February 22, 200521 yr This is what the Ultimate Sniper Combo would look like in FA, hvy everything plus M82: I think this is an EOD guy in Iraq, either that or a really pimped out sniper. This dude could walk down the street of any city in iraq and just take out the insurgents as they try and pierce his armor.
February 22, 200521 yr awesome! why would EOD need a sniper rifle... m4 would be more accurate... maybe hes just special =]
February 22, 200521 yr that is EOD armor or possibly threat lvl III gloves wont matter if yo uneed that armor
February 22, 200521 yr I'd hate to be that guy. "Why do I need all this armor?" "Just... go out there and shoot stuff." *walks into room of 50 baddies* "Uhh..."
February 22, 200521 yr *click* new desktop background hmm.....maybe he is just an anti-vehicular sniper.....maybe he needs lots of protection for that (I would think so).....and he does have a rifle capable of taking out vehicles. Thats my guess.
February 22, 200521 yr LOL, it's more like some EOD guy screwing around. "Hey guys, let's freak the marines out! We'll tell them this is standard sniper issue!" Edit: Or it's just what we need in CS:S! The CT picks off the rushers with his auto-snipe, an then has extra armor to defuse the bomb faster then a T can kill him
February 22, 200521 yr Author yeah, its my desktop too. SOCK: Id feel sorry for the 50 baddies, .50BMG armor piercing, explosive, incendiary rounds (all in one!), depending on the skill of the marksman, it would be a pretty messy confrontation. Especially since the barrett is quickly reloaded! FINNER: The M82 is designed for ant-material sniping at distances closing in on a mile, so I think it might be more accurate than the m4. Also, Im pretty sure he is EOD since they sometimes use rifles to set off ordance and God knows there is enough unexploded ordance in iraq to blow the country to smithereens. Im having my friend photoshop up the pic a little, so its sexier and of better looking.
February 22, 200521 yr EOD use the 50 BMG to destroy unexploded ordinance from a distance. I didnt think they suited up like that though...must be something big about to go BOOM.
February 22, 200521 yr Author Even though Cop is right, I think its much cooler to imagine this: The Lone Soldier saunters down mainstreet Ramadi at high noon, the sun glaring off his visor, the streets deserted save the occasional tumbleweed.... Suddenly a terrorist pops out of an alley, RPG poised to fire BLAM!, hes vaporized in a reddish mist. Then another pokes his head out of a window, KAPOW! He gets the Icabod Crane treatment. All of the sudden, 5 more come running out of nowhere firing their AK-47's wildly. 7.62mm rounds glance harmlessly off the Lone Soldier's armor, his eyes are narrowed and his glare is steely as he calmly takes a knee. Three echoing blasts ring out, shattering nearby windows and kicking up motes of dust and sand. Three terrorists fall over, a single shell having blown through each one in rapid succession, a gaping hole where each's abdomen once was. The other two are blown to flaming piles of goo as the explosive/incendiary shells detonate inside of them. The Lone Soldier calmly thumbs the magazine release, the clatter of the magazine of the concrete echoing on the once again deserted streets. Calmly he loads another mag, and walks off in search of fresh meat. Much cooler, IMHO
February 22, 200521 yr Im having my friend photoshop up the pic a little, so its sexier and of better looking. Post that after he is done, please

February 23, 200521 yr trust me i def know my weapons, ive never seen an EOD guy us a barrett lite .50 to set sometihng off before.... it will more than do that job
February 23, 200521 yr Author check what Statecop said, he verified that they use Barett lites to set off ordnance. Heck, I know its just a game, but in AA, you qualify on the .50 by shooting out mortar rounds. "The M82A1 is known for US Military as the SASR - "Special Applications Scoped Rifle", and it was and still is used as an anti-materiel weapon and EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) tool" found this on the web as well
February 23, 200521 yr Actully hes armour is VERY heavy and with all the stuff on hes face he wouldent be able to shoot the gun rapidly and accuratly. It wouldent be a pretty site if he would be ambushed.. Not even a best sniper would be able to walk in the street and shoot people that come out if the corner+ he have a M82 and all the heavy minecleaning equipment. I think that he is just posing for this pic. i dont know about them but i would use satchel charges to blow up EOD.
February 23, 200521 yr Author I just wrote that little mini story because it sounded cool, I know its not accurate at all. Snauhi is probably right, but I know for a fact that the Barrett is anti-material/EOD weapon, not an anti-personal rifle. The guy probably is just posing, but still, it looks pretty sweet.
February 23, 200521 yr Kol_Klink']Imagine there's no countires It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too. Imagine all the people Living life in peace! John Lennon a perfect circle made a cover of that song, both are great, i recommend it to anyone
February 23, 200521 yr he's probably cooking in that thing... and yeah, it's pretty fun he's got no gloves. also, how could you use that for a desktop? I can't even see that looking good when stretched to 800x600
