From typeay: Fed cop night snipers?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2XiLWgggQU

Folks, this was forwarded to me by a retired Navy SEAL. Make of it what you will. I have no data other than his comments....

This video appears to show fed agents in CONUS training with issued M4s, all equipped with PVS-14s and aimpoints, as well as suppressors, shooting on a range at night. 2 guys also are seen using IR LADs. The title of the video makes it clear they are training as night snipers. You don't patrol with PVS-14s on your rifle, you patrol with the NVD on your helmet, and use a LAD for fighting/shooting on contact. You mount the PVS-14 on your rifle for static defense, or sniping. It's clear these feds (?) are training as night snipers. Make of it what you will. Some dufus filmed it and put it on youtube, thinking nobody would be ID'd I guess.

The above link to a Marine training manual gives a lot of techniques that can be used if you encounter someone who has NVD's and you do not, which may just happen during an economic collapse, or other unpleasant scenarios...; October 3, 2009 at 4:49 PM

By the other videos (CT K9 Olympics, etc), I'd say that we have images of CT's finest, specifically Cape Cod SWAT team.

They might be (correctly) assuming that the opfor also has NV and that IR designators are just like tracers in that they work both ways.

I bet that suppressed NV with IR designators works really well to kill specific political targets in a public night rally before "a terrorist event" breaks out.

If this was the case in my AO, I'd make sure something really bright was blinding them. Magnesium parachute flares?; October 3, 2009 at 7:31 PM

III more than them said...: Funny, how at the end, we hear an individual say that they need to quit while there are ahead, and later, that they needed to get out of there. Why?; October 3, 2009 at 10:51 PM
BourneShooter said...: BTW, if that is a CT SWAT video, then those are Gemtech G-5 Suppressors.

Also, some of the stupid rules put on shooting ranges in the east - even for LE - pretty much would piss off anyone who is serious about training. 90+ percent of all gunfights take place at night. So these guys are just "training" with their tools for the job.

Sadly alot of LE hasn't read the constitution, but there are quite a few in CT on SWAT throughout the state that do.; October 4, 2009 at 12:36 AM

This is the first time I have witnessed the price under 3K for the PVS-14.

The gen 3 tubes are still superior to the Xenonics offering according to a review or two...; October 4, 2009 at 8:29 AM
typeay said...: Let's say this is indeed a police SWAT team training event. WHY would a civilian police force be equipped with suppressed weapons. (OSHA hearing safety?) Right....
Suppressed weps are used for covert ops, or assassination, neither of which is ANY police officer's domain.

Yet.; October 4, 2009 at 11:56 AM

Appears to show?

And?

This is proof of what, exactly? That the Feds are practicing at night, to take you out when you leave your house?

C'mon, get real.; October 4, 2009 at 4:38 PM

BourneShooter said...: When making an entry in a building or in an active shooter enviroment, suppressors reduce the damage to your hearing. Especially with a rifle.; October 5, 2009 at 2:43 PM
Anonymous said...: Sniping with an M-4? OK.

Feds? SS, FBI, ATFE. Everyone else just plays.

My agency just got issued M-4 type weapons and we got sixy rounds familiarization and that is it.; October 5, 2009 at 3:40 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
