I'm not understanding the whole sniper rifle thing.......

You have to put your eye so close to the scope; wouldn't the recoil knock your eye out? Or is there hardly any recoil on those.......this has always baffled me.

In my army service I had a rifle who was 4.2kg without ammo, and that was more than heavy (and clumsy) enough for me.

Aint that bad, in the danish army the Infantry LMG they use is an 11-kilo one. But I'd say thats the limit of whats fun to carry around.

well... ofcourse there is a small recoil on them also...but not much.. depends on how you use it and what type of rifle you use..


and with the different weight things...hmm...yeah some are heavy some are not...just work out more perhaps..;)

if these guns don't have much recoil, why doesn't someone design some badass gun that has super accuracy and like no recoil.

Another Question: Do is there any advantage to using bolt action as opposed to semi?

Regarding the sniper rifles, then theres a reason the part of the scope you put your eye into is made of rubber.

Theres also a reason you hold it hard against your shoulder when you fire it.

But when I was in the army I still saw recruits exit the firing range with bleeding eyebrows after playing with weapons, especially with the Heckler & Koch 7.26mm rifles, since they have a lot of recoil.

sa 80
ok, its the only rifle i used except .22 cadet rifles. but iam 20, a student in the uk and have only been in the cadets...

all i can say is that the sa 80's design just felt right, light enough, x3 sight as standard making it quite damn accurate for an assault rifle. also the 'bull pup' (spelling?) degign, (cartrage behind the trigger) just feels betta than the standard layout of a rifle.

just my 2cents

if they have got the reliability sorted out on the latest version then it has to be concidered as one of the best.

Yea... its has reliability problems, you can't pour mud into it without getting functionality problems... Any colt rifle will keep shooting, even in a mud bath..

7.26mm?

I got a slightly bad cheek after shooting with the HK G3.. Probably becouse I got quite long arms, and should have gotten a longer "elbow part".

lol zhukov

i guess i wasn't thinking about bracing the rifle against your shoulder....duh <someone smack me>

sure automatics are nice, but i prefer shotguns :) your aim doesn't have to be so good to shoot someone with those

Wtf good will a shotgun do you if you spot an enemy at 300 meters and he has a rifle, and he spots you as well?
