The †roll Cave ®™

I’m afraid those are not marked for civilian use in the Czech Republic. But a FMJ should do a lot of fun against an old car at a range never the less.

I am happy all I need to do is pay €10 to police, fill a form and save up money to get it and don’t need to join the army…

rightfully so haha thing could do some serious damage

ya no, simo hayha. white death. enough said. A man who practices at the range a fuckload will never be able to out hunt a man who has been hunting since he was a kid. If the two were to fight, simo got to choose the battlefield, and the british sniper got to use all his fancy range finders and that stuff. simo would kill him in a heart beat. lets actually get a list going shall we?
Lyudmila Pavlichenko
Vasily Zaytsev
Corporal Francis Pegahmagabow
Now im going to say Hathcock, he doesnt have a larger confirmed kill count, but if you are a sniper, then you have probably read his book.

Also he only got 13 more kills than Chris Kyle so their really wasn’t much of a difference. Not to mention he had over 300 possible kills that were never officially confirmed.

fancy range finders haha no its called having a spotter who has a scope that displays range and wind speed/direction he calls out the these deatils and the firer simply adjusts the scope and fires , the spotter will then tell the sniper to adjust a certain way if he misses .
the british sniper would win as would any other modern sniper because simo wouldnt be able to see as far , the modern day sniper would be able to easily conceal himself and pick simo off from long range .

i often didnt have a spotter with me in my later years as the situations i was involved in simply meant my spotter was manning a machine gun , so like many experienced marksmen i could simply guess quite well a range , wind speed and direction and often was only about 700 metres tops

that doesnt count unconfirmed kills , but no not a huge difference

we can all agree that Finnland Russia and Germany have had the best snipers in history. In my opinion, world war 2 was really the golden age of the sniper.

and i thought chris kyle got 255 confirmed kills? im not being a prick here i read somewhere he had 255.

I would give it to Simo at a range of about 300-500 meters because thats the range of most of his kills. But if it was anything beyond that i would easily give it to the modern sniper due to the fact that Simo didn’t use a scope and was using a gun design from the 1800s.

He got 160 confirmed kills and the other kills were never officially confirmed.

Also a different time and war. The Snipers in Iraq and Afghanistan weren’t fighting in these giant battles that lasted months like Stalingrad in which Vasily Zeyetsev got around 400 kills because it was close quarters and involved way more troops fighting. The modern snipers were also dealing with Insurgents.

i would agree WW2 was the golden age but that was simply down to having more targets .
now days a marksmen role is not to out right kill . for example alot of my role was to simply watch for hours on end a particular compound and report and movements for a raid later on that night .
or we would notice a “dicker” which is a suspicious person following us , normally on a bike . i would then load a tracer and fire it past his head on to hit in front of him , generally this scares them off , however if i can see a weapon or radio then it becomes a different situation in which case its down to the marksmen to shoot to kill or not

Definitely more targets :smile: Im curious though, why do you enjoy being in the military? I would join the military if i needed to, if i felt i needed to defend my country, but its not something i would do because i wanted to. Armed conflict is not something i would like to do. If i could choose anything i would choose marine sniper because i consider myself a decent marksman, been shooting all my life. I feel i would be good at it because i have been hunting since i was old enough for it to be legal. But conflict seems more like a necessity then an enjoyable profession.

anyone who could shoot straight could sit in a concealed position and pick Germans off from 300 metres :slight_smile: just run when a tiger spots you

Yeah that guy was a badass he was only 5ft tall shot standing up and took an explosive bullet to the face and survived. He dueled countless Soviet snipers and killed them all and he did all this in sub zero weather. He made the Russians regret invading Finland.

Germany didn’t have any snipers near the Russians or Finish. Many people think Germany had such great snipers from the move Enemy at the gates but the Germany sniper that Vasily apparently killed didn’t even exist.

did you know the russians actually lost major battles because they would smell the finnish sausage cookers and and drop their weapons and run for the smell? i found this hilarious. stupid stalin should have fed his fucking army.

i would imagine thats just a bullshit story to make him sound even more bad ass . maybe a standard round , a touch of the old Chinese whispers in that im afraid

no no, go look at his face. it literally blew half his face off.

Took him in the cheek he was in a coma for a week.

You can see it more in his old age he lived until he was 96

yea so it didnt go off proper just through his cheek , and sizzled all the tissue ,

still got nothing on jack churchill , fought the entire war with a long bow and scottish broad sword …and survived
