Most common method of sniper insertion?

[OneTwoSevenOne]

I was just wondering what the most common insertion method is for snipers in places like Afghanistan. I know the general infantry has a lot of trouble with IED's while traveling in Humvees, but I was curious if snipers use the same methods of transport or if they are generally flown into a remote location by helicopter.

A little KY helps in those dry areas.

Re: Most common method of sniper insertion?

There are lots of different ways, but the best way is a HALO drop from 100,000 feet 20 miles offshore. Then, swim ashore and "ninja sniper" anyone that gets in the way. Find a hide, accomplish the mission. Then, get a SPIES extraction so you can continue to "whack tangos" as you fly to safety... JMHO...

Edit.. It's like this shit, but with guns!

Not that this doesn't already look more balls out than a Bird Man Suit, but has anyone been reckless enough to incorporate a small rocket motor onto this set up?


Good luck

Re: Most common method of sniper insertion?

the latest TTP's dictate but what seems to be the most effective as of late is the ole "Trojan Horse" method. Basically without divulging too much OPSEC what you do is capture a talibani, using drugs knock them out, and insert a sniper in his cornhole. Then release the subject back into the wild and when he returns to the hive the sniper fires well aimed fire from his "hide". the tricky part comes when the sniper has to escape and evade afterward. Also it gets dicey if the talibani accidentally farts, pre mature deployment and all

You always have to approach from defilade because they have built in radar on their heads.....

I don't know about a snipers preferred insertion method but I like to spit on the two-hole and send it home.

Re: Most common method of sniper insertion?

its all high speed low drag like... sometimes with segways, but what is real interesting is the weapon of choice. Most actually prefer an SKS in a folding Choate stock with a CounterSniper scope on it. its super awesome. bathing in ammonia will take care of the dogs. High Speed in its best form

Astroglide works best for mine, the hardest part is sneaking in unbeknown by your enemy.

Snipers do this thing called walking.

Re: Most common method of sniper insertion?

If you are a tactless sniper that is not looking for a second insertion, just spit on the tip and push.
