Small winter , it is a bird very agile in swamp of England and Scotland , Snipe spends summer in Scandinavia . It is the target very difficult for Hunter by the length of the feather of black and brown Once takes up about 25cm. Thus his ability , we examined the arm of skill test basic normal hunting . If you were able to snipe snipe , you will be able to hit all the targets - said before . Because that when they become common , late 19th century , one of the British officers , " Snipe shooting " , ie , shooting sport called " shooting snipe " . The origin of the name " sniper " , TNZ. " Sniper shooting " . It argues that a number of terms and appeared in the UK in India first , but since there sniper you've never seen before , it is unlikely this .


As a result of firing a weapon search of higher accuracy than the smooth use arquebuses, and gun barrel bruzdowanymi was invented in the 16th century . Switzerland in 1550 , the present invention is , followers of so many that I have introduced legislation to equalize the opportunity of taking participants champion equipped with a bow and Fire smooth-bore arms and armed player in cracking weapons and they I has won . Because it was used in the sport of shooting only , bruzdowanymi of the barrel of a gun , was delicate and expensive. Until durability more , less expensive , there was therefore in the hands of an ordinary soldier it . When it came to be used in gun modern large- scale , the American Revolutionary War in 1783 from the year 1775 , it happened only in the 18th century . Was able to settled immigrants using a firearm skillfully in the United States , it is the ability of customs shooting not only self-defense , is necessary for survival of both of obtaining food for hunting , cancer become a very common soon . During the American Revolution , settlers , was using them to good effect on the armed forces in the United Kingdom resolution BROWN BESS musket rifle and accuracy , in terms of range of fire . And formed a shooting game of the body in order to not fall behind the British Army , ( loaded from the inlet barrel ) and equipped it with Ferguson of gun odtylcowych few . You , armed mainly load weapon through the muzzle , they do not come to associate some success in the fight against settlers , but no longer , the war was over quickly they goalscorers , I had a major impact on the final result of the conflict . In spite of this, the experience of this campaign is to introduce the concept of sniper , military in uniform of green that operates independently between the individual goals of fighting ranks of the enemy , in compliance with its surroundings I was supposed to be . And sent him to fight France ( reorganized into 60 rifle regiment , rifle brigade in later ) body that was previously created to hold the shooter , the enemy felt his presence again sniper , Iberia , in the war were . There is a need to make it clear that you are concerned about the chat enemy of just it. When the pinch shooter appeared in France officer , in rare cases , sniper did not shoot him . And , in fact , it was not in the minds of its officers , but it is equated with murder , was killed by soldiers of the ordinary . American Civil War - inhibition " sniper " such , did not compete the next big anymore . First , not only primitive spot , it is possible to shoot the officers of the enemy has been allowed sniper armed with equipment rifle , but still , were encouraged to do so they . Shooter Union regiment first was created by Colonel Berdan in June 1861 , it was armed with a rifle Colt revolver that in May 1862 , so soon is replaced with the Sharps rifle , no effect was demonstrated . During this period , resulting in a regiment similar dozen dressed in uniform green rather than combat not only scouting task and are used . To form a battalion of their sniper Confederate , but it was used as a normal leg mainly . Because they do not take advantage of the advanced shooting techniques they completely , it was a serious mistake . In contrast , using more flexible depending on the tactical situation , to be able to them , the Allies were subdivision korpuśny or sniper reservation command . As a weapon of infantry basic , while being used , was the first of the war , two parties to the dispute , odtylcowych gun ( 1871 onwards from 1870 ) the Franco-Prussian War . But a spotkaniowymi, it , buoy was war tactics where the sniper did not play a major role . Guerrilla of progenitor cells - that customs shooting ability is useful to Fran · Tireurs at a short distance battle has been demonstrated . Relatively large resonance bullet wystrzliwanego Prussian needle gun ( 1820 meters before and after ) many commentators have pointed out the French publisher Spokane rifle (about 1550 meters ) . However , everyone that fired the rifle in a modern silhouette of the goals of human size at a distance of about 900 meters , at a distance such a large , the probability of hitting the order of the primitive weapons of subsequent be very small I have to admit that it was not vanara . This is the fact that it took a hit in the distance case like this from time to time , but while you are killing or hurting an opponent some of the missile by mistake , it was the inevitable result of a large fire . When shooting at long distance with a precision rifle ( 1899-1902 ) Boer War only , it has been improved . This was not the result of " superiority " Bohr Mauzerów Lee Metfordami the UK , but shooting skills Boer farmers simply . Indeed , in order to obtain food from an early age , was taught the habit of shooting in firearms . Ammunition because it was expensive and one of the farmers , and take shots on the target , because it was hungry . But , for the hunter , was the play of a child accustomed to at a distance of twice , hit the antelope running at a distance of 270 meters to beat the man to the stationary . On the other hand , I was trained in fighting off attacking enemies at a distance short British soldiers . But he found himself at a disadvantage when you extinguish the fire in the UK since the attack stop the horde of Boer . After the war , it is interested in shooting at long distance . The gun newly designed , adaptive , that is unrealistic is proven them to rapid fire at a distance outside the scope of the famous Moselle . As a result , by this , the British , focused on training when you reject the illusion , such as taking effective over long distances , to perform a fire intense Customs applicable normal combat distance . Victorian experts as pointed out , there is a need to develop in proportion to the benefits of this weapon should bring also , training of British soldiers in the use of " weapons , long soldiers each the dispatch infantry fire that has been trained body impressive , generally speaking who participated in the First World War in 1914 , British troops that you need to remember to have a weapon at a distance shot , that you do not have to , it the . " This is because it is a side effect , necessarily , to be used only in such a distance , soldiers , a distance of about 300 meters as a practice that was able to give the 30 rounds per minute away from it , when German soldiers to bear heavy losses always the most effective , it was the same type as the certification rifle shooting approaching too close , it has been shown . Soon, however , is converted handling of the war , the position war , the military is stuck in the trench . Therefore, the rules of engagement have changed . The war took the irregular nature of the exchange of fire . Silence was broken by the shot with the aim of a single well to the silhouette that moment appeared in " No Man's Land " between . Taken to better than others soldiers some - less . They accepted the tactic of waiting and hiding at the moment when it appears in the section of the trench and outdoor wybieżniach trench gradually . When I saw him , they opened the habit of fire . In general , such a "target" paid the price of ultimate for his carelessness . With the utmost care , experience of shooting the first obtained in the war , have been used by the military . Formally soon , select from among the candidates of soldiers sniper , organize professional training them , and began to introduce a rifle of full army of better targeting device . Snipers will present in front of all . They were given a large autonomy to conduct much of the fire than the soldiers of pregnant women in the trenches for the next attack . That made the choice of firing alone mainly , he holds it , Marksman was left in its sole discretion . It was a number are willing to " sniper ", but all volunteers are not the shooter gave it . It is hidden in anticipation did must be a soldier a long time is possible, the goal of silence , and then , lying he - Put single later , the exact shot , - re stay still , his position would not reveal . In addition , since the easy target of machine gun soldier such from putting a shot , never take such a single tree and bell tower like this , the position of any of the fireplace stand out , the imagination of many since you need. In order to determine the angle and distance of properly , sniper of the skill and knowledge of the area to not only move inconspicuously , to be able to function and you want to hide , able to understand the play of light and shadow on the ground I have a target to remove the check . War after finishing almost forgotten about the shooting sniper . It has survived even in the infantry school probably , demand sniper was small . In wartime , while predicting them in the shooting game of the campaign , and decreased full-time conversion with confidence rarely by itself . When World War II broke out in 1939 , early in the shooting hand of the period , in Europe and the United States , they did not have the opportunity too many to take action in particular, as a result , most of the military is , I felt the lack of sniper . To say the coalition forces " Let's live and live " , the German army is facing French front advanced to match the offensive initiative that does not take any of the parties . On the other hand when you move to the west , the pace of the fight was great too To use the sniper actually German blitzkrieg of May 1940 . A similar situation took place in North Africa there was no choice of shooting game is conducive conditions of the desert . Situation has changed after the invasion of Normandy in 1944 only . In contrast , on both sides of the Eastern Front snipers , it was hands full since 1942 to this . During the fight , and then encountered sniper of Japan to the islands of the South Pacific , American has developed a sniper of his own band soon . Speaking in general , in terms of accuracy , sniper gun of the Second World War , was selected weapon of mass production standard equipped with a light spot . United Kingdom Lee Enfield rifle , I've used a certain amount of adaptive pattern 14 rifle sniper shooting of the First World War further . In contrast to this , and the German Mauser rifle 98K, and were armed with Russia - WZ Mosin rifle . 1891-1830 , both models was equipped with a light arm spot . Russians began , the samopowtarzalnych for sniper rifle which eliminated the enemy detects the movement of the reload of shooting game easily . In contrast , the M1903 Springfield field use , the U.S. military has adopted the rifle thing great version , a self- loading rifle to arm the Garland mainly still . In World War II , brought , and research innovation and many other useful infrared technology to detect a target at night . Initially , it was thought to use it to detect the aircraft , it was replaced by radiotracking immediately . Germany , using the techniques of infrared night vision device , which was developed for observation of the coast , I have been quite successful in this . Was improve the reliability of night vision devices used in automobiles to reduce the size , moving the night. Then , the night vision radiation and the first that can be mounted on small arms , was constructed . These were driven by a battery carried on the back of the shooter . Came to build a night vision goggles of British driver also the behavior of habits fire in complete darkness for distances up to 180 meters of work in this area , these devices , conducted in the United States and the United Kingdom is , permission was American - vision rifle night spot . U.S. forces last was used for the South Pacific , but rather as an experiment . Was observed by , the limited range of the large mass of power , for a fixed position of the night vision use, these devices are more useful than the gunner . Sniper was also used in the Korean War . As well as both of the rank of the United States , the British , because it was many soldiers with experience of sniper , when I started a fixed position at the height of the 38th parallel , skills they become very convenient war has been . Have during World War II armed sniper is changed , you are not using the same weapon until it . This leads to a sniper rifle of your own South Korea made ​​by the guns of Japan , the story , there was 12.7 mm Browning machine gun , the barrel of the flask castle and even a British Army officer . Enable high- fire , in his own - but he pulled the fire of mortar of retaliation his enemies on both sides of the front line of the enemy too has not been " liked " . Because there was no major armed conflict in the world , in the years that followed , and shoot a sniper experienced stagnation . The kidnapping and intensified terrorist attacks , it was not until age , reminded themselves about the sniper again . When it fails the peaceful ways of conflict resolution , to say the support of the best , to fight terrorists individual that can be from a distance has become clear from the sniper , it is the precision of surgery . Look at the new market , the production of arms , he rubbed his hands anti-terrorism unit and police , and began to recognize the value of armed shooter to have been well-trained . Grudge owns many experts in Europe and the United States to the samopowtarzalnych use a sniper rifle in the 1941-1945 year in German and Russians mystery . I think in the 70s , they will be able to match the accuracy of the weapon weapons reproducible self-loading yet , we have developed in the Soviet Union for the outside . In 1963 , Soviet troops took the Dragunov weapons automatic rifle , but this fact did not affect the change of view in the United States and Europe . Gun reigns repeat . However, the design of fully self -loading weapon that can be adapted to the version of the sniper rifle in the 80s appeared . Ruled a reproducible yet weapon is excellent in self loading weapon in the mid- 1990s , no longer , there was no opponent of many . 1990 concern , the selection of the appropriate ammunition for the sniper rifle - 1979 appeared over the years , another important issue . The ammunition of the weapon such standard is prepared in accordance with the technical requirements , what is required when shooting with a gun excellent , it's not well suited for precision shooting , further I mean the bad focus missile . . . Use some manufacturers but do not say : rifle of us have been optimized (or other) 0.243 in. Winchester cartridge what you are using ammunition " No matter how , this is our is a proposal "
