Marine with Barrett 50 earns Bronze Star
erving as a Platoon Sergeant in the First Marine Division in Iraq, Staff Sergeant Steve Reichert found himself and fellow Marines in a potentially dire situation. Deployed near the Karch Oil Depot in Lutafiyah, Reichert moved to an overwatch position on top of an oil tank to ensure the safety of one of the squads in the oil depot.
Reichert ascertained that a squad was being surrounded and attacked by large numbers of insurgents and quickly engaged the enemy with his Barrett .50 BMG rifle. Working at ranges of 900 to more than 1,600 meters, Reichert killed multiple insurgents in support of the squad.
During the firefight, two of the Marines in the squad became isolated from the rest of the group, nearly 100 meters away. Reichert held the converging enemy forces at bay with his Barrett until they were able to safely rejoin the rest of their squad.
In complete disregard of his own personal safety, Reichert remained on the line protecting these men even though he himself had become isolated from support by more than 2 kilometers. To make matters worse, Reichert was also receiving friendly fire from a disoriented friendly unit during the engagement.
Once all was said and done, Reichert had nine confirmed kills in addition to doubtless numerous other enemy killed or wounded. In recognition of his bravery and skill in effectively handling a very fluid and dangerous situation, Staff Sergeant Reichert was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions.
Steve Reichert has gone on to found Tier 1 Group (http://www.t1g.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) designed to offer members of the military community advanced training as well as High Caliber Training (http://www.hicaltraining.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), designed to offer training for the civilian and law enforcement markets.

Naja,''the sniper always aimed for the head'' ''wounding may be potentially fatal'' stimmt nicht so ganz, es wurde sehr wohl auch in die Bauchgegend geschossen um die Moral des Gegners zu zerstören, ausserdem bietet der Torso ein viel grösseres statischeres Ziel was die Treffsicherheit dramatisch erhöht.

Ich bin mit meinem zufrieden, aber gut, ich dresche das Ding auch nicht durch die Wüste.

Noch ein starres am M14, und nettes cheek riser.

Self-Aiming Sniper Rifles Coming Next Year

By Rebecca Boyle

Published October 03, 2010

A sniper crouches near an open window and zooms in on his target, who sits a half-mile away. He peers through a scope and holds his breath, preparing to squeeze the trigger. But it’s windy outside, and he can't afford a miss. What to do?

Clearly, he needs a self-aiming gun. Fortunately, one should be available next year.

Using the One-Shot system, under development by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a new electro-optical system will calculate the ballistics for him, telling him where to aim and ensuring a perfect shot -- no matter the weather conditions.

Lockheed Martin won a $6.9 million contract this week for the second phase of DARPA’s One-Shot system, which will provide direct observations of a target, measure every variable that influences a bullet’s flight, and calculate the aim offset in a sniper’s rifle scope.

During the project’s first phase, which started in 2007, Lockheed developed a down-range system that measured average crosswind; range to target; spotter scope position; air temperature, pressure, and humidity; and more, according to Military Aerospace. Using all those variables, the company calculated the ballistics for a .308 bullet at ranges as far as 3,600 feet.

While that’s impressive, the system was too heavy and unwieldy, and it couldn’t be used with standard rifle scopes. The phase-two design will be more compact and able to operate in real time and over longer distances.

It will measure atmospheric conditions, account for the weapon’s maximum effective range and include GPS coordinates. It’s also supposed to communicate with the rifle scope, informing the gun itself of the aim point offset and expected crosswind.

Lockheed is supposed to deliver 15 field-testable prototypes by next October.

hab eh schon bilder beantragt

[Dave_64]

Bin ich ja gespannt.

Is aber cool, wenn man mit den scope sprechen kann.

He scope was sagt der wind?
Musst nicht wissen mach ich schon die Einstellung!
He scope was sagt die Entfernung?
Musst nicht wissen mach ich schon die Einstellung!
He scope was muss ich eigentlich wissen?
Nichts nur drücken wenn ich sage xD

[-wolf-]

Bitte, wo bleibt denn da noch Spaß und Herausforderung? Und was macht der Schütze, wenn ihm die Batterien ausgehen? Oder die Elektronik den Geist aufgibt oder irgendwie gestört wird und falsche Daten ausspuckt?
