Soldier Assault Scout Vanguard

Chapter 463: Sniper Master
463 Sniper Master
Su Qi attaches great importance to helicopter sniping.

On the one hand, his previous life experience told him that this thing is very important; on the other hand, his voyage experience also told him that this thing is really very important!

So he had already thought about it in his heart, and when he returned to the Black Dragon Commando, he must do a good job in the training of this subject.

But how did he know that he saw an invention from Yang Rui and the others that made his eyes shine, and the surprise in his heart can be imagined.

"Captain Yang, can I try?" Su Qi couldn't wait immediately.

"Of course!" Yang Rui nodded with a smile after listening.

He winked at a team member next to him, their sniper Luo Xing. That guy understood and immediately went to get his sniper rifle.

After hearing the conversation between Su Qi and Yang Rui, other people gathered around together. Obviously, everyone was also very curious about Su Qi's sniper level and wanted to know.

"I didn't expect that, so he is a sniper!"

"This guy is a sniper? Why doesn't it look like it?"

"Su Qi is a sniper? No, didn't they say he was a scout?"

The members of the special operations team looked at me and I looked at you, with various thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone resolutely put down the things in their hands, and they all surrounded Su Qi with a tacit understanding.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the heat that had scorched everyone for a day gradually subsided, and the cool wind was blowing from a distance, which was cool and very comfortable. Everyone is ladylike, dignified and elegant, the vast sea is sparkling, seabirds are soaring leisurely, and several warships painted with the navy logo are steadily moving forward.

In such a gentle and lovely evening, on the warship where Su Qi was, the members of the special warfare team were a little excited. Everyone wanted to see what kind of sniper level Su Qi was.

Sniper Luo Xing rushed into his exclusive weapon arsenal while running and screaming.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get-out-"

He shouted excitedly and excitedly.

Seeing Luo Xing like this, other officers and soldiers in the warship felt a little strange.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"Isn't it a brain convulsion?"

Everyone is very strange.

In everyone's eyes, Luo Xing is a sniper, a calm person who never changes his face when Mount Tai collapses, and has always been moody, but who knows, at this moment this guy is yelling and It's called, so many people are very curious.

Someone grabbed Luo Xing.

"Luo Xing, what's the matter? What happened?"

"Let go of me, Team Su is going to perform sniping, I have to give him the sniper rifle!"

"What? Su Qi is going to perform a sniper attack?"

When the others heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, and then their eyes widened, as if they had seen an alien.

"Suzy? Suzy is a sniper?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Soon, people who happened not to be on duty at the moment and had nothing to do rushed towards the front deck together.

"Let's go!"

"Go and watch Su Qi snipe!"

"Brothers, let's go, watch the excitement, and watch Su Qi snipe!"

So, within a short while, dozens of people flocked to the front deck together, or watched from a distance from other places.

In the end, even several officers of the headquarters put down their work, stood in the command cabin, condescending, and watched with great interest.

Someone also picked up a telescope.

foredeck.

Luo Xing handed Su Qi a sniper rifle.

"Captain Su, this is my sniper rifle!"

Su Qi reached out to take it, looked at it, and his eyes lit up: "Luo Xing, your sniper rifle is not bad!"

In the movie "Operation Red Sea", Luo Xing didn't have many roles, but he left a deep impression on people!

In the film, Luo Xing, as the starting member of the team, was accidentally injured during a mission and his spine was punctured, ending his life in the army.

From persistence to tenacity, the actor Wang Yanlin portrayed the image of Luo Xing as a responsible and passionate man.

Driven and capable, he is more handsome and stern than before, with a firm and steady expression in his eyes that cannot be hidden.

Played for 10 minutes but has a sense of presence in the entire film for 138 minutes. First, because of the good control of the characters, it left a deep impression on the audience and became a key figure in the film.

The second is that Luo Xing lives in Gu Shun's lines from beginning to end, becoming the best sniper in everyone's mind, and the character who needs the most imagination.

"You can follow Luo Xing to show that you have some skills."

"He's the best sniper I've ever seen."

"Luo Xing won't choose the wrong person!"

It can be said that Gu Shun and Li Dao, the life and death partners, have always fought "with Luo Xing".

So Su Qi still admires Luo Xing very much.

However, his previous appreciation was obtained from movies, but now, after seeing the sniper rifle that Luo Xing handed him, he really felt it.

What Luo Xing handed him was a [-] sniper, but it was not an ordinary [-] sniper, but a [-] sniper modified and polished by Luo Xing himself.

In domestic military circles, the 88 sniper rifle has a special nickname, called the anti-hostage sniper rifle.

This title originated from a law enforcement operation in 2011, when a special police sniper in a certain city lost his hand while handling a hostage-taking case; the hostage was shot in the head, but the criminal’s neck was only scratched, and the action was completely useless hinder.Shocked by the courage and force displayed by the police, the criminal chose to raise his hand and surrender, and the hostage was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Objectively speaking, in this erroneous operation, the lack of performance of the Type 88 sniper rifle itself was only a secondary and not decisive factor;

The real reason is that the special police training in many cities in China was not scientific and rigorous enough back then, and lacked sufficient predictability, referenceability, and enforceability for actual actions.

88狙的精度本身不高，按照军方的出版社在2000年公开出版的《轻武器射击手册》中所附射表的数据；88狙在100米距离上，高低散布密集界为5厘米，方向散布密集界为6厘米。根据散布密集界与散布圆半径的换算公式，88狙的百米散布圆直径是18.6厘米。

In other words, the actual accuracy of the 88 sniper is 6.7MOA, and the 100-meter guarantee (2% hit) hits the table tennis racket. If the requirement is reduced to 1 shots and 1 shot, it can hit the central 3/[-] area of ​​the diameter of the table tennis racket.

这个精度也是为何在《杀伤单个目标（命中1发）所需弹药数量表》中，88狙的要求是单个目标，100米内1枪1中，100米外2到3枪1中，500米外不做要求的原因。

The standard requirements of modern standard sniper rifles are generally better than 1MOA, ensuring (90% hit) a range of the size of a dollar coin at 100-100 meters; in anti-hostage shooting, this means the human brainstem or high spinal cord .Once hit, the criminal will be instantly disabled and dead, unable to cause serious consequences.

In the process of urban law enforcement, due to the complex environment; on the one hand, the shooter has a lot of cover, and on the other hand, he pursues as accurate as possible. In fact, the shooting distance is very short.

Statistics from the United States show that snipers shoot law enforcement with an average range of about 65 meters.

Since the shooting distance of the shooter was very close at that time - far less than 65 meters, the accuracy of the 88 sniper itself was no longer enough to cause such a large hit error.

In fact, all charges cannot be entirely blamed on the 88 sniper. The key to the mistake is that the shooter and the on-site command personnel lack systematic theoretical understanding and practical training in shooting in complex environments—especially shooting through media; The tactical decision of glass shooting failed to predict the large deflection of the bullet after penetrating a certain thickness of glass, which led to accidental injury.

The hardness of glass is very high. After a bullet penetrates a certain thickness of glass, no matter what the shooting angle is, it will deflect in a direction perpendicular to the glass.However, the bullets are different, the shooting distance angle is different, the glass type and size are different, and the effect and deflection degree of the bullet penetrating are also different.

Especially for small caliber bullets, the results of shooting glass are particularly unpredictable.

At present, Western snipers generally believe that such shooting requires a sniper rifle with a caliber of 7.62 mm or more, and it is best to use a vertical angle design, or double-shot shooting-the first shot breaks the glass, and the second shot kills the criminal.

In normal training, law enforcement snipers not only have to conduct a large number of live ammunition tests according to the local conditions, so as to know what they know; they still have to consider very carefully whether to use penetrating shooting tactics
In the development of law enforcement/anti-terrorism sniping after World War II, the development of Western countries in this area has not been smooth sailing; the experience summary of shooting through glass and the formulation of training subjects have also been exchanged for a lot of blood.

Domestic criticism in this regard is that several years before the accident, the Armed Forces-Police-Special-Police-School-Academy translated the textbook written by the US Marine Corps sniper instructor John Prest, the Chinese version of "Advanced US Army The Sniper Training Manual, on pages 166-177, has a dedicated chapter describing such situations in detail, with repeated warnings and recommendations.

There was a disconnect between the theoretical system and training design of the upstream and downstream units, which led to the failure of operations and the injury of hostages. This is very inappropriate.

However, there are some deficiencies in the eight-eight sniper itself, and no one can deny this.

As soon as Su Qi saw Luo Xing's [-] sniper, he understood one thing in his heart. Luo Xing had a very deep understanding of this gun, which was deeper than many experts.

Moreover, the most powerful point is that he made changes in some small places. These changes are not big, but they are enough to raise the power of Ba Ba Sniper by a level.

"Tsk tsk, Luo Xing, you can—"

"Luo Xing, your level—there are few people in China who can match you!"

"As soon as I saw this gun, I knew that your ability is stronger than the best snipers of our Black Dragon Commando!"

The more Su Qi looked at it, the more surprised he became, the more he loved this sniper rifle, the more he praised Luo Xing.

Luo Xing didn't expect much from Su Qi at first, but when he heard his words, his eyes lit up immediately.

Hearing Su Qi's praise, he was a little embarrassed, and smiled: "Usually thinking about it and changing it, Team Su laughed at it!"

Su Qi admired it for a while, then picked up Luo Xing's [-] sniper, and lay down on the equipment they invented.

He wants to give it a try.

[Ding——You prepare carefully, snipe with your heart, and want to show off your skills in front of your comrades and give everyone enough confidence. Your sniper ability will be permanently upgraded to the master level, and your helicopter sniper ability will be permanently improved to the master level. The ability to cooperate with observers tacitly , permanently upgraded to master level]

Hearing this voice, Suzi was startled.

Sniper ability permanently increased to master level?

Helicopter sniper ability permanently upgraded to master level?

The system is really generous!

"Su team? Su team!"

When Su Qi was in a daze, he suddenly heard Luo Xing's voice, and he reacted with a jolt.

"Su team?" Luo Xing looked at Su Qi a little strangely.

"It's okay, I took a short errand just now, okay, let's start!"

"Captain Su, let me introduce my gun to you!" Luo Xing said.

"Thank you, but no need, I already know!" Su Qi nodded with a smile, then got up on his stomach and started to prepare.

Luo Xing was going to explain in detail at first, but after seeing this scene, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything more. He just turned his head and glanced at another team member. That team member understood and immediately operated the small Drones, fly drones into the air.

Su Qi's shooting target was pulled into the air 600 meters away by the small drone.

"Captain Su, the target is in place, you can start shooting!" Luo Xing kept looking at the small drone with a telescope, and seeing that everything was ready, he turned his head and said to Su Qi.

boom--

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of sniper rifle shots rang out.

In the instant of fire, Li Dong, who was in charge of the observation, said in a trembling voice: "Hit... hit!"

hit?
Luo Xing looked at Su Qi in disbelief.

Su Qi stood up, unloaded the magazine, pulled the bolt, closed the safety, and then returned the gun to Luo Xing: "Luo Xing, this gun is really good, it's a good gun, your level is really high !"

But Luo Xing was dumbfounded, and didn't reach out to take the gun. After a few seconds, he looked at Su Qi: "Captain Su, how did you do it?"

"It's nothing, think more and practice more!"

"Su team, I have fired thousands of bullets, but why is it not as good as yours? Su team, your helicopter sniper is really too powerful, can you teach me?"

"Of course, we will have plenty of time to discuss together and communicate with each other!"

"Captain Su, teach me some experience now!" Luo Xing said impatiently upon hearing this.

Su Qi froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then let's communicate together now, I think that if you want to improve the level of helicopter sniping, you must first have a certain degree of understanding of helicopter sniping.

In my opinion, unlike traditional sniper tactics, helicopter sniper tactics have a new definition of how to maintain the stability of shooting posture.

You also know that because the helicopter's engine and transmission gearbox will continuously generate high-frequency vibrations during operation, even if the aircraft is in a hovering state, the people on board can still feel the large vibration that makes the teeth chatter.

In order to obtain unprecedented mobility, snipers need to spend more energy on overcoming aircraft vibration interference. This kind of multi-tasking shooting state is undoubtedly a new challenge for snipers who are used to shooting from a fixed position . "

Luo Xing nodded and sighed: "Yes, this is the biggest challenge of helicopter sniping! I haven't been able to completely solve it until now, I can only barely overcome it!"

Suzie also nodded.

He is now a master sniper, and he has a more thorough and in-depth understanding of this characteristic.

He continued: "Another problem that helicopter sniper tactics need to face is the powerful downwash airflow generated by the main rotor. From the perspective of ballistics, when the bullet leaves the barrel, it has the highest initial velocity and the strongest kinetic energy. Most of the guns use large-caliber heavy bullets, so the stability will not be affected too much.

In addition, the influence range of the helicopter downwash is limited, and the impact time of the ballistic trajectory is relatively short.

But for a sniper who is thousands of miles away, if he wants to shoot a target hundreds of meters away from an unstable platform, he cannot ignore the influence of the downwash.

If it is a medium-sized general-purpose helicopter, the influence of the downwash airflow is relatively limited. If it is replaced by a heavy-duty transport helicopter, the intensity and range of the downwash airflow will be greatly increased. Just maintaining a stable shooting posture on the helicopter requires a lot of energy. and time.The problem becomes more complex when one considers the necessary ballistic corrections for the relative position of the target.

Although there was shooting training for moving targets in previous sniper courses, the premise was that the shooter was stationary, so the main consideration was the amount of correction required for the target to move.However, when sniping on a helicopter, even if the pilot is top-notch, it is impossible to completely offset the influence of turbulence or wind speed. Snipers often need to face all-round displacement or shaking of up, down, left, and right.In this case, the sniper’s correction must take into account the direction, speed, and height of the sniper’s own movement, and the relative movement direction, speed, and height of the target before arriving at an effective shooting solution. This is undoubtedly much more complicated. "

"In addition, although the sniper team can coordinate the heading, speed and altitude with the pilot, it is impossible for the pilot to do so [-]% because he has to consider the surrounding terrain, features and weather conditions.

If the target location is in a combat zone, the helicopter also needs to make tactical maneuvers from time to time to avoid ground artillery fire.

What's worse, because the stability of the helicopter is unpredictable, most of the sniper's error estimation can only rely on experience. After estimating the correction amount, the helicopter must be fired at the most stable moment, just like in the basic shooting tutorial In the same way that it is required to breathe steadily in order to pull the trigger, this requires the shooter to find out the common rhythm between himself and the helicopter.

On the other hand, because helicopters generally have a commanding height advantage, the potential energy advantage generated by gravity can offset part of the ballistic interference caused by the downwash airflow of the main rotor, and this also makes the snipers need to appropriately reduce the Correction made for ballistic drop. "

Smiling, Su Qi continued: "Although helicopter sniping has many difficulties to overcome, but because this change can greatly increase the mission flexibility and combat scope of the sniper team, we special forces still have to do our best to work hard. Overcome various inherent disadvantages of using helicopters as a sniper platform.

I think that since the stability of the helicopter is closely related to the sniper hit rate, it is very important to choose a suitable helicopter as a combat platform. Based on my experience, I think our current helicopter is very suitable as a sniper platform .This helicopter not only has enough internal space, but also has good stability.In addition, the size of the sliding door of the cabin is also large enough, and the side door of the cabin is installed in an independent position, which will not affect the aiming and shooting of the sniper team. "

"In the early days of our voyages, because there was no suitable gun platform on the helicopter, we were used to shooting with guns in a sitting or kneeling position.

Later, some people tried to use backpacks and sandbags to build temporary support for guns, but the problem is that during the flight, backpacks and sandbags often slip off, and when the cabin door is open, backpacks and sandbags need to be reinforced, which is very difficult to use. inconvenient.

Later, we got inspiration from the U.S. military and switched to elastic gun straps and paracords to make temporary gun hangers.

The advantage of this system is that the gun strap has a certain degree of elasticity, which can offset part of the vibration when the helicopter is flying, thereby indirectly increasing the stability of the shooter when holding the gun.The suspension method does not occupy the floor space of the cabin, and there is no need to worry about flying everywhere when relying on the bracket during severe vibrations.

More importantly, snipers no longer need to spend effort to adjust backpacks or sandbags, and can choose the shooting angle more freely to cope with the changing helicopter flight movements.

But in actual combat, we also found that the suspension sometimes blocks the field of view, especially when the sniper uses the scope, part of the field of view will become a blind spot.

So we can switch to a simpler method, that is, hang an elastic belt horizontally on the hatch, and directly use the gun as a support on the belt, which saves the time and effort of making additional suspensions. Each helicopter can be used as a sniper platform as long as it is hung with an elastic belt. Secondly, there will be nothing blocking the front of the shooter's scope, which reduces the impact of shooting caused by blind spots in the field of vision. "

Hearing what Su Qi said, Luo Xing's eyes couldn't help but become bright. He nodded heavily, deeply convinced of Su Qi's experience.

Su Qi glanced at Luo Xing and said with a smile: "However, helicopter sniper tactics are not a panacea. Although there is support, they are fired on an unstable platform after all, so generally the maximum effective range is about 600 meters, even with a 12.7 mm sniper rifle, the farthest cannot exceed 1000 meters.

And in order to reduce the risk, when performing helicopter sniper missions, most of the pilots will hover at a certain distance first, and then fly into the range until the sniper team calibrates the target and determines the entry angle, and requires the sniper team to open fire in the shortest time to reduce The amount of time an aircraft is exposed to ground anti-aircraft fire.

Therefore, for helicopter sniper tactics, whether the crew can fully cooperate with the sniper team is more important than superb shooting skills, because only the two sides cooperate tacitly to achieve the best balance in the ever-changing shooting parameters.If the spirit of teamwork is lacking, this tactic may only be reduced to flamboyance.

So I suggest that you can get on the plane to practice more, not only to practice skills, but also to cooperate with the crew, what do you think! "

"Okay, I'll listen to Team Su!" Luo Xing nodded hastily.

Now he admires Su Qi so much, so he accepts Su Qi's arrangement [-]%, he is convinced and willing to accept it!
