Snipers are brigade assets. So you will find them at brigade level. But not all brigades have snipers all the time because manpower shortage.

Hmmm ... obviously you have not fired a sniper rifle. Yes it is possible to hit a playing card out from 600m. The bulleyes in the practicing target is less than 3 inches wide. From 600m out, one can hit it with proper training and zeroing. Onced the scope is zeroed to your rifle we can easier put in 7/10 in the bulls eye. This was done using SSG69, with the new rifle think it will even be easier right?!?!

However, it is hard, but not impossible, to put one in during live firing ... fatigue, stress, heat, wind, lighting and terrain makes it hard to judge the distance and make fine zeroing.

in fact, the barrel heavier easier to hit the bullseye… hhaha, and the new rifle does have a heavier barrel.

COA is not a SME on Sniper Rifles. I don’t think he was sniper trained.
