Sniper Rifle: Modified APS-2 SV
The scenario was a modified version of the Rescue scenario at the Scenario page. A Special Operations team were to rescue a hostage of high stature from some Russian terrorists. There were three SpecOps and three Russians. I was the team's (we were the SpecOps) sniper and Travis (The Cleaner, as you may know him) was the commander and some fat guy was another operative. I was equipped with my APS-2 Sniper Version with custom internals, a 300% spring, Harris L Bi-Pod, a "Super" Sling, an aluminum sound suppressor, a 6.03mm barrel, a custom camo job by a gunsmith, and a Simmons 3-9X50mm variable scope (the same one Travis has). Travis had an MP5A5 with a sound suppressor (borrowed it from one of his bother's friends for this game), and the fat guy had a GBB Colt Government 1911. Actually, Travis had gotten mad at me early in the game for not letting his use my SV, but I had let him use it most of the day earlier. The other team (terrorists) had a sniper (actually, he had Calvin's SSG 550 with a scope and bi-pod) positioned in a fort with the hostage. He had a clear view of the field in front of him, but behind him were woods with a path that led to the fort. two partols were on opposite ends on the field, further making the operation difficult. We had to rescue the hostages and take the fort w/o alerting the partols/having the hostage killed. We started at the bottom of the field in a well vegetated area with a forest on both sides of us. The fort was about 100 yards away, with a few trees and Travis's house in the way, but other than that, it was clear. So, if we would have gone straight for the fort, the sniper would have picked us off. The patrols were a slight problem: even if we approached from a slight angle, we were bound to run into one of them, and I had only been given two rounds, and Travis had one clip, as well as the fat guy. So, we decided to go through forest beside the fort, therefore making the approach safer, but longer, due to the curve. It was a sacrifice that our commander was willing to take. So, we made it to the start of the path that would lead us to the fort. Travis send me to a spot in the field where there was a patch of trees, and they would go through the tree line up the path, and get in position. However, we were halted by a patrol, who was about 80 yards off. He was too far away for his gun to reach us, but, when he DID get in range, he could shoot farther than the MP5. So, before he got close enough (he stopped abruptly to begin to call for backup) I leveled my rifle on a tree branch. I had my rifle zeroed at 80 yards (I do most of my hits at around 80 yards, and I taught Travis how to zero), so this would be no problem. However, I aimed an inch above his head, just to be sure. The reticles were leveled correctly, and I pulled the trigger. I low whoomp sound, like a hand punching a pillow, was made, and the terrorist (Shane, Travis's little bro who had a G3) went down before he could even radio. He fell to the ground as I chambered the next round. They continued on, being about twenty yards away from me.
It began to rain. We were in position, having no trouble reaching the designated strike zone. I had made my way through the woods behind the fort. Travis and the other operative were at the edge of the path, waiting for my shot. The other terrorist was only armed with an M11, and we were sure he was down where we started. No worries. I crept up slowly through the woods, and found a good spot with nice cover. I layed in a prone position, and flipped out the bi-pod. I was fifty yards away from the sniper terrorist. I adjusted the elevation/windage knobs accordingly. I positioned my eye about three inches away from the scope. I could only see the silouhette, for the sun was beginning to set. I waited. It was hard to see, but I spotted his head, the only visible body part over the fort walls. I eased back on the trigger. The pellet struck him in the head, and he fell back after cussing.

After that game, he said he had no idea where I was and was pretty scared, because he claimed that I was good. But, he also thought that the patrols had gotten us, too. Shane stated that he saw my gun just as the pellet hit him. Those were really pleasing comments to hear.Smurfett
