PoorOldSpike Wrote:Incidentally I should imagine snipers have a rougher time of it nowadays if the enemy has infra-red spotting devices, because his body heat would be picked up fairly easily even if he's wearing a camo suit.
His face in particular would show up as a hot dot on infra-red making him easy to spot by night and day.
The devices are so tiny they could be fitted to the rifle of every soldier in an army..

..hehe, if you are that close to a good sniper (that image appears to be about 100m from the viewer) you are already dead ...;)
sniper colleague of mine indicated snipers are looking to take out targets around 400 -600m depending on the weather ....
ps: curse of the modern soldier - batteries. The Australian Army is looking at uniforms that have solar panels ( I kid you not) to charge the batteries operating; NAD, night vision, personal coms, platoon coms, gps etc they all currently use AA batteries and need changing every (restricted) hours... light infantry my arse ! ..:eek1:
