PART 2:[/B]

Scenario:
You’ve been assigned to assassinate a general who’s been spotted in a local French town, with a low key of guard. This could be a trap, which is why a one man team - You, has been sent in to assess and even eliminate the target. However, he’s supposed to be in disguise as a normal soldier, to prevent attraction, so you must keep a keen eye out and see if you can spot the target…

- Designated Marksman Correct!


How much further can a DMR hit than an Assault rifle?
- 300 meters It’s actually 500 Meters / 550 Yards


A Bipod should be folded which way?
Correct, I was just looking for “Folded Forwards” Away from the Gunner; But with an added description, your answer is more than valid.
-Not sure what you are looking for here but I'll just list all of it, folded downward at a 45 degree angle, with the two ends, that rest on whatever surface, if you drew a line between them would run perpendicular to the rifle


What is a 7.62x51mm and whom is it standard amongst?
Correct (To an extent). Yes it is a bullet and it was manufactured in the 1950’s (after the war); Predominately being used amongst NATO countries and the US. Russian originality? I haven’t seen anything about.
- It is a bullet, a quite effective one might I add, now a days it is standard amoungst almost everyone but has a Russian originallity, the civilain caliber, at least in the US is the .308


Where can the “Pinion Assembly” be found on a sniper rifle?
Correct, it can be found adjacent/on to the rifle-sight.
- in the rear sight assembly


The Soviet Union designed a very popular DMR, can you name this popular DMR?
(Not WWII Orientated)
Correct; The Dragunov (SVD Rifle)
- the Dragonov


The DM increases squad range to how far?
Correct; 800M / 870YDs.
- 800 meters


True Snipers (Not DM) use field-craft for what main purpose?
Incorrect; Recon? It is used for recon, but you failed to specify Field-Craft would ideally be used to camouflage the recipient (ghillie suit), survival needs (vegetation, building shelter, etc… boy scout stuff) and so forth.
- Recon


Lyudmila Pavlichenko had how many recorded with a sniper? During WWII?
Correct, she did indeed have a confirmed and recorded 309 kills.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTIONS:

What building would you choose [may pick any on the south side of the river]?
Correct; You would choose the building with less activity.
- Marked by a red circle, out of the way, most clear line of site, not as many civilains to shoot around


Think you’ve found your target [if any]?
Correct; You’ve named two possible targets. Both of which could be officers.
- Marked by yellow "X"s

Why do you think that’s your target [If you’ve picked one]?
Correct; You have successfully pointed out the “Two Guard” protection I was expecting.
- inside of cover, and has two guards and an easy escape route


Do you have a clear shot to eliminate the target [If you’ve picked one]?
Incorrect; Your bullet could possibly make the impact through all the blockading objects, but this would alert and ruin your window for any other shots. Hence leaving the target, possibly alive. Which would ruin the mission.
- on the rear one, yes, that bullet can penetrate that guard, that window, that target and still possibly have enough force to make it through the wall, the front one, not so much


Do you decide to eliminate the target or pull out [If you’ve picked one or not]?
Correct; You would pull out.
- I'm gonna have to say pull out


Why…? [Describe why you’ve either eliminated your target or pulled out]
Correct; You have no precise shot, you haven’t a photograph to determine the face of your target and further more, you’re in French & German occupied territory.
- I'm not sure which one he is, I'm around a lot of enemies, soldiers and civilians and I'm alone


You have shown knowledge and expertise regarding the field of combat, both regarding Solo and Grouped activities in the field of combat; By answering numerous questions such as Designated Marksman (Squad Marksman / Grouped Activity) and fore playing a solo mission, in which you have appointed out the possible threats of being alone, the greater intelligence you’d need and so forth -- All of which, show you will make a great marksman, both working with comrades in the field and working alone.

You have successfully achieved this certificate and I do hope you take all the necessary precautions you’ve learnt here, away with you when forthcoming into combat alone or with a party. I would also like to promote you to SS-Scharführer (Staff Sergeant), due to the expertise you’ve displayed, I’m also happy to contribute half of the CP towards your next weaponry (presumably a rifle or sniper rifle).

So once you’ve purchased your rifle, please notify me.
This is just my little way of saying thank you for achieving a valuable certification, in heed of strengthening the Fatherland’s rein of glory in this unpredictable time.
