Answer me this Do you see or know any one that Serves in the military currently or use to be that Used a shotgun when they wer only Sniping witless idiots through the scope?

You do not snipe witless idiots, you snipe according to situation, officers, patrols, enemy combatants, vital equipment and/or support personnel. To create fear and confusion (which is why there is one unspoken rule, a sniper can generally expect not to be taken a prisoner, rather shot on sight when caught)
And in some countries in europe and asia, snipers gear(if carrying a light enough rifle or gear to begin with) includes a 4-6 shot pump action 12 or 20 gauge with a short barrel.

Standard equipment for snipers are as follows.
one Sniper rifle
one radio
Light Armor specifically designed for high bullet impact.
2 grendaes and flash bangs claymores /land mines if need be including laser trips.
[/quote]
There is no such thing as standard equipment. you are equipped according to your task, only thing that doesnt change is your combat pack and its contents, and your rifle.
Combat pack usually being The radio you mentioned, minus the mines that is something you have according to what tasks you have been given.
Add a survival knife.
Thin thermal planket
field canteen 0.75-1 litres.
spare ammo
No grenades.
anything else is extra. The pack you described sounds like an incomplete field recon pack, and they work in pairs to begin with. But even snipers who work in pairs dont carry that kind of **** around. Where do you get your info really? the movies?

basically rule of Snipers Travel Light Stay fast on your feet.
[/quote]
No the basic rule of snipers is, advance slow and prone or short distance sprints, make no sound and keep your gear so it doesnt give away a glint. Also you cant hardly say they travel light, their full combat packs easily weigh an excess of 30 kilograms. Rifles alone weigh anything from 7,8kg from the lighter sturdy ones to the 14 kilos barret, then you got your other gear on top of that, and the spare ammo, and your side arm or back up gear. That **** aint light. The basic Grunts combat gear in comparison, with their service rifle and ammo included weighs around 12-15 kilos max. and only the spotter carries the gogles.

infiltrators normally don't Carry anything other than a sniper and pistol armor and a few other things including spare ammo for both pistol and rifle .
[/quote]
Soldiers tasked for infiltrator duty do not carry sniper rifles or their service rifles for that matter, unless it is a scouting party I.E. a group of people doing it. Infiltrators are given apropriate colored vest, fatiques helmet and a pistol with 3-5 spare clips, same things a jet a pilot would carry with him in a cokpit. + gogles

i would know because i am the best damn marksmen that my country has known thus far point is this just a game you can use W/e weapon you wish but in the real life no sniper would carry no more than 2 weapons ammo and grenades unless they have back up or a spotter.
[/quote]
I fear for your country, since with that knowledge you could not have passed ground combat school not in any country in the western hemisphere atleast. and in most on the eastern either.

[/quote]

ok we can now officially forget the motto you mentioned earlier, that **** is heavy no matter how you look at it.
The **** you carry to combat sounds more and more unrealistic the further i read it.
[quote]
no AR no
Shotgun "depending the mission i get assigned to most of it is Sniping duty that i get asigned to any way.
wanted to post this so you know the standard load outs of most recon units in the field. "minus my arms ofc" those wer different issue in general i had to prove to them that i can still fight hell i did but thank god i don't serve in america because they be like "no human arms no active duty" my home land isn't as retarded and racist they are "no offense to any one intended" just tired of what america is like.
[/quote]
I garan"damn"tee that if you ever get someone to let you carry all that ****, or if they make you carry all that ****, they are laughing inside, at you. Or are just plain neglegent
And i am having hard time believing even russian armed forces would let you carry that **** without laughing at your face, not even speznaz.
[/quote]
i dont Carry Standard Equipment i like to travel a little heavy not by much as i said in some Area's its Different than the "American armed forces" which imo is the worst military known to mankind due to its Descrimination to people with robotic arms i serve in the speznas forces but i am the best on my team and in my current miltary every General in the army that i've spoken to have not Seen a damn soldier doing what i do on a day to day basis sure they brag about having the best military power across the globe i bet if the Russian army cuts itself from sharing their Tech with the us govrnment on top of other countries the usa would topple in a heart beat with it being alone and easy prey . just saying ecause their tech is actually shared with other countries and area's.no soldier in the army that i have come to known and respect can do what i can which is why your so called "US" government likes to Discriminate others because they think because they don't have "human arms and lims" they can't do what a normal soldier can do i on the other hand i am living proof.
i'm not payed to please you i'm not payed to even make you believe me hell i couldn't care less what you think i know my life better than any one that has met me briefly or has been friends with me for years.
but believe what you want i honestly don't care really and you obviously proven to me that your a child with that picture of a mangy mongrel that i'd rather give it to an asian community just for them to have a meal i'm sure they love Dogs and cats for meals.
and Fyi about your post you obviously have less reading skills than i had predicted if you read my comment you would of understood that i said that they REMOVED THE ASSIGNED WEAPON BLOCKS that they had in the previous titles any way i'm done arguing with a mere child so enjoy your day or W/e you are doing i honestly couldn't care but enjoy it cause i'm done speaking to you..<_<
