Snipers, precision shooters

Hou Jun told the two new recruits that they are still too far from the level of a real sniper, an excellent sniper, to learn the knowledge and know the skills of a lot of a lot, and not holding an 88 sniper, and then wear a set of ghillie suit, to the face of a bit of camouflage oil paint, can be bullishly told others that they are a sniper.

"I've always heard you guys say you're snipers when you talk to others, but I want to ask, do you know what a sniper is? Li Zheng, do you know?"

When he said this was during the sniper theory class, Hou Jun was explaining the difference between a sniper and a precision shooter.

He specifically named Li Zheng to answer.

The night before, when Li Zheng called Shao Xiaoqian, he said that he was now a sniper, making Shao Xiaoqian so envious that her eyes were filled with little stars.

It is estimated that this was heard by Hou Jun, so when explaining sniper theory today, he deliberately raised such a voice.

Hou Jun is like this.

Every time Li Zheng had some achievements and was secretly pleased with himself, Hou Jun would always come out in time to give him a pot of cold water over his head.

Li Zheng was a bit unconvinced, and asked Hou Jun with his neck in the air, "Platoon leader, what do you think is considered a sniper?"

Hou Jun waited for these words.

He hemmed and hawed, turned around and wrote two words on the blackboard - sniper, precision shooter.

Then tapping the board, he asked, "College student, do you know the difference between these two?"

Li Zheng knew about precision shooters because the topic of snipers and precision shooters had always been a hot topic on the internet, with military fans always arguing about various things.

The most common argument was to use the length of the shooting distance to differentiate between the two professions, arguing that a sniper could only be called a sniper if his shooting distance was at least 800 meters.

Precision shooters, on the other hand, usually had a control range of only between 300-600 meters, and were very different from snipers because of reasons such as firearms and training requirements.

He answered Hou Jun's question with some theoretical knowledge he knew.

But he didn't expect to be mercilessly ridiculed by Hou Jun just after he finished speaking.

"Look! Although you've put on a uniform, your level of military theoretical knowledge is merely that of a military fan."

These words nearly choked Li Zheng to death.

Hou Jun saw that Li Zheng was a bit unconvinced, so he said, "Don't think I'm intentionally belittling you yet, I'm merely telling the truth."

He pointed to those words on the blackboard and continued, "Simply using shooting distance to differentiate these three kinds of people is wrong. The theory on which the internet uses firing distance to simply divide these types of people is actually based on a definition made by the U.S. Army in 2003 in their Rifle Marksmanship Skills teaching eucalyptus - a precision shooter is a person who is assigned to a squad level unit, provides them with 300-600 meters of fire support, and is capable of achieving 70% hits when shooting at enemy alive targets at about 600 meters. targets with a 70% hit rate."

He paused and said, "This is the origin of the definition of snipers and precision shooters on the Internet, which is actually very incomplete and inaccurate. Real snipers and precision shooters, sharpshooters can not be distinguished by distance alone. To be precise, snipers receive more training in field survival and camouflage than the other two types of people, while precision shooters and sharpshooters do not need to be trained in these things. Snipers also perform reconnaissance missions in many cases, while precision shooters do not. While snipers can have a great psychological impact on enemy soldiers and officers by developing flexible sniping squares, precision shooters do not need to take on this responsibility, and their main role is simply to extend and extend the killing range and accuracy of their infantry squads."

"The sniper can also use his learned covert action skills, concealment skills, and infiltration skills to perform lead and surveillance missions, which makes the sniper more strategic than the precision shooter. While precision shooters are generally only equipped to the squad level, snipers are generally equipped to the battalion level to provide mission support to battalion-sized units with a range of control of 800 meters or more. Snipers need to be more talented and capable, it is not possible to be trained in bulk like being a precision shooter, like today our second battalion, only our sharpshooter four companies have a professional sniper class, not that other companies do not want to set up such a sniper class, but it is not easy to select qualified sniper seedlings, a battalion can be trained to train out of a class of professional snipers have been very impressive. "

"In addition, the sniper and precision shooter duties are also different in that precision shooters tend to follow the infantry squad action, while snipers in the form of small groups to carry out tasks alone, without the cooperation of the infantry squad. Precision shooters tend to use semi-automatic precision rifles, while snipers will all use specialized high-precision rotary pull-back sniper rifles."

Li Zheng asked, "Then our current 88 sniper's effective range can only be within 800 meters, and we are only precision shooters?"

Hou Jun said, "Strictly speaking, you guys are not really qualified snipers at the moment. Although you also receive camouflage and field operation training, but your equipment really can't catch up to the level of professional snipers."

"Do you guys want to become real snipers?"

He asked Zhang Jian and Li Zheng.

The two of them nodded their heads in a hurry, "I want to!"

Hou Jun said, "Then sink your hearts, take out some hard work and train well, when you get the 88 sniper in your hands and play at a good level, you will be able to go and participate in the group army's top training above, where you can touch the professional sniper equipment and learn them well, and you will be able to attempt the mission alone, and take the enemy's life from a kilometer away, and then you will brag about being a sniper to others. "

The first thing I want to say is that I'm a sniper, and I'm a sniper.

Hou Jun's teaching and training method is very effective, not only enriching Li Zheng's basic knowledge, but also timely to let the two new recruits not be too proud, and then do not forget to play chicken blood, so that people set up a higher goal of struggle.

However, no matter how much effort Hou Jun puts into training the sniper squad, he can't avoid the problem that the troops will soon be reorganized.

Just as Li Zheng and his comrades in the sharpshooter four companies every day in the sun drenched in sweat, day by day towards the goal of becoming a real "sniper", the E Division finally ushered in the unexpected but somewhat sudden military exercises.

It was a moonless night with thick clouds and silence.

It was already 12 o'clock in the night, and the soldiers had long since washed up and lay down in their own beds, when suddenly, a rush of horns broke all the quiet.

"Emergency assembly! Emergency assembly!"

In the darkness, Hou Jun was the first to wake up and issued instructions methodically in the platoon room.

"Grab your own equipment, load your backpacks, and go out for assembly in three minutes!"

Emergency assembly training had already been familiar with, not the kind of panic you put on the wrong shoes and I took the wrong hat kind of dilemma that the new recruits had.

Li Zheng quickly sorted out his backpack, put on his camouflage uniform, and followed his comrades to run out of the platoon room.

The shrill and ear-piercing sound of the horn still echoed over the camp, the entire Fourth Company, no, the entire Second Battalion, no, in fact, the entire Meng Hu Regiment, all woke up.

Standing on the company's basketball court, Li Zheng heard the same ear-piercing sound of horns coming from the direction of other companies from afar.

This was a very marvelous feeling.

In the past, many times the emergency assembly was a platoon, or even a company blowing a move by itself, to engage in once, but this time, it was the whole regiment was blown by someone else's emergency assembly.

In the ranks, veterans were already whispering, "It looks like it's going to be a pull."

"Pulling?"

The new recruits didn't react for a moment.

The veterans immediately snorted, "Silly soldier! It's just us pulling out for maneuvers!"
