Subject: RE: Beginner's SG AND SNIPER TEAM.
or give the sniper team multiple prepared shooting positions that can be travelled to without the other guys getting eyeball contact, and emplacing a mix of command detonated antipersonnel mines, and command detonated anti armor mines / fired anti armor rocket launchers to cover the approaches that armor or vehicles might use to take him out. two men, 3-4 prepared firing positions, half dozen AP mines and another half dozen anti-armor mines and remote rocket launchers ought to give most opponents fits.... especially if the sniper uses something really "low tech" but uttra-modern as his piece. laser sighted, computer asisted, UHV, flechette shooting AIR RIFLE and armor piercing flechette to slice through body armor (not powered armor, body armor) like it was TP, any one? the delay in recharging the main weapon would be easily off set by its being very, very, very hard to spot when shooting. of course the weapon could be fitted with angas tank that was good for x number of shots before being dropped and another loaded.
