Sniper gear questions

a bluetooth for a cell phone, you call your pals onj your team at once (so long as they have headsets) and voila you got easy communications to your team

WT F....you use your cell phone?......i don't even want to get started on this.....anyway, about the Cavaly Elite II i think its great, i don't really have a wire problem, i mean only 2 wires. i think thats the best piece of equipment for any role. of coarse you need a radio to use it with. and aren't we all getting a little off topic? Going way back to the original conversation....Just stick to cammies light weight gear, you don't need to carry much. As in like a battle belt, maybe a harness for it. and a radio with a good headset NOT BLUE TOOTH! thats my advice. if your good you'll lay low, be quite and hunt. take the shot only when necessary. you can't really be that awesome bad ass you see in the movies...which i hate because everyone gets weird ideas in their heads about snipers.

but what if the guy you need to call isnt in your 5? i mean I got Barkley and the chance of him making it out to a game are as likley as him driving sober, so that only leaves me with 4 people to put in, plus you can only change it once a month!! Or what if you say dont get cell phone service seeing as most of the games are in the midle of the desert.....

I think it's a creative idea, but it definitely won't work as well as a radio.

You guys don't need to be so harsh..........  He's trying to help, no need for you guys to shoot him down.

na but it beats using your hands for a radio and they're pretty small, and with some electric tape you can rig it to the inside of your mask if you use 'em

My radios are handsfree?

So I had a question about gear pertaining to snipers. I will be getting a ghillie suit soon and was wondering what you guys recommend in the way of either going jacket/pants, or poncho.....also, what kind of gear set up is typically carried under the suit? I was looking at going with a battle belt , that way i could put all the pouches to either side and not interfere with crawling or access ability.  Any advice or tips would be awesome.... thanks

im a sniper myself, all i use is one of those older military L.B.Vs u can get from a military surplus.....as for the camo, and ghillie effect, i cut branches off trees and shrubs, etc tht are at the field im playing and tape them onto my sniper rifle. I also take some grass, weeds, etc. from the playing field and place it in my helmet band or in the loops in my boonie hat. thats all i need and i was invisible at 50 feet,   really no need for a ghillie suit.

Pictures of your ghillie setup?

i stripped the branches and all off my rifle so i could give it a paint job, and so my room didn't smell like rotting pie tree....lol   as for the pictures the only one tht i have is ono my cell phone and i have no idea how to get it onto the computer, so ill go out and stick some braches like i usually do and get them on here asap.

Hey guys,

I was reading this at work and our two Snipers in our Platoon over read this. They wanted to add thier gear for real life (in Iraq) for y'alls info.

As good as ghille suits are in a wooded enviroment like Georgia, (and northern AZ-sup.) We never use them. In the desert and urban enviroments, a snipers best idea is just to stay in the open. Its the last place everyone looks. As for our gear, our SOP (standard operating procedures) states "full kit will be worn at all times." That means IBA (armor), ACH (helmet), and at least 3 qts of water.

The only time we take that off is once we are in position, and right before we either take the shot, or right after we are secured with another platoon of riflemen. Hope this helps your buddies, and gives them a general idea.

o you mean like the handful of people who said, where cammies, and light weight gear......and by a handful i mean the majority of the real airsofters here....which you like to refer to as "posers" because they criticize you for your stupidity and lack of knowledge and professionalism to this hobby.
