Synchronized sniper shots

[TXAZ]

I heard Capt. Richard Phillips (hostage in Maersk Alabama piracy attack off Somalia) speak at a conference several years ago on not giving up, a good speech on finding inner strength to hang in there.

Just saw the movie "Captain Phillips" about that.

In a situation where there are 3 bad guys that need to be dealt with at the same time, but the targets are going in and out of sight, how do you synchronize all 3 (or however many there are) shooters to instantaneously get all the bad guys at 1 time? Hand signals, spotters communicating, whiz-bang electronics, something else?

Hi,

You saying he just blew his "Noc Noc" as listed under his sign-in name, lololol?

Just use your 50bmg. Shoot just over their heads and the Sonic boom will splode their heads. One and done.

I think it is up,down, left, right (repeat that twice), and then hit A,B at the very end. It just worked for me and I got a high score at the same time!!!!!!

That's why they're 'Operators' and you ain't.

 

[Flyingbullseye]

Best training is online Call of Duty. Those guys are pros.

 

[RedDogN8]

Don't you just shoot 3 different calibers with specific muzzle velocities so that each bullet when fired at different times will all arrive at the desired distances at exactly the same time? Doesnt your ballistic app tell you how much time you have between each shot, adjusting for the variation in wind speeds at the various timing difference?

3x kills! Done!

 

[candyx]

You shoot on report which will make the three shots about a second apart, that way the other bad guys know their fate after watching the first guy's head turn into pink mist as they look at each other.

"synchronizing shots".....fucking amateurs.

Stop being a poor and buy yourself a volley gun.

Just load as many barrels as you have bad guys and get it done in one shot

 

[johnnycat]

you all agree to fire at the exact time, then you "circumcise" your watches to the exact second. Don't choose to fire at the top of the minute - bad guys know this and duck their heads at the top of the minute. Shoot at about 16 seconds after - that's when they stick their heads back up.

Unless the bad guys have bad watches. Then you do fire at the top of the minute.

 

[Bullfrog08]

I use tertiary rounds for three kills and quarternary rounds for four kills. I used to have rounds for five kills, but pandemic and stuff!

 

[pmclaine]

The controller attaches wires to each operators nut sack and when each indicates go a button is pressed that initiates 2000 volts (but at low amps) which causes an instantaneous and involuntary squeeze of the trigger.

Its brilliant, but requires a lot of practice.

 

[Rerun7]

Back in the 1970s the miltary started experimenting with the use of telepathy as a more efficient communication tool that isn’t susceptible to enemy interference or mechanical issues. They start training with it after BUD/S and allows the most elite operators to synchronize shots with a hive mind.

Welp......you're S O L iffin it's more than seven of them.................just sayin

 

[HeavyAssault]

The obvious answer.....using hand signals. You wave at them, when they are all looking in your direction like "Who is that?" you drop the hammer.

 

[Steel head]

 

[theLBC]

i'd just back up to 1000 so i have lots of time to shoot 3 times before the first one makes impact.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

I can't believe that all you guys who've posted replies, haven't even touched on the actual entity that it is/does:

Green Light

There, I said it! continue on with your regularly scheduled programming....

 

[Son of Dorn]

Select a target by pressing "A" while looking through your scope, binoculars, or drone. Wait for Weaver, Midas, and Holt to confirm targets. Hold "A" to execute sync-shot.

But you can only do all three once you've upgraded your skill tree.

[SilentStalkr]

Damn! I didn’t know those old ladies I used to get when dialing zero were such badasses. Operators! Who knew?

TIP TOUCH!

 

[1moaoff]

Stagger shooter distance so as the 1st bullet passes 2nd shooter he fires and then as 1st and second bullet pass 3rd shooter he fires.

This timing is done in mils to target. There is also a reaction speed to consider so there's alot of necessary practice.

The biggest problem they had in reality was being south of the equator. There is some super secret stuff that was utilized to allow all that to happen with rifles zeroed in the northern hemisphere... think cray super computer processing

 

[1moaoff]

If you PM jud he can explain it all... he is the man turd

This guy did it all the time.

Wait, how am I paying attention to my target through the scope while I'm waiting for some fucking hand signal telling me to shoot?

Your controller will vibrate, duh.

Funny shit.

I think, the bad guys all have Gitmo watches.

A great cheap watch, by the way.

Also remember that you need cool code names.

Most people have two eyes! You can use both at the same time.......dont be dumb!

Anti-cant Coriolis. You need terabytes of computer to compute at a fast enough rate to match the bullets. I overheard at Cabela's.

That chick could use some cardio work, but her sword is pretty dang sharp.

 

[candyx]

I guess you shoot when he bites the the bag........ 3 man sniper team must be called a orgy in the field. Is this really necessary or is it diversity training ?

 

[TACC]

All this changes when you go from Mil to MOA

No, it's MOA to MIL.

I thought the idea was to bite and pull down on the yambag to help steady the shooter??

Daaaaang! Talk about developing a flinch!

 

[hafejd30]

Synchronized shots can only be accomplished with MIL/MIL scopes.....

MOA guys don’t even try them....

Perhaps this is one way it could be done...

1976 Loyada Hostage Rescue Mission

http://foreignlegion.info/1976-loyada-hostage-rescue-mission/

At 03:45 p.m. (15h45), an order was given to rescue the children. GIGN snipers fired coordinated shots to kill the kidnappers. In response, the Somali guns opened fire. This was the signal for the paratroopers. The 2e REP legionnaires launched a frontal attack and ran forward under enemy fire. They were designated to ensure the rescue of the children and to eliminate the Somali gunfire.

From the recent fictionalized movie: 'Fifteen Minutes of War'. The coordinated shot starts at 6:27 minutes into the video...



After the shot:


The full movie can be watched for free on dailymotion:

Thanks for posting that link, been wanting to see that.

Lots of French gun goodness in there.

 

[Mr.BR]

What is the deal here , am i missing something? Was it Somali coast guard/pirates doing the sniping or why the amazement

Hostage rescue 101 , for past 40+years ,sniper coordination systems have been used

Snipers have long used an electronic gizmo and with a press of a button indicating they have a shot to control, control has oversight of all snipers when all lights are green command to shoot fells as many targets as there are snipers.

The basic system used at least for past 40+years have simple red and green led diodes for each sniper on the control box(system you could make DIY ) , nowdays we have much fancier variants with host of features and control has sight picture from each sniper.
