Sniper Artillery

I don't see any mention of a stock on the card. Maybe I missed something. The photo does not show the so called flash supressor very well. Maybe it is a bore brush. Many people don't know what a bore brush is and may confuse it with a flash supressor. I would not want to shoot this gun with a bore brush screwed on it. The card only says that it comes with a snail drum.

While I have seen large caliber pistols with scopes on them that are used for deer hunting in southern Michigan, where rifles cannot legally be used, I cannot understand puting a scope on a smaller caliber pistol. Pistols are essentially short range weapons and so I cannot understand why a sniper would use a 9mm pistol with a scope. Every sniper that I talked to always bragged about their rifles. In Nam and in Korea, snipers had a choice of weapons that they used.

The only legit and unusual accessory to a LP-08 that I have ever seen was a mount with a brass flash light that Doug Smith of FGS once bought. It mounted on the underside of the barrel and would have had some wires running from it to a battery pack that would have been on a belt. Doug did not have the battery pack.
