    Modern snipers don’t have the luxury of being 200 yards away from their target (or the luxury of daytime). Get with the times. Also don’t son me, thanks.

      Request denied, junior. You walked into a discussion on citizen action talking from the side of your inexperienced neck about how only the most modern, bespoke equipment can hold up to the rigors of war, and son, you are full of shit.

      Civil wars are fought with hunting rifles and anything else that hands can be laid upon. You sound like the kind that would sign up on the government’s side anyway.

        The original comment was talking about how 90% of the difference between a hunting rifle and a sniping rifle is what you point it at. Which is partially correct, except for the fact that actual sniper units fighting in wars need a shitload more equipment.
        Notice how none of us brought civil wars into the discussion until you came along.

        Either way I’d love to see you fight a BMP with your 30 dollar ammo at night, civil war or not.

        e: Also hell yeah I’d sign on the government’s side, I want my country to exist, thank you very much. We don’t have batshit insane politics like americans do, just a batshit insane neighbor trying to wipe us off the map.
