Origin the term is situated on the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. Technical improvements have allowed the French army acquire long-range rifles, perfect position to knock down enemies from afar. Prussian soldiers were called "franc-tireurs" ie, "handles francs (French). This was what led German soldiers to commit crimes against the civilian population, especially in Belgium during the First World War, it still had the memory of the casualties caused by these shooters during the previous conflict.
In recent decades the term sniper has been used freely for those responsible for murders, those who shoot at long distances and for any criminal who is equipped with a rifle in a civil context.
A sniper has three facets specified. The first is to select handle, the second is their modus operandi: the look, selective and precise with great coolness and third, the single combat which is what differentiates it from a selective shooter, as the elite shooters go with a squad and have a rifle as their peers but with minor improvements and some powerful telescopic sight.
Rifle, ammunition and coolness.
The sniper rifle is a type of firearm permits precision firing at targets at very long distances. Its use is common in both armies as police forces around the world.
A sniper rifle looks as accurately as possible in the shooting for which is equipped with a telescopic sight and using specific ammunition for weapons that would achieve long distances without sacrificing accuracy shooting. The term is often used to refer to any firearm accuracy with a telescopic sight that may be used against human targets. The rifle itself can be a normal, but by adding the scope would become a sniper rifle.
The scope reticle often contains other brands as well as the cross target. Some brands are used to estimate the distance, or to adjust the distance depending on the altitude and angle.
The scopes do not usually exceed eleven increases. Other adapters incorporate view image enhancement for night operations.
Subsonic ammunition has two carasteristicas: The first is the tip flies below the speed of sound, which reduces the noise significantly. The second is that to achieve this and that the cartridge is still lethal, the vezz reducing the load of powder, it increases the size of protectil, (this will also get to fly much better, and not affected by the air side, which also is more accurate). The perfect complement to this set of virtues is to use a silencer, because it is for that, for such ammunition is manufactured.
The most popular sizes used are the veteran 7.62 x 5.56 x 51 or 45. We must clarify that it has developed many sizes, resulting in a wide range of options depending on your needs and what the shooter. As for size 12.7 x ejemploel 99 (known as size 50) that is used for shooting whose distances above 2000 meters or for some special features such as walk through walls or vehicles with light armor.
