least 0.5

off center or is at least 15 cm off center at 300 m.

5. Weapon Use

44 The Scoped Rifle Model 55 is a weapon for advanced marksman, with which small, important

targets can be engaged at long distances.

The success of an elite marksman equipped with a Scoped Rifle is dependant on the following

conditions:

Only marksmen who have proven themselves extremely competent using the Mq. 31 and the

assault rifle can be considered as Elite Marksmen.

Elite marksmen should not only be instructed in marksmanship but also in ways to use the terrain,

target reconnaissance, distance estimation, and use of binoculars as well as the scope of the rifle.

It will be necessary to give elite marksman the opportunity to inspect the scope adjustment with

more than the usual number of shots.

With a ‘sighted in’ rifle, a target of 0.2m

(target style G) must be hit with the first shot at a

distance of 300 m.

Over larger distances, it is required most of the time to adjust while shooting. The visual field for

a target placed closer is too small to estimate with confidence the true aimpoint.

In order to enable a marksman to adjust his shot, it is necessary to know the enemies position. The

clarity and the lay of the terrain should permit observing the effect of his shot.

A marksman should not be able to see the effects of his shot except at distances of 300m and

beyond. In effect, at shorter distances the time from cartridge discharge, to when the bullet strikes

the target is so short that it is impossible to see the effect of the shot.

Elite marksmen operate alone or in teams. For this reason, a well defined mission should always

allow the snipers to operate independently within the combat structure.

A sniper team is composed of a man equipped with a scoped rifle and a second man equipped with

and assault rifle and binoculars.

This second man observes the terrain with the binoculars and looks to locate where the bullets

strike the target in the case the shooter cannot do it by himself.

Snipers are deployed in the following situations:

-Against hard to engage targets up to distances of 600m,

-At nightfall up to 300m.

-During the night against clearly seen targets,

-Against an enemy on the march at long range,

-Against especially dangerous targets, that are worth the effort (observation posts,

snipers, officers, tank viewports, marksmen hidden in trees, on roofs or in caves).

6. Training

45 Training will be performed by an officer. Soldiers selected for sniper training should continue

their training in the special disciplines and will adapt their weapons knowledge to the scoped rifle.

Since an elite marksman should be able to hit small targets up to distances of 500m that are

difficult to engage, he will shoot for the most part on a bipod, and in special cases supported or

with the help of the sling. As training progresses, shooting will be done in situations more and

more difficult, with perfect camouflage.
