FN-FAL DMR with Thermal sets from OFB..

The men in black can be from NSG or Marcos, though FN-FAL DMR is popular in Indian Army too..

This will help in understanding certain aspects of ammunition.

LOL! after that kind of a reply I m sure sir that no one will ask you any questions from now on

Why?

I thought I gave the basics of the issues!

I am sure if someone read those, it will help understand things better.

Just observe this photo,

Notice that while 100% blending with the surrounding is a miracle, yet, even though the other person has jumped, he looks like a brushwood lifted by the wind.

That is what is good camouflage and good camouflage saves lives and make one effective!

Indian army snipers climb scaffolding opposite the Taj Mahal Palace hotel

Sniper on your six.....watch out! Really well camouflaged, this sniper patiently awaits for his target to pop up.

I hope the above two posts of mine answers the query.

Thanks Ray Sir, It is deeply informative and enlightening.

Are the sniper guns silent?

 

[Ray]

Note how this sniper though not totally blended in an ideal manner is yet not detectable at first glance.

Now, if he moves, the light background will give him away.

So, he should crawl when exposed so that he presents a smaller image to the enemy observer.

Analyse each photo with the tenets given as to why Things are Seen.

That will be education rather than wowing at the marvels.

Wow and learn!

Are the sniper guns silent?

No, Unless its fitted with Silencer, With silencer there are special subsonic ammo..

Never seen Sniper Rifle in IA with Silencer..

snipers on the tree!

 

[Ray]

Now look at that blending into the background.

Let us check.

Is he ideally organised in this camouflage?

However, watch the second picture.

Check his cheek!

Anything more you could advise him to do to become perfect?

Kunal will post pictures and see if you could spot the errors, though they will be so minor that it may not affect the overall efficiency!

1. The camouflage seems ok with background, but as per his distinctive human figurine sitting upstaright would probably be observable from distance.
2. The sniper's boots and his guns are quiet shining in appearance.
3. Infact the camoflage is appearing darker in contrast to very light canopy of the tree.

1. The camo seems better in combination with background
2. These guys should be using camo paints on face..!!

What you suggest Ray Sir !
