Captain here, sniping started in the early 1800s, also known as the Napoleonic era, when the rifle was invented. If you didn't know, a rifle was a musket that instead of being smooth-bore, had grooves inside the barrel so that the bullet would spin and be more accurate which is called rifling. So technically, a pistol is a rifle because it has rifling. Also, when came rifles came snipers however in that time they were called sharpshooters. The Prussians and Austrians had ''Jaëgers'' while the french had ''chasseurs'', both of these terms translate to ''hunters'' in English. Also, the British named their snipers ''The Green Jackets'' because they wore green, obviously. It is unsure what country first used snipers, but it is either Great Britain, Austria or Prussia (Now known as part of Germany) *Flies away*

Technically speaking a sniper rifle is definitely a long range precision rifle that was made to kill people, not animals, and used by a Sniper as you basically stated....except for a few exceptions. For example, the mosin nagant 91/30 is actually considered a sniper rifle. It was designed to kill people and had no other design purposes at the time other than killing people as well as at the time it was a precision long range rifle that was used by snipers and though a certified sniper may not use them today they are actually in all definitions a sniper rifle due to the characteristics and original purposes. It was also used by some of the most dangerous snipers in the world.

Will Stromquist It's not that simple of a distinction - SVD is pretty much designated marksman rifle, semi-automatic capable of engaging targets at 600-1300m with the PSO-1 sight. M82 is anti-materiel, sniper rifle, and it's semi-automatic too.
@willstromquist27759 жыл бұрын
Tomasz Wota The M82/A3/107A1 isn't a DMR. It's a purpose built anti materiel rifle. Sure, it's semi automatic, but it uses the .50 BMG cartridge, which can operate at longer ranges and will, instead of just making a hole, completely dismember and almost cut someone in half. In terms of the SVD, what I was saying is: purpose built DMRs like the SVD, SR25, M39 EBR, etc are meant for filling the gap between infantry and a scout sniper. 200-600 yard engagements. DMRs are fitted with optics that usually max at 10x while sniper rifles are fitted with greater magnification optics for longer distance shooting.
@TomaszWota9 жыл бұрын
Will Stromquist > _The M82/A3/107A1 isn't a DMR. It's a purpose built anti materiel rifle._ Huh? Let's see what I wrote: > _M82 is anti-materiel, sniper rifle, and it's semi-automatic too._ And that additionally was in context of: > _It's not that simple of a distinction [...]_ So I don't know where you got the idea that I wrote anything about M82 being DMR. *I specifically wrote it's an anti-materiel, sniper rifle*, juxtaposed it with SVD which while similarly semi-automatic is a DMR, to show that simple distinction of "semi-automatics are DMR, bolt action are sniper rifles" is incorrect.

Sniper in fact in the beginning (years 1700-1800) was the nickname that a skilled hunter would get if he was able to shoot a snipe (a kind of a small bird ) from the distance of 30 meters The hunters that proven themselves to be snipers were recruited by the army in the 1800s with the only purpose to shoot and kill high ranked officers and to bring down the enemy morale. So in the 1800s i think that the man as a "sniper" was far more valuable than the hunting rifle he used.

@MrS222228 жыл бұрын
J4NN3K yep, we figured out that snipers were an asset during the revolutionary war. It was kind of our way to out force the enemy through guerrilla tactics. We had the Kentucky rifle, also know as the Pennsylvania rifle for 40 years before the war. We had a bunch of them reaching out to about minute of man at 500 yards. We used small groups armed with rifles instead of musket to target key individuals like officers, even we thought it to be barbaric but nessecary to win the war. So with a wide smile we created the first designated marksman groups, without a doubt some old school recon style sniper and spotters were armed with them. We had the technology, but it wasn't commonplace in 1775.

After owning one and shooting it, I find it's just bad and I'm the ass for dropping almost 3k for it. I sold it and built an AR10 instead. That rifle is exceptional!

And the reason only the Mk12 uses 5.56 is that it is a crap round for a sniper. Too light to do any real damage at range. The fact it was so badly out ranged was one of the things that got the M110 developed as quickly as it did.

Not quite, military sharpshooting with a rifled musket pre dates the revolutionary war by a fair margin. Sad to say the US did NOT invent the art of sniping... however we used it to very good effect during our revolution. The minuteman's weapon of choice the Pennsylvania or Kentucky long rifles which were derivitives of the German Jeager rifle, built of local materials and with design changes that reflected the unique hunting conditions of the american colonies. European skirmishers and scouts had been using rifles to kill from a distance for a while, however the practice was somewhat frowned upon by the generals of the time, as it was more cost effective to kill mass amounts of infantry by lining up and firing volleys... the precision shooting that a rifle was capable of, at the expense of longer load times and increased cleaning didnt fit with this... also it was somewhat taboo to specifically target officers... which is what a percision rifle is best used for. So the techniques of long range battlefield shooting were somewhat limited in European armys, and was mostly employed as a defensive tactic. The minuteman's rifle was not a military weapon... it was tool that was primarily owned to put game on the table, it however was capable of killing a man accurately and easily... 3 times the range that the standard smoothbore military musket could. The first rifle created as a military weapon expressly for long range shooting (sniping) was the british Baker rifle. It is said that the commander of the british sharpshooting unit, (a major if I recall correctly) armed with a baker actually had general Washington in his sights but chose not to take the shot because it was "ungentlemanly" the thing that set the colonists apart from military doctrine of the day was this: irregular milita colonists did not give a rats ass about the rules of chivalrous combat. They would target officers at the outset of most engagements if they could, basically this would ruin the english formations abillity to fight as a unit... which is how their infantry was trained. Unit discipline would be lost, The formation would break ranks... many would get picked off and then the unit would be routed. THAT fact alone is what pissed off the english... not that we were killing their infantry soldiers, but that we were slaughtering officers from over 200 yards out from cover. Other armies didn't do that. It was viewed as barberous and ungentlemanly. But, no we didnt "invent" the discipline of long range combat shooting... however, we adopted it, made it our own - and made great use of it.

Sniping (targeting enemy from a hidden position) began before muskets were even invented: Welsh longbowmen laying siege to French castles would hide behind trees/etc & terrorize the inhabitants into not peeking over the walls, because they were so accurate at long distances (compared to any weapon of the day). 5:19 he TOLD you it wasn't USA.

The term sniper was originated by hunters who used to be after the "snipe" birds as they were considered a hard target for hunters around the 1800's By this definition the first snipers were British hunters. As the term was used to describe an "excellent marksman" nothing to do with shooting people. Sniper being used to describe a military role was much later. The Jagers were a hunter or gamekeeper who might have in the past used a crossbow pre gunpowder, the jagers of the Austrians and other Germanic speaking states were usually a light infantry type. During the napoleonic wars. The early air rifles were powerful capable of man killing at well over 100 yrds several designs developed and used during the Napoleonic wars but were rarely if ever used by the armies due to the high cost of manufacture. The first sniper is open to debate depending upon your terms. Must they be an accurate shot , a man killer in a military organisation not a hunter ? Must they used a gunpowder weapon ? If not the David vs goliath might be the first recorded sniper kill.

@@KRYPTIA-mp4ol depends upon what you mean by sniper as stated . The debate upon who , what, how armed , and when the first "sniper" is/was depends upon how you define sniper. Lots of questions can a person be a thing before its defined/named ? What type of weapon does a sniper use ? Must it be a firearm? Must it be a rifled barrel? Using a broad dictionary definition its a military person who shoots from concealment at long range at individual targets, a sniper therefore might well be using a crossbow or other muscle powered weapon. Its an interesting academic debate. My personal opinion its a rifled firearm at long 500yrd trained military person marksmanship so around the 1850's either the crimea or the america civil with a formal definition of sharpshooter added to the ranks. Before this there might have been individuals who were marksmen but no formal military term denoting a body of men trained to shoot individual enemies at long range.

Should probably rename it to "5 things you didn't know about: American sniper rifles". There's nothing really here about sniper rifles in general and things the general public might not know about them, for example, that the M107 .50 Anti-materiel rifle actually makes a rather poor antipersonnel weapon at long range for the same reason it's so good against materiel at closer ranges - that huge shell has a lot of drag and its performance falls off quickly at range compared to the .300 Win Mag fired by the M24/M40, or the .338 Lap Mag fired by the famous L115 used by the British.

Sniping was started by Great Britain during their rule in India. Snipes were a small bird that was difficult to shoot with rifles of the time. The verb "to snipe" originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India in reference to shooting snipes, which was considered an extremely challenging game bird for hunters. The agent noun "sniper" appears by the 1820s. The term sniper was first attested in 1824 in the sense of the word "sharpshooter". The term “Sniper” originated from the British occupation of India in the 1800's. During the revolutionary war a British sniper, Maj. Patrick Ferguson, was known for “The shot not taken”. Major Patrick Ferguson: British Sharpshooter, who invented a weapon superior to the standard “Brown Bess” musket

It has its uses, advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to shooting, you're always trading one thing for another. The M107 has a lot of range and power but it also weighs a lot and can be seen firing from a long, long distance. They also tend to be inaccurate. While an actual sniper rifle must be capable of MOA accuracy, the M107 usually has 2-3 MOA accuracy, making it a bad option for anti-personnel beyond 600 meters.

They increased the barrel length too(which increases accuracy and velocity), not just stick a scope on it.

This still doesn't change the fact that there are 49million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos ..

1.A lot of sniper rifles, and some other guns can penetrate walls...not new. 2.Basically...this wasn't interesting. 3.Almost interesting...but not a great thing. 4.Boring... 5.and again...not interesting. lel, I expected some more interesting stuff, like telling the stupid CoD players that snipers isn't as accurate as in the games, that the bullet is highly affected by the wind, or when sniper rifles were first introduced... this is just some minor facts that maybe we don't know but we don't interested in neither.

***** I know, but it is important what weapon are you using! Why? Because the concept of a gun is that you are want to use the power of the gunpowder exploding, to move a bullet to a certain direction, and that is why guns have barrels. But it doesn't catches all the force the expolsion makes, so it's important to use high quality ones to get the most out of it +if you are usin an MG the loading system uses some of the force to, so you are losing additional power for the bullet, which lowers the penetration value over distance. Sorry if my english is bad, it isn't my mother language(and it's logic is kinda weird).

***** -,-", man, my father, grandfather, and even grand grand father was soldier and I was born to become one too, just an accident happened, so most of my free time was around weapons, wich means I know SOMETHING about them. You are only right partially, yes the cartridge is the MOST factor of the bullets penetration value, but tell me: Where the hell is the recoil from?! It's the power of the expolsion you want use to fly that damn piece of lead(and steel)! How can be that? Because the barrel can't take all the force, so that is why the guns have recoil! I don't know that you have or haven't used guns, but I tell you something: The first round from an MG has more recoil than a sniper, because MGs have worse quality barrels(why I keep saying barrel if it isn't the only factor? cuz I don't know english haha) than sniper, so snipers use more force to move the bullet, wich means they have better penetration value, and lesser recoil(Yeah, you don't use MG from the shoulder but you know what I mean). Of course these are not a big factor, they only count when the target is far away, or armored, and yes, smaller cartridges have small differences betwen being shot from a sniper or an MG, you can see the difference when you shoot big caliber, like 12,7 mm or bigger.

Máté Kovács Just to clarify a few points, the projectile does not use the power of an explosion. That would be like riding a shockwave. The projectile gets its energy from the burning gasses which create pressure. Think of a rifle as a thermal engine. A given bullet will perform the same out of one rifle as another or even out of a an MG as long as certain parameters are the same. Barrel length, friction, amount of gas used to operate the action, etc. The recoil you feel is the "Opposite Reaction " that would be explained by Newton's third law. Determining factors for recoil would be things like the mass of the projectile, energy in Newtons or how fast you are accelerating the projectile, and the mass of the parent firearm that is being reacted upon. This is where people have started using the term "Felt recoil". As the recoil energy is absorbed and delayed by the mass of driving an action and trying to overcome the mass of the firearm, the recoil you feel will be lessened.

Matthew Stimmel "A given bullet will perform the same out of one rifle as another or even out of a an MG as long as certain parameters are the same." And this is where shit hits the fan: Guns don't have the same parameters, that is why the gun is participating in the bullets performance too(I know of course that this isn't too much). And I already know how recoil works, just can't undersand english enough to explain it here.

Heck, a .308 and anything up to the 50 cal, can penetrate a cinder block and kill what's behind it. You don't need a .50 cal for that

Case in point - most American sniper rifle cartridges were adopted from the already established commercial caliber market save the 50 Cal BGM. It’s been stated that the US Military is currently evaluating the 6.5 Creedmoor and possible other .308 variants for potential replacement of the enimic .556 round.

Incorrect, I was my units designated sniper with a XM16E1a2 rifle a 5.56 , I hated the weight of the rifle , scope, bipod and was required to carry twice the round count but I was always issued match ammo

I have an XM15E2S(A3) 14.5". I've lost count of how many thousands of rounds I've put downrange (gotta be over 5K) and never one failure. Bushmaster sure makes a good rifle, but it does seem to run a little heavier than some of the others.

A sniper rifle is a rifle used by a sniper. That's it. It's the skill and training that makes the gun effective for a particular mission.
