^

2019-01-28 07:35:21 UTC  

Fair enough

2019-01-28 07:35:34 UTC  

it's actually a fairly light rifle as well

2019-01-28 07:35:42 UTC  

surprising when you first handle one

2019-01-28 07:35:43 UTC  

Is there a chance if parts kits once they adopt the 308?

2019-01-28 07:35:48 UTC  

Of*

2019-01-28 07:35:48 UTC  

hahahahahahahahaha

2019-01-28 07:35:53 UTC  

no

2019-01-28 07:35:56 UTC  

Oh

2019-01-28 07:35:56 UTC  

Saying they're sniper rifles might be giving it a little too much credit

2019-01-28 07:36:14 UTC  

Originally purposed as a DMR right?

2019-01-28 07:36:19 UTC  

Yee

2019-01-28 07:36:26 UTC  

yea, but the soviets employed snipers like we use DMRs

2019-01-28 07:36:33 UTC  

Yeah

2019-01-28 07:36:45 UTC  

Didnt Flandre build one?

2019-01-28 07:36:47 UTC  

Squad level right?

2019-01-28 07:36:51 UTC  

Yee

2019-01-28 07:37:15 UTC  

Certainly not two man spotter-sniper groups

2019-01-28 07:37:19 UTC  

I always like the concept behind the PSO1

2019-01-28 07:37:43 UTC  

squad level, tasked with removing machine gunners

2019-01-28 07:37:47 UTC  

or flanking elements

2019-01-28 07:37:52 UTC  

Ranging seems like a very quick process

2019-01-28 07:38:53 UTC  

Isn't it analogous to the M21?

2019-01-28 07:39:08 UTC  

Or was the m21 never implemented at a squad level?

2019-01-28 07:39:27 UTC  

ehhh

2019-01-28 07:39:47 UTC  

ranging is quick like a tank sight

2019-01-28 07:40:34 UTC  

the M21s initially used Leatherwood scope

2019-01-28 07:40:46 UTC  

which had a ballistic cam that set the range

2019-01-28 07:40:59 UTC  

after you "boxed" your target with the reticle

2019-01-28 07:41:39 UTC  

they were more or less phased out after vietnam

2019-01-28 07:41:57 UTC  

hence the scramble in afghanistan with the EBR chassis

2019-01-28 07:42:21 UTC  

Damn

2019-01-28 07:42:39 UTC  

I didnt realize autoranging was a thing in nam

2019-01-28 07:42:52 UTC  

as far as the SVD goes, you can actually take a training course run by a former spetz SVD gunner

2019-01-28 07:42:58 UTC  

Do people actually use the ebr?

2019-01-28 07:43:01 UTC  

that teaches you how they ran SVDs

2019-01-28 07:43:09 UTC  

I've heard it heavy as shit

2019-01-28 07:43:14 UTC  

It's been around for awhile

2019-01-28 07:43:29 UTC  

yea, it's 15lbs

2019-01-28 07:43:36 UTC  

Damn

2019-01-28 07:43:43 UTC  

that's with a rack grade M14
