Posted April 11, 201015 yr A TALIBAN sniper has shot dead up to seven British soldiers during a five-month killing spree in a town regarded as the most dangerous place in Afghanistan. The 600 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, the Rifles, stationed at Sangin, fear that the gunman is stalking his prey for days on end and may have been trained in neighbouring Iran or by Al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan. The Taliban hitman demonstrated his skill last month when he picked off a British sniper who was on the lookout for his insurgent rival. Three of his suspected victims have been army sharpshooters, including one killed by a single bullet between the eyes. “Their sniper is giving us real problems and we’ve not yet worked out how to take him down,” said a senior British Army officer who recently visited the town in Helmand province. Source: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle7094300.ece My problem with this report is that the media all over the world always reports on the "taliban" killing coalition troops, this sniper for example saying he is on a killing spree. Im sure there are soldiers out there that have killed 10+ of the "taliban" but you only hear about these things very rarely. Anyway i've had my rant, now back on topic rip to the fallen soldiers Recon [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/4816/sniper.png http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/opagamahons.jpg
April 11, 201015 yr they're reporting this because it's unusual for a taliban man to take out so many of the coalition single handedly, whereas with coalition soldiers being in general better trained than the taliban a coalition soldier killing 10 taliban wouldn't be that remarkable.

Dont know what evidence they have to say this is one sniper, could of been 7 different shooters each time. http://i.imgur.com/ebwNl.png The Nomula: nom = 3(nom) or 3nom :. nom = nomnomnom :. nomnomnom + omnnom^2 - nom = omnnomnomnomomn _____________________2nom( 1/2 nom) Oh' date=' and i shottie having gunners mutant epic PR playing children[/quote']
April 11, 201015 yr One soldier likened the deadly stand-off to Enemy at the Gates, the Hollywood film in which Jude Law and Ed Harris play rival Soviet and German snipers stalking each other across Stalingrad during the second world war.. that bit is an eye opener for me http://i.imgur.com/798rp.png http://i46.tinypic.com/v2wmlz.png Close Air Support excellence
April 11, 201015 yr that bit is an eye opener for me How so? http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man. It tells you not to play the second worst PR map [burning Sands] (first is Wanda Shan). QFT: if you dont get pissed off when you lose you dont care enough
April 11, 201015 yr Ahh its not news unless you hype it up and sensationalise it. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
April 12, 201015 yr Interesting, perhaps and on another level, in that is demonstrates a sniper presumably well-trained - going for specific high-value targets, taking his time. Not just some fundamentalist noob with a high-powered rifle... "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
April 12, 201015 yr How so? lol cos my dad always QQ's that all these movies and games i watch/play are nothing like reality , and then this guy has gone and said it him self http://i.imgur.com/798rp.png http://i46.tinypic.com/v2wmlz.png Close Air Support excellence
