In our battlefield, I will rather use a weapon i was trained to use than one that I'm not, Furthermore, most of our combat will be at Jungle if not Urban. A sniper rifle isnt as easy to use as it seems, or else sniper wouldn't be consider eliteOriginally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Anyone heard of it? It's for special forces but I would really trade my SAR21 for it in any battle.
did anyone tell anyone that it weighs 20over pounds...Originally posted by xXhuskyXx:In our battlefield, I will rather use a weapon i was trained to use than one that I'm not, Furthermore, most of our combat will be at Jungle if not Urban.

Singapore is semi-urban, so I may prefer this weapon over my SAR 21 and my accuracy isn't half-bad. I also like the armour-piercing rounds that come with it.Originally posted by xXhuskyXx:In our battlefield, I will rather use a weapon i was trained to use than one that I'm not, Furthermore, most of our combat will be at Jungle if not Urban.

If the opposition is carrying a draganov and my fireteam is just carrying SAW, GPMG and SAR 21s, I would suggest opening up a place for a squad sharpshooter with semi-auto sniping rifle.Originally posted by specialOps:very good sniper rifle...but good for snipers only.
I wouldn't trade my SAR-21 for this....needed full auto and short, tactical weapon...good for 400m enuff already, no need 800m/1.2k sniper rifle.
ask the anti tank to fire a AT missle over lar. Furthermore Dragnov isnt that accurate. iirc i saw a vid of how a US Marine gt pinned down inside a rooftop they use the AT4 and M203 to clear the Sniper. i will post the link once i found the video againOriginally posted by Herzog_Zwei:If the opposition is carrying a draganov and my fireteam is just carrying SAW, GPMG and SAR 21s, I would suggest opening up a place for a squad sharpshooter with semi-auto sniping rifle.
2 things:Originally posted by Alvin.Yeoh:Why would you trade an infantry battle rifle for sniper rifle? Its not as if a sniper rifle is one where anybody can pick up and use with proficiency anyway.
SAR 21 and this AS50 is not exactly a one for one trade.
Wah.. now SAF got this term "fireteam" liao ah? I must be damn out of touch!Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:2 things:
My fireteam is always a target-practice on the field unless it has a counter sniper element. AS50 can be a designated light armour killer element without wasting a LAW. Technically, I am the sharpshooter of my fireteam and I like long-range minimal recoil semi-auto weapons.
fireteam? I only know "squad"Originally posted by Shotgun:Wah.. now SAF got this term "fireteam" liao ah? I must be damn out of touch!
A weapon like that can take out the engine block of light vehicles well. But I'm not sure I'd handle Light Armored Vehicles like M113s.
Nonono. Same as you-it was sections. But for ranger course, divided into "squads", pretty close to the concept of a fireteam, I think. (never had fireteam then)Originally posted by Gedanken:We have squads now? Back in my day it was sections.
I like it..Originally posted by wonderamazement:You guys should see the Barrett 25MM sniper rifle...
