Target shooting at 3-4 km is a reality

52
One of the hardest elements in small arms business is accurate long-range shooting. Of course, what weapon uses a sniper, but the role of the person himself, his skills, his professionalism, his endurance is much more important.

Target shooting at 3-4 km is a reality




One of the iconic competitions, which is held to identify the best of the best in the field of aimed shooting at extremely long distances, is the King of Two Miles tournament. The name already speaks of what distances snipers can deal with.

On the Lazarev Tactical channel, an interview with the winner of these competitions Andrei Ryabinsky is presented. This person is the owner of a seemingly unimaginable record - a shot at a distance in 4210 m. It turns out that this is reality.

Andrey Ryabinsky:

In such competitions extra-class shooters participate. They were held in America, several times in Europe, and now they are held for the first time in Russia.

The sniper says that at the second stage of the competition, shooters fire at targets at a distance from 2400 to 3300 m. Andrei Ryabinsky with a smile says that initially the organizers in the Moscow region could not even find a place for holding competitions for aimed ultra-long range shooting.

        “!!! We set a new world record for sniping in the range of an accurate shot! 4210 m !!! The size of the target that you had to hit is 1x1 m. An amazing distance! A bullet flies at such a distance of 13 seconds. Before us, this record belonged to the Americans. For such a shot, it is necessary to take into account a huge number of factors: wind, atm. pressure, derivation, temperature and much more, including even the rotation of the earth.

          There was a time students at the military departments of a number of universities solved such problems without calculators, only with a slide rule. Many still remember their goals for ICBMs in the United States. And then a 4200 m bullet in a sheet of 1x1 m paper. Coriolis force, yeah. There is no real use for such shots. Moreover, everything will depend on the wind.

            It’s clear, as one of the hypothetical factors Yes but I believe that such shots are a certain stage in creating the conditions and opportunities for the effective use of sniper weapons in the absence of a clear front line separating the warring parties or the actions of units in isolation from the main forces.
            And I omit the psychological effect of sniper fire on the enemy.

          13 seconds, the sound from the shot will fly. A bullet will fly 2 ~ 3 times faster. But there’s no sense anyway. A person will leave during this time from the aiming point at a distance of up to 8 meters (at right angles to the trajectory of the bullet) recourse

            WHAT A SNIPER NEEDS AT A BATTLE OPERATION High-ranking leaders are far from the needs of an ordinary sniper. The presence of a rifle with optics, a camouflage suit and ammunition, many of them consider it sufficient to complete the task. In practice, this is not so. Let's try to summarize briefly what a sniper needs in a combat operation (on average, since the elements of equipment change depending on the task. Portable radio. During the counter-terrorist operation, the sniper monitors all changes occurring at the captured object, and reports to the commander of the sniper group, as well as keeps in touch with his partner. In the field, the sniper is in constant communication with the cover group and partner, if he works in tandem. (I will not forget how, at a hospital in Budennovsk, a senior MVD official, looking around the corner from the rear of our positions, loudly asked: “Comrade sniper, what are you observing?” - while we were lying a few dozen meters from the enemy ... Then he was diplomatically taken aside, explaining that a sniper actually needs to be contacted via a radio station. This seems to have been a revelation to the general). The vest is unloading. Various modifications of these products are more than enough. There is a choice. But I can’t help but notice for the manufacturers - it’s very unfortunate that the discharge vests are not released from the aramid fabric so that they protect against splinters. This is true for snipers, because in rare cases they have the ability to work in body armor. Folding frame and small sapper blade. Required for equipment hidden position, as already mentioned. Waterproof poncho or raincoat tent. To protect the sniper from the wind, precipitation, both when extending and lying, for the equipment of the aforementioned shelter. Manual periscope and binoculars. Comments are unnecessary Gun with PBS. It is necessary as a last resort, if a sniper is detected by the enemy. Compass (no comment). Grenades RGO and RGN. It is advisable to each pair. It is also worth having with you about the same number of mines - signal and combat. They are necessary in case of covering the exit and for installation 200-300 meters from the place of lying, especially if you have to work offline. Flares. The application is known - for calling lights, if a sniper is surrounded, for identifying himself in certain situations, etc. It is optimal to take two rockets to the exit. Smoke bombs. Need (a pair of pieces) the length of the smoke in case of departure. Survival combat knife, screwdriver (I had it on a knife). Of course, you need to have a first aid kit. It is also very advisable to use yellow or orange filters that are worn on the scope (they are included in the PSO-1 kit) in bright sunny weather, they will be less tired of eyes. To overcome the overcoming of general body fatigue, I can recommend tincture from Eleutherococcus. For example, during operations in Afghanistan, we added 10 grams of this liquid to one mug, and drowsiness was completely removed. All that I could talk about. - These are just some of the sniper experiences. In general, this topic can be called immense. If only because, in my deep conviction, only a professional can be a real sniper. Corresponding should be its equipment.

              1) thermally insulating clothing with a heating function - because the sniper lies and does not move, and therefore there are frequent cases of illness and injury on this soil, well, or disruption of operations due to the fact that the sniper decided to warm up / warm up.
              2) double thermo-insulating cloak for protection from thermal imagers and heat preservation - one for laying one on top, or both for the top but for two positions.
              3) The presence of loops, staples and ties on the ammunition for weaving camouflage - the classic "mask robes" for a sniper in war are not applicable due to the fact that the texture and color of flora can be very different even on the same LDP, which is why the classic mask the robe will mask well in one area and деdisguise in another. In the case of "wicker" camouflage coats, this problem is solved on the spot, due to the interlacing of the camouflage. Plus, weaving can mask not only the fighter, but also the position and passages. The only thing all this needs to be learned in practice, and not in theory.

              It is quite real, but these are not even units, but a unit. What does she decide? One American sniper in Vietnam slaughtered an entire Vietcong battalion, this was really the work of a professional. And if a super-lone from four kilometers kills the general, it will not change anything - they will put another one. This is not for a "serious" war, but most likely for terrorists, or their antipode, the Anti-Terror special forces, at the front, such a super one and from such a distance will not shoot much.
