no

Oh

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

Originally purposed as a DMR right?

Yee

yea, but the soviets employed snipers like we use DMRs

Yeah

Didnt Flandre build one?

Squad level right?

Yee

Certainly not two man spotter-sniper groups

I always like the concept behind the PSO1

squad level, tasked with removing machine gunners

or flanking elements

Ranging seems like a very quick process

Isn't it analogous to the M21?

Or was the m21 never implemented at a squad level?

ehhh

ranging is quick like a tank sight

the M21s initially used Leatherwood scope

which had a ballistic cam that set the range

after you "boxed" your target with the reticle

they were more or less phased out after vietnam

hence the scramble in afghanistan with the EBR chassis

Damn

I didnt realize autoranging was a thing in nam

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

Do people actually use the ebr?

that teaches you how they ran SVDs

I've heard it heavy as shit

It's been around for awhile

yea, it's 15lbs

Damn

that's with a rack grade M14

not a medium or heavy weight

every branch used them for a bit

navy was still using M14s on ships for a while

The EBR is still used I believe

But that's _navy_

yea, but the army, navy, and marines had their own

What advantage does it have over ar style systems like the g28 or sr25?
