Now there are "pro et contra" of everything and a lowered gun law is no exception sir,,, Our country fears this outcome thats why we are not lowering our gun laws,,, am sorry mods for being off topic,,,,,
Sorry, I just have to say that gun control increases crime. You should know, USA most violent cities have banned guns, and still have increasing murder.

Also, do you think we'll see 3d printed sniper rifle?

On phone so can't make long post, is there an app?

Hi Experts,

Which sniper rifle is considered to the best across all armed-forces ? And, which one would be best for Indian conditions ?

Is the IA satisfied with Dragunov's ?

10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper


1. Do not create a basecamp or  fixed positions.
A sniper is a nomad. You must pop up where least expected. Never remain long in one position: it might be observed.

2. Be meticulous about gathering intelligence.

Where, when, and under what circumstances are our own soldiers being killed by enemy snipers? Then reconnoitre the ground and work out how the enemy snipers may be operating.

3. Work closely with ordinary soldiers deployed nearby.
They can provide intelligence, decoys, and distractions. They have awareness of events around them.

4. Always use a trench periscope for scouting and surveillance.
Never assume it is safe to expose yourself to gather intelligence. Always assume apparent quiet harbours danger. Work slowly, cautiously, and methodically. The successful sniper 'measures seven times and cuts once'.

5. When you must expose yourself, you should expose the barest minimum, be totally camouflaged, and as still as possible.
Lie like a stone and merely observe. Aim to be completely invisible, even to the trained eye.

6. Yours is a war of nerves, concentration, and endurance.

Create distractions, exasperate him with diversionary movements, and exhaust his ability to concentrate.

7. Use a dummy close to your own position.

The dummy is designed to draw the attention and  fire of an enemy sniper, so that he reveals his position.

8. Alternatively, allow the enemy sniper to get used to a dummy until he becomes careless about it.

Then take its position, and get the enemy sniper in your cross-hairs.

9. Do not fire until you are absolutely certain of a kill.

If you fire without a clear target, you reveal your own position.

10. Everything depends upon exhaustive intelligence, meticulous preparation, careful attention to detail, and endless patience.

Impatience is death.

cool, he has solved one of the problem :thumb:

hope he will get Patent soon. Others will use his stuff.


this is similar to mount a red dot on the scope ring, and zero both at same distance. there are plenty scope ring that allow mounting of a reflex sight.

Snipers of the 2nd
Foreign Infantry Regiment
(France) using a
PGM HécateII and a
FR-F2 in Afghanistan in 2005.








French snipers participating in a long distance marksmanship challenge. Although smaller caliber rifles like the FR F2 were also there, the ones in the photo are the PGM Hecate II, a large bolt-action chambered in 12.7x99mm, known as .50 BMG.
