Looks like a good way to have an anti sniper shoot your rifle rest in the ass. Jerry Burney

Hence the term, "Rifle Crack".

This method is certainly "field expedient". I hope the guy keeps his head in that postion, LOL

Seriously folks...I am not sure that this would be any kind of field expedient shooting position unless the guy in front was dead... it would seem to me that using this position you would be dependent on TWO people being perfectly still and holding their breath instead of just yourself... certainly not conducive to good shooting.

Give me the old single person sling assisted sitting or kneeling position anytime!

I agree with you John, doubt this is the best position.. if not for scaring the enemy, thinking that some kind of nasty chemical field-ration-dinner weapon will be unleashed. Or shocking them, and reveal their position when laughing!
:icon107: :roflmao:

If the guy was dead.. why not lie the rifle on the chest, would reduce the shooters siluette as well

Perhaps it would work as a close range defend, eating some shotgun pellets just before todays pea dinner ;)

..and tac, dont get some ideas with ig about this position. Your mighty powerful anchovey and prune vindaloo curry would most definitely be against the Gen�¨ve convention ;)

This must be where they invented the butt stock :)

This is where don't ask don't tell started....If your Sgt. asks you to practice this position in barracks....Wouldn't happen in the old Army. Jerry Burney

I am SO glad I didn't have to go through firearm licensing in San Francisco! It was much simpler to get my CCW here in Arizona.

Pray for a small muzzle blast...

Evidently they are doing something right.

Sniper tells of long-shot success



A BRITISH sniper told yesterday how he killed an Iraqi gunman from more than half a mile. Corporal Matt Hughes, 28, a Royal Marines marksman, was ordered to â??take outâ?� an Iraqi holding back a vital advance during a fierce gale.
He pulled off an incredible feat of marksmanship by gauging perfectly the wind speed to bend the bullet to its target. The 7.62 calibre round from his L96 sniper rifle curved 56ft in the air before striking its target in the chest, killing him instantly.

Next to him, another Royal Marines sniper killed a second Iraqi at exactly the same moment.

Corporal Hughes, of the Marinesâ?? spearhead brigade patrol troop, said yesterday: â??It was a bit like David Beckham taking a free kick. I knew I only had one shot and had to get the angle exactly right. It was hot and the wind was blowing strongly from left to right as we crept up to a vantage point about 860 metres from the target.

â??I saw I had a clear shot at my man â?? he was in what he thought was a secure position, but his head and chest were exposed. He was still wearing his green Iraqi uniform and was holding the rifle heâ??d been using to shoot at Marines.

â??My training then took over and I got myself quickly, but calmly, into the perfect sniping position. We follow a set pattern, placing parts of our bodies in the optimum position, starting with the left hand followed by the elbow, legs, right hand and cheek.â?�

His sniping partner fixed a separate sight on the target, then the pair calculated the bulletâ??s trajectory by studying the movement of heat haze and dust across the arid desert landscape.

â??I was concentrating so hard that I didnâ??t have time to think about him as a person or the fact that I was about to kill him. He was just a distant shape magnified ten times in a telescopic lens. He was a target â?? the enemy.â?�

I wonder if this "sniper" has a pooch in his cross-hairs.....

Hmmm, should muzzle blast happen to coincide with biological gas emission....!
