Product Description
The Vietnam War marked the first time that the U.S. military brought together trained snipers, custom rifles, telescopic sights, special ammunition and sound suppressors, and employed them successfully in combat. This work focuses on a small but significant aspect of modern military history: the army sniper program, the fielding of the XM21 sniper rifle and the Adjustable Ranging Telescope, and the combat application of sound suppression devices for rifles and special carbines.

Excellent historical and technical detailed account July 26, 2001
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This complete and heavily illustrated account of the military development of the role of long range soldiers,equipment and tactics was the best I have seen on this subject. The review of the efforts and trials of various hardware items and the reported outcome from the field were included. Nearly every variant of gun, scope and night vision device was detailed in selection, trials, users choices in which worked best. The exhaustive review of telescopic sights and mounts was highly appreciated. Anyone reading this book will have a high appreciation for those involved in the sniping sciences and arts during the war.
