I don't think so...at least it doesn't sound familiar.The first film would have made finding the sniper a lot easier on this forum. -> < From a place you cannot see comes a sound you cannot hear. >
Wasn't that your thread Moot ?

Do you know if there's training videos available that the red army used for their snipers? I thought they were particularly damaging during the battle of Stalingrad.

I'm curious as to how many people here have ever actually shot long distance. By "long" I'm thinking a quarter mile or more. I'm instructing this afternoon on a short range (25m) mostly 22s, a couple of ARs and one 9mm carbine. We no long teach full distance to anyone who is not an instructor for obvious reasons, but it's not as easy as you might think. Even after calculating your drop and windage the steady hold factors are something that takes a lot of practice. I head shot at 500 yards would require a steady hold of about 1/60th of a degree of movement both vertically and horizontally, maintaining the position adjusted for drift, drop and recoil. Nobody is going to become a sniper by watching a couple of videos.
BTW those rifles in the pics, the ones the Russians are using are 90/31 Mosin Nagants. My distance rifle is a highly modified version of one of those. If you,'ve ever spent any time behind one you'd have a much deeper appreciation for what these guys do.
Every Marine has to qualify on the Known Range (KR) with his service rifle. The last stage is 500 meters/ 500 yards. The last time I requalified it was with the M-14 and I put 9 out of 10 in the black #5 ring and 1 in the #4 ring.
Before the M-1 Garand was adopted during WW ll, Marines use to qualify out to 600 yards with the 03 Springfield.
You have to remember that this is with open iron sights, not rifle scopes.
If you enter Camp Pendleton from the Las Pulgas gate and drive a few miles along the road you'll find an old 1,000 yard rifle range covered with brush and weeds. This range might have been used for training snipers during WW ll ???
Some impressive shooting there. I'm relegated to scopes myself for distances past about 50 yards due to astigmatism. In Appleseed we use the old Army Qualifying Test out to 400 yards with reduced sized targets for 25m with 22s. This weekend I had the pleasure of evaluating an old Savage Anschutz Model 10 A (22lr) single shot bolt action. I was shooting 25m and putting 3 shots in a single hole consistently. A really impressive rifle. They were imported from Germany and were available in hardware stores for $59.95 when they first got here. They were imported from 1968 until 1981. For full distance I shoot a highly modified 1932 Mosin Nagant. I shoot with guys who are shooting 500 yards with ARs and M1As and some Garands at 500 yards open sights. I'm honored to be on the line with them.
