive armor, the second to destroy the tank and crew. Like I said modern tanks are designed to vent the explosions of the fuel/ammo away from the crew but the hellfire creates such an overpressure inside that it scrambles the crew and "pops the top" (turret) off the tank.

It's more then just that

the marine scout/sniper school is in camp pendleton(where i sometimes play paintball) i have heard(history channel) that some seals use the m14 for sniping. The 50 is cool though becuase a sniper can skillfully take out a tank in one shot(depleated uranium round). The sniper school is very difficult(like 5 round pattern in a 2" circle at a mile, i think).

If my understanding is correct this may be incorporated into the test you were discussing or may be a stand alone test. The recruit, at the end of training, is allowed entry to a large field/area. He must hit a target several times from various ranges all the while avoiding detection and capture by "hunters" who take to the field after him.

i dont think it would be practical to do that, the point is to avoid detection and if the "hunters" knew he was in the field shooting off shots he looses. I was just referring to the last accuracy test, they do lots and lots of other things, though.

Actually, It's AWM, not AWP. In Colsol, etc.. it's called AWP for some odd reason, but the AWM Stands for "Arctic Warfare Magnum"

Next time, look @ the Buy screen. It's AWM.

Heh, don't worry 'bout it. I 'Still call it AWP too, its just I did AWM for accuracy purposes.

no pun intended

Yeah, you're right but when you said CS I wanted to straighten out that the game recognizes it as an awp...
