简介：大家都看得懂吧。。。For most of us, the word "sniper" evokes some unsettling imagery -- a lone gunman, undetectable, on the hunt. And while military snipers are indeed elite shooters who hide, line up a target in their sights and pull the trigger, there is a lot more to it than that. When a sniper takes a shot, there are countless variables to consider before squeezing the trigger --- wind speed, wind direction, range, target movement, mirage, light source, temperature, barometric pressure, and that's just the beginning. The work that goes into getting a good position to take a shot is immense. That's why snipers always work in pairs. Surprised? Most people are. These highly skilled marksmen are often perceived as lone assassins racking up "confirmed kills." In reality, true snipers work for the military and law enforcement agencies and are far more concerned with the number of lives they save than with the ones they take. Because of the secretive and stealthy nature of the work, not too many people know what's really involved in being a sniper, so we went straight to the source: We interviewed a former U.S. Army Ranger sniper to get the inside information. In the next few sections, we'll go over tools, tricks, and training of these mysterious and deadly warriors. 

另外一小部分的翻译：因为他们所执行的任务，狙击手一般在身上背很少的工具，并且耐心的在黑夜与灌木丛的掩盖下移动。但是他们从来不独立行动。一个狙击组常常要花上几小时甚至是几天一动不动的蹲点，如果稍有动静，他们的行踪就会被敌人所感应到。 虽然狙机枪只需要一个人去发射它，但是两人组更可以将枪的潜力展现出来。 这就是为什么狙击手们常常两人一齐执行任务。 一个狙机组是由一位Sniper和一位Spooter所组成的。双人组在执行任务时要比Sniper一人执行任务更有优势。Spotter配有自己的望远镜，这种望远镜比狙机枪上安装的镜更精准，可以观察到几千米之外的敌人的一举一动。Spotter用着这样一个望远镜去观察目标并且准备部点。 以下是狙击的大概过程： 1）狙机组利用现有的地图或照片来计划处最佳的观察地点。 2）他们将从高处的“偷窥”－－b 3）当一切就绪之后，部点。 4）判断这个点是否安全，隐蔽。 5）建立一条逃跑路线和一个第二点以防两人在将来的事件中分散。 5）确定目标 6）定点： － 狙击手在一个可以提供他最佳视野的地方趴下。 － Spotter在Sniper旁边偏后方趴下，将望远镜置放在最靠近狙机枪枪管的视野的地方。 7）他们合作去分析目标的远近，风像，角度以及调整其他会影响发射子弹的因素。 8）然后剩下的就只有耐心等待了。 某前狙击手说道：“接下来你就射死那个人，然后赶快逃跑！”

目前最长纪录保持者是加拿大的Rob Furlong(阿富汗驻军), 射程2430m, 用的是.50-caliber (12.7 mm) McMillan TAC-50.

Well show us the next few sections then= =||[tools, tricks, and training of these mysterious and deadly warriors]...sounds cool!

SNIPER RIFLES"One shot, one kill" is the sniper motto. Accomplishing this would not be possible without the specially modified rifles used by snipers in the field. A sniper rifle such as the M-21 or PSG-1 in the hands of a highly trained sniper can be a deadly weapon from more than a mile away. Army Ranger Sniper used an M-21: "It was a military M-14 with match-grade upgrades -- hollowing out the wood, fiberglass-seated receiver, different trigger mechanisms and optics." Match grade means the rifle has been fine-tuned by a professional gunsmith to ensure the highest possible accuracy and reliability. Match-grade rifles are also used for competitive shooting. A match-grade rifle coupled with handmade, match-grade ammunition ensures the consistency that is so important for a marksman. In addition, sniper rifles sport a free-floating barrel to ensure that the barrel touches the least amount of the weapon possible. This reduces vibration from the recoil. Also, sniper rifles are usually designed or modified to incorporate fiberglass or composite stocks to avoid the effect of humidity on the receiver. Any swelling of the wood can affect the accuracy of the shot. Sniper rifles are generally bolt-action rifles. That means the sniper must load and chamber each round he fires. Once he has fired, he has to clear the shell casing and load another round. Though they are more difficult to operate and have a much slower rate of fire, bolt-action rifles are preferred because they have fewer moving parts than automatics. There are semi-automatic sniper rifles, though, such as the M-21. Army Ranger Sniper had this to say about how the nature of the different rifles can affect a sniper in the field: "If you fire something on a bolt action, you have to reload one, and that movement could give you away. But also, the round flying out of the rifle could give you away on the semi-automatic." In the end, it comes down to the personal preference of each sniper. There are many different types of sniper rifles manufactured by countries all over the world. On average, they cost between $8,000 and $15,000. [they cost between $8,000 and $15,000.]－－－这是什么价钱那～～！

为了让大家看到这张帖子！我顶～～～！

all i know is that sniper rifles are a lot cheaper in CS."Sniper rifles are generally bolt-action rifles."I believe most armies in the world (more so in developed countries) use semi-auto rifles rather more than bolt-action. after all, a round flying out of the rifle has a smaller movement than a person cranking the bolt; and also they shoot faster.SWAT, on the other hand, uses small caliber bolt-action rifles because they have no need for a high rate of fire.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。我还要不要贴下一章？

随便你，我头疼，还有半个动画没校对好

你搞动画？

在字幕社做，我自己没事找事做，顺便练习日语

Copy. read later.

俄。。看完了——汗，没兴趣，sorry!

Once I've read in one of those millitary magzines and found out that, bolt-action rifles have much more accuracy than semi-auto rifles in their first shoots, and that's why S.W.A.T. uses bolt-action rifles.

继续贴~~Rounds Down Range The skill snipers are most known for is their marksmanship. The ability to hit targets as far as a 1,000 yards away (10 football fields!) is not something that comes naturally. Snipers train to become expert marksman with a deeply ingrained understanding of the principles of ballistics. Photo courtesy Department of Defense Defense Visual Information CenterSnipers practice marksmanship on a range at the U.S. Army Sniper School at the Sembach Army Annex in Germany.MOA (minute of angle) is the unit of measurement that snipers use in school to measure accuracy. The greater the distance the sniper is shooting from, the lower the accuracy, as natural forces like wind resistance work on the bullet while it travels through the air. MOA measures the accuracy of the shot taking the distance it was fired from into consideration. The basic formula is 1.047 inches at 100 yards, or, for practical purposes, 1 inch at 100 yards. For every 100 yards the bullet travels, you add 1 inch of inaccuracy. The two biggest variables that affect a bullet's flight are wind and gravity. When estimating the range of a target, snipers must consider how the wind will affect flight over that distance. Sniper teams can use indicators like smoke or blowing leaves to help them read the wind. Despite the high power of a rifle shot, it is still affected by gravity. If you were to fire a sniper rifle level to the ground at the same moment that you drop a bullet from the barrel height, the fired bullet and the dropped bullet would hit the ground at the same time. As a round travels through the air, gravity is dragging it down. When sighting a shot, snipers must often compensate for this by "overshooting" the target. Air temperature affects a bullet, as well. Cold air is denser than hot air and therefore creates more drag on a bullet. On the other hand, bullets can tear through hot air. But Army Ranger Sniper explains that because humidity often accompanies hot air, which will also affect the bullet, this is yet another variable to be considered. "And with winds and heat and humidity -- if you look at all the factors it's amazing you can hit anything." Photo courtesy Department of Defense Defense Visual Information CenterGerman and American snipers work together to sight a shot in desert training exercises. Even in ideal shooting situations, targets may be at odd angles or moving. Snipers are taught at the range how to deal with these problems. Ultimately, the farther a sniper can be from his target and still remain accurate the more effective he is and the less likely he is to be discovered. Using a 7.62mm round, snipers can shoot nearly silently as long as they're shooting from over 600 meters. A bullet leaves the rifle barrel faster than the speed of sound. The cracking sound a bullet makes is a tiny sonic boom. Even if a target doesn抰 hear the rifle shot, he will hear the bullet fly by. But the drag created by wind resistance on a 7.62mm round as it travels through the air slows the bullet down to sub-sonic speeds at around 600 meters. So at ranges over 600 meters, the bullet no longer makes that distinct cracking sound. Army Ranger Sniper tells us, "If you're shooting at a target 800 or 1,000 meters out, you could be shooting at that person all day long and they don't even know they are being shot at." Photo courtesy Department of Defense Defense Visual Information CenterThe spotter uses a range card to help him estimate the range to the target.Snipers spend plenty of time in school cracking the books and in the classroom learning the principles of ballistics, windage, air density, and many other variables that affect the flight of a bullet. But at the end of the day, it comes down to what snipers call "rounds down range." A sniper's most valuable classroom is the firing range. Snipers don't have time in the field to think about theory. Hours at the range help snipers to apply these principles by "feel."

汗……没点英文基础还真不行……我只知道上次和朋友打wargame，有个有钱少爷学人背了把上万的m82a趴在山林里趴到自己睡着。目击者1号：“我们从后面靠近他，发现他很镇定，我们不敢确定他有没有发现我们。”目击者2号：“我和XX经过详细考虑后决定慢慢接近狙击手，当时只剩下不到3米的距离了，我们不能开枪，但不知道旁边是不是有埋伏。”目击者1，2号：“后来经过我们非常谨慎小心的观察后，发现……他睡着了。”

晕

Jean和Rico真的是一对很出色的Spotter和Sniper.

啊？！看了这么多集我现在才知道John和Rico是Spotter和Sniper的关系呀0－0
