Um, I dunno 'bout you, but kinda removes the challenge, doesn't it?
11/26/2010 - A special operations forces sniper with International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) positions his M-134 machine gun overlooking the Tagab Valley in the Kapisa province of Afghanistan Nov. 26, 2010, during the construction of a road maintenance team checkpoint. Afghan civilians, members of the road maintenance team, ISAF special operations forces and members of an Afghan National Police provincial response company built the checkpoint.

There's only "open fire" and "I need to reload."
Rule #37...
Merry Christmass to you all.
That depends on whether the kill is for food or defense.
Jus' sayin'.

Wasn't my fault they kept running into the bullets coming from my gun!!
BTW, if a gatling can be considered a sniper's weapon, I guess the bulk of my military career was as an airborne sniper. Heh.
And all this time, I never knew I was a sniper!!
"100 shots one kill." Don't sound right.
As opposed to an Airborne sniper.
For that, ya gotta wear the pin with the wings bent up due to descending through tree branches...
Would love to know what happened to him...
Ah, we called it Airmobile. Although one year I was in the Airborne.
I see we have some real brain surgeons commenting on this issue. It is rather interesting to see the different comments. I am really amazed at the scope of people we have here. It is also important to remember, as the Armorer always puts it, “The mileage may differ...”
I hope y'all have a “Merry Christmas!” and a “Happy New Year!”

2) Special operations forces guard road maintenance teams?
3) Who writes the captions?
I may have met SGT Kinston, and may have handled your records. (Not that I remember any detail, at this distance) I was a personnel management clerk at School Brigade in 1973 - 74. Handled OCS, Airborne, and Ranger classes. Used an electric typewriter and thought I was high-tech. When were you there in 73?
where the hell are the Seabees????? isn't that BOTH of thier jobs?
If I remember correctly, it takes nine men to make it possible for the one man actually on the line. There was an old saying, “never aggravate the cook, secretaries, clerks's or anybody on that level. There are just too many ways for them to get even.” This is especially true of people in the medical realm. How many ways do they have get even?
As a “Board Certified Rectal Discomfort”, this is not the path you want to choose, I know. But it is fun to chat like this. For me, there is an additional aspect going on right now, I am using Dragon Speech for the Mac. I am having some issues with hand eye coordination, I hope this will resolve the problem and I can still be a pain. The hands just don't work like they used to, for that matter nothing does. The mouse in my brain is on strike. I guess we are all getting older, but that is better than the alternative. You could say, "I'm a fugitive from the coroner."
Rule #37
I've been introduced to this book very recently. Clearly advice to live by. :D
Especially when air and arty are denied.
I doubt that you'll see logisitics complaining about job security...

"sights, or does he just walk the tracers onto the target?"
Sights!! Your joking I hope. The aircraft kits had sights, but they ended up in the trash bin after about the third mission.
Looks like Old Scout used a mini-gun to load his comments. I'll clean that up.
JTG - Sights - there is provision for them, but the only sights I've seen mounted on these mounts are night-vision, to aid target acquisition. Otherwise, you just bring the fire on-target like you would a hose.
It's not my falt. I MAY have hit the button twice, but that's it. Yesterday it wouldn't let me post at all.
Sorry it took so long to answer: that would be July of '73...GREAT time to be in Georgia. Not.
Armorer,
Aiming reference? Just use the Force...always worked for me. (That, and getting close enough to almost frag yourself.)
Terrapod. That's a soft cap. SOF guys got it like that.
That's what unexpended AGM-65Ds are for if your NVGs are T/U.
