After re reading Sniper 1 and No Way Out , I thought both of these situations should have been massive massacres of the British army however no one told the soldiers this . After fighting for days weeks etc on short rations and manpower they performed miracles and sent many a martyr on an early trip to the garden of eden bless 'em .
However i noticed similar occurrences during the both fierce battles . Its the case of the enemy machine guns and suppression therof , i was a sapper so wasn't allowed to get hurt so i have no idea of tactics .
The Taliban placed their MGs in open locations on various occasions loosing gun team after gun team trying to keep them going .
What I wondered was .... are snipers trained to use AP to kill the gun as well as the gunner ? I haven't ever read of a sniper destroying MG or mortar tubes thusly ?
Is it not done or am i being too much of an armchair General . From regs to TA when training on the KarleyG i could never get th e infantry lads to "kill" the gunner first and not the tracks .
