After these days of rigorous training, Qin Hao felt that he had indeed improved a lot. Some soldiers from the special forces also felt that Qin Hao had improved so fast that it was simply unbelievable...
Therefore, they all looked at Qin Hao with admiration, and some outstanding old snipers became Qin Hao's teachers one after another, because they felt that this was a good young man who would definitely have a very good future in the future...
In regular battles, snipers play the role of ghost warriors, but what about in some special situations? For example, in cities...
"Starting from today... we will start to teach you some important knowledge about snipers... even moral issues..."
Qin Hao nodded, he was still very modest...
Imagine that special forces are suddenly sent to an unfamiliar place to participate in the rescue of peacekeeping forces, or they have to maintain order in urban areas of big cities, deal with hijackings, rescue hostages and protect innocent citizens. What role does a sniper play?
What? Is using a sniper the most appropriate choice in this situation?
The obvious answer is... "Yes!"
When a sniper arrives in an area controlled by militants, his or her mission is to launch the most accurate attack on a specific target after obtaining instructions and approval from superiors. However, this will only happen when the commander believes that the militants are about to harm the troops or are desperate to do harm.
, otherwise the commander will not issue this instruction and approval to the sniper under normal circumstances. In this situation, the sniper’s more important task is to collect and report. In addition, the sniper will also be followed when the situation is needed.
Delegate the following tasks:
Clear out snipers of armed elements in the area; clear out armed elements who carry out robbery, kidnapping, hostage-taking, etc. in the area; be responsible for observing and monitoring a specific area, and record and report military activities in the area; use one's own concealment
Advantages to assist other troops in their operations; protect other troops in the area, including fire brigade, engineering team, etc.!~
Of course... snipers also have some skills...
Techniques for snipers to perform missions in urban environments include: operational positions, and urban sniping and hiding locations...
Choosing sniping and hiding locations is the key to success or failure in an operation for a sniper. Whether you can survey the entire area is the main factor in whether you can control the entire area.
According to common sense, when choosing a sniper position, the higher the better, which is what we often call the "commanding heights." However, this is a fatal mistake in urban combat environments, because the sniper needs to overlook the entire city from the commanding heights.
area and often ignore the immediate danger around them...
For example: the sniper position is located on the top floor of a 20-story building. If the sniper wants to observe the street below, he has to stick his head out and look down. The position will be exposed immediately. At that time, the sniper will need to deal with emergencies in the nearby environment.
It is impossible to predict emergencies and accidents, and these emergencies and accidents are closer and faster than the street below. For example, if an enemy sniper is hidden in the building opposite, it will be very dangerous.
It is very stupid to imitate shooting on the rooftop in movies and TV shows. Remember not to use the sky as the background color at any time. If so, an enemy sniper who has received basic shooting training can easily hit you from 200 meters away.
The "ten rings" position on the body
Therefore, when choosing a sniper position in an urban environment, the three distances of near, medium and far must be taken into consideration. The sniper position should be set no higher than 15 meters. Even if the position is exposed, there will be enough time to run to the street and blend into the crowd.
Escape, unless the nature of the mission is special!~
However, this is generally a police mission, which has no tactical requirements and does not care about the aftermath. It is only responsible for shooting when ordered... Otherwise, it is absolutely not recommended to go to higher floors. Even the stupidest sniper knows that there is a dead end.
The following are better places for sniping and hiding...
Dilapidated buildings or buildings. For such places, snipers must guard against traps. One of the best ways is to pay attention to whether there are people who often come in and out of the building, especially children; shops; schools or community gathering places, such as churches, theaters; factories
; A deserted place near the city; between two floors of a building; this is a very good sniping and hiding location, even though there are no windows or a good shooting platform.
In these places, certain bricks or stones need to be removed to create a window or shooting platform, but these bricks and stones must be returned to their original positions after observation and shooting, otherwise they will affect the appearance of the building and attract the attention of the enemy.
…
In some special terrains, in short, it is necessary to adapt to circumstances...
After mastering these, are you a qualified sniper? No! no! no! You are still far from enough...
The methods and techniques of range calculation are a compulsory course for every sniper and the most basic thing. It is easy to do it, but it is difficult to do the best...
Many people have a misconception that a sniper can easily hit the target by simply placing the target in the center of the crosshair of the scope and pulling the trigger. This is a completely wrong idea. We know that the trajectory of the bullet after it is fired is
Parabolically, pistol bullets will produce slight differences discernible with the naked eye at 15 meters, and rifle bullets at about 70 meters.
, so depending on the distance, the bullet may land at any point on the vertical cross line. The sight is not a guide but only a reference. To accurately hit the target, a sniper must accurately estimate the distance to the target.
Although snipers will be equipped with ultrasonic or laser rangefinders, they still need to master the most basic estimation skills just in case.
First of all, the one hundred meter unit measurement method... This is a very easy method. First of all, you need to know what the distance of one hundred meters is. If there is an unknown distance, you only need to calculate how many hundred meters can be placed there.
Then you can know the approximate distance. Please note that if the terrain is upward, it will give you the illusion of being farther away. If the terrain is downward, it will make you feel farther away.
It will produce the illusion of being closer. The disadvantage of the one hundred meter unit measurement method is that you can only get more accurate measurements on relatively flat terrain. This is especially important for measuring long distances. If the target appears within one hundred meters or more
One hundred meters away and the sniper can only see part of the terrain between the target and the target, the one hundred meter unit measurement method cannot be accurate in this case.
Target appearance measurement method... This method uses the true size and characteristics of the target to measure the distance to the target. For example, a person driving a motorcycle does not need to know the true distance between him and the car in front of him to safely start from a sufficient distance.
The position is beyond it, assuming the motorcyclist knows
How long is a kilometer of road? There is an oncoming car that is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. The distance between the two headlights is 3 cm. The next time he sees a car of the same size, he will know that the distance between him and that car is one kilometer.
Kilometers, this method can also be used by snipers to determine distance, at a known distance
By paying attention to some people or objects at an unknown distance, you can determine the distance by comparing their sizes and characteristics. When using the target appearance measurement method, the sniper must be very clear about the size and characteristics of the objects at different distances, such as sniper notes
The next person stands one hundred meters away
Then record the size of the person half-kneeling and squatting at the same distance. If you repeat the observation from 100 meters to 500 meters, the sniper will naturally develop a set of distance observation skills.
, snipers also need to use other objects or vehicles as practice.
The mixed application of the 100-meter unit measurement method and the target appearance measurement method... In a good environment, both the 100-meter unit measurement method and the target appearance measurement method are feasible, but in a good environment on the battlefield, it is unique.
So the sniper needs to use a mixture of these two methods. The terrain will limit the one hundred meter unit measurement and the visibility will also be limited.
It will affect the target appearance measurement. For example, the sniper cannot clearly see the terrain between the target and the target, but he has enough visibility to estimate the distance. Even if the target looks blurry, the distance can still be determined by the size of its appearance, so it only needs to be
Using a mixture of these two methods, an experienced sniper can achieve 90% accuracy.
Distance calculation formula... This method requires observation with a sight or telescope equipped with a millimeter scale, and uses the height of the target on the scale to calculate the distance to the target. The calculation equation is as follows...
Multiply the true size of the target (in meters) by one thousand divided by the size of the target on the scale (in millimeters) and finally, the distance to the target...
Of course, nothing is absolute. Sometimes, rich experience is very important... As the saying goes, practice makes perfect and skill makes perfect...
There are many factors that affect the estimated distance. Let’s briefly mention a few...
First, the nature of the target... Objects with a regular appearance will appear closer than objects with an irregular appearance; the contrast between the target and its background is greater; if only part of the target can be seen, it will also look farther away...
Secondly, the nature of the terrain... If you watch a sniper on undulating terrain, it is easy to think that the target is farther due to visual errors, so if possible, try to observe on a relatively flat terrain...
Also, the effect of light and darkness...the target will become closer if you see it clearly. The target will always look closer when viewed in full sunlight than at dusk, fog or rain. If the sun is behind the target, it will look closer.
It will feel far away...
A sniper must kill with one hit. He must hide himself well, become a real ghost warrior, and give the enemy a fatal blow in the chest... So...
The skill of estimating distance seriously affects the accuracy of your shooting. Remember, if you can't determine how far away your target is, you'd better give up the mission and stop shooting...
The days of training are always hard, but Qin Hao feels that he is becoming mature little by little, and his wings are broadening and plumping up little by little. Sooner or later, he believes that he will become a... very outstanding...
