Deadly Sniper – In 2016, a pack of wild wolves attacked a Texas cattle ranch. The cattle herder used the M700 sniper rifle, with the cooperation of night vision devices, to kill 45 wild wolves in one go.
This cattle herder is very professional, in order to completely annihilate this group of wild wolves, he deliberately used "silent bullets", this bullet has a heavier warhead, a smaller charge, and a range of only 40% of ordinary bullets, but the discharge speed is also Mach 0.8, which will not produce a "sonic boom", which is better than the noise reduction effect of the silencer!
So in the silent night sky, the bullets he shot were almost silent, and the wild wolves were knocked to the ground one after another, but they were not frightened by the gunshots, but just stayed in place and waited for death. After 18 minutes, the wolves were wiped out, and none of them escaped.
This seemingly classic night duel is actually just a small scene of sniper battle, and those professionally trained snipers are much more efficient than this cattle herder.
Because in real battles, snipers rarely act alone. He would form a group with the observers. Among them, the observer is responsible for measuring parameters such as air pressure, wind speed, temperature, humidity, etc., and according to the situation on the scene, find out high-value targets, and then list the killing order.
And the shooter only needs to adjust the shooting parameters according to the information, pull the trigger. Therefore, the observer is generally a more skilled and experienced sniper. When the two were retreating, it was also the shooter who crawled in front, and the observer hand was responsible for breaking off and cleaning up the traces left by the two.
In modern warfare, the longest sniper record is 3450 meters, set in March 2017 by a sniper from Canada's Second Joint Task Force. The most famous is a sniper codenamed "Juba" in the Iraqi guerrillas, and no one knows his real nationality, age and appearance.
Juba's weapon is an SVD semi-automatic sniper rifle, the basic principle of which is the same as the AK-47 assault rifle, both with gas-guided automata. This gives the SVD a killing range of 3800 meters! However, if the target person is more than 2,000 meters away, he will hear a sharp gunshot before the bullet arrives, and then take dodging action. In order to avoid scaring snakes, Juba generally controls the attack distance within 1,000 meters
Since February 2005, he has been frequenting the Baghdad area, attacking U.S. military patrols and posting video footage online after each ambush. According to information released by the US military, 712 people died under guerrilla sniper rifles in the seven-year security war.
"Juba" claimed that he killed 560 American troops, and it is unknown whether this achievement is wet, but his accurate marksmanship did make the American troops fearful and caused a great psychological shadow, and the commander once dared not send patrols to the streets. Even on March 6, 2005, Major General Dulemi, commander of the ace division of the pro-American Iraqi Army, was shot in the head by "Juba" while patrolling the streets of Baghdad.
It can be seen that the role of snipers in modern warfare is becoming more and more important, and an excellent sniper can not only determine the victory or defeat of a battle, but may even affect the direction of a battle.
