The picy in Erwins post. What/who is he? If he is a sniper he will make a lot of noise (reletevly) because he has a sling fitted. Also he will give lots of reflection from his sight.
He seems to have a cover on hs helmet, possibly for goggles. And is useing a SLR derivifitve weapon.
Also the flag is a bit bright.
Is only a demostation picture, 1000ydstare.
Of course this is not his equipment, but you if you want to make some propaganda, you’ll need to keep the flag and the designation EJERCITO ARGENTINO. Of course the sling makes stronger to the weapon saw by a “normal” eye.
What a lot of posts!!!
I think Eagle was trying to say that the sling would help support the weapon whilst aiming Cuts.
Although I’m not sure this particular sling could be used in taht way.
Is the weapon a heavy barreled FN FAL? The Isralies use a heavy barreled Galil, which is the basically same weapon that their soldiers use, for sharpshooters.
FN FAL is the standart rifle for the argentina army,but there are every day more steyr augs,m16s and other weapons bought for our army so maybe it is replaced later.
Oh yes it can there are several ways a simple sling can be used to help support a rifle the easiest way being to wrap the sling around the left forearm. Speaking from my days in the ACF .303 Lee Enfield and regular army SLR both having similair simple strap type slings.
Yes it could be used like that, but the sling is not in any way dampend. Which could cause the snipers biggest worry - sound. Specific slings are usually used ie double loop for this sort of work.
Maybe this guy is just a sharpshooter rather than a sniper. True snipers generally don’t use automatic weapons.
This would explain the heavy barrel of an otherwise standard infantry weapon. Little extra training would need to be given to the plt/coy gifted shooter and if he were in someway incapacitated any person could use the weapon.
1000ys I’ll go along with that, more probably sharpshooter, in my opinion a useful comprimise between rifleman and sniper and a valuable section asset.
