Buddy, its the fact of life. Military snipers get thumped on by
High explosive rather than getting shot.
And finding out where a sniper shot from is not that hard either,
even without modern day equipment.
First, if you are the guy who gets shot, u probably won't find
out.
If someone else get shots. First, take cover. 2nd, remember which
direction the poor fucker was facing. 3rd, look for the exit wound,
(the god awful fucking mess side of the wound), the sniper fired
from the direction opposite the wound.
Number 4 is knowing your enemy. Means, what kinda sniper weapons
the enemy often uses and what is its effective range. From there,
suppress fire with everything you've got and call for arty strikes
and level +100m sq radius of the position you guessed. Finally,
rush the hill with troops and look for pieces of meat strewn on the
floor for supper.
Oh, did I mention that most military sniper rifles fire supersonic
rounds, so if the distance is great, you will hear the BANG after
the bullet ploughs through someone. If the distance is not that
far, you probably hear the bang and the *PHUCK* together.
In anycase, modern thermal imaging can spot snipers easily. Though
they are masters of concealment, an armored vehicle with
respectable optics can pick them out.
