Beim bild mit dem Nachtsichtgerät sieht man schön wie das halbe gesicht duch die Brille leuchtet. Klar ist das durch die lange Belichtungszeit stärker hervorgehoben.
Allerdings war es auf ner Übung, die wir mit den Ranger hatten so, dass wir sie einfacher in der dunkelheit erkennen konnten als sie uns. Und das obwohl nur sie nachtsichtgeräte hatten und wir nur an die nacht gewöhnt waren.
Gute Technik ist nicht in absolut jeder Situation von Vorteil....

[Dave76]

[...] die wir mit den Ranger hatten so, [...]

Tatsächlich 75th Ranger Regiment oder 'lediglich' ein paar Ranger qualified guys?

Beim nächtlichen unentdeckten "Spazieren durch den Wald" hab ichs mal so gelernt dass nie alle ständig die Lucie runtergeklappt haben sollten. Einerseits weil man das Leuchten erkennen kann, aber auch weil man selber dadurch quasi blind ist wenn man sie hochklappt und es dauert bis man sich an die Dunkelheit gewöhnt.

^ Ahh, okay, nice. Das Regiment hat sich post 9/11 ganz schön weiterentwickelt.

Ja war schon krass.
Kurz vor den Anschlägen waren wir mit Ihnen auf übung und in Grafenwör und paar wochen später kamen im TV videoaufnahmen von dem Nacht-Absprung in A-Stan mit genau den Leuten mit denen man 2 Wochen lang in einer Baracke gewohnt hat....

The Bitch
Nickname to this rather unassuming FAL rifle. During the Vietnam War the FAL saw use with Australian troops as well as the SAS. Some rifles were modified at the base to better adapt to the thick jungle battlefield; The Bitch was the result. A shortened barrel and gas system, M16 flash hider and was reconverted to full-auto. This particular example is one of the only ones left from the Vietnam War, now residing at an Australian military base for training purposes. It’s serial number? AD006BEAST. This was done by the field gunsmith. Source: gunrunnerhell

Mit einem Repetierer aus der Hüfte Sperrfeuer schießen...

Den Bildern und Video's nach schießen die Rebellen eh meistens nur in die vermutete Richtung des Feindes (Scharfschützen). Außerdem sieht es für die Presse doch viel "cooler" aus.

[Dave76]

Nur mal so am Rande: Die Bilderreihe, auf die ihr euch bezieht, stammt aus dem Libanon, nicht aus Syrien. Unter den syrischen Rebellen gibt es durchaus Einige, die auch durch den gezielten Schuß auffallen und nicht nur Sperrfeuer aus der Hüfte 'gen vermuteten Feind ballern. Dazu einfach mal die letzten Seiten durchblättern...
