Dodged death 3 times last night

[xfreidax]

You should have ran in a zig zag pattern. Prone or switch directions every 3 seconds. Until you find cover.

[Havoc10K]

wait a minute !
such close range + sniping riffle = 3 misses ?
he must have been smashed drunk lol or just saying "get off my lawn !", no matter how dark it is, you cant possibly miss from a sniping riffle from THAT range unintentionally
you weren't lucky that he missed you 3 times, you were lucky he had a good eye.

things to do when you're a snipers target:
1-duck
2-if you have a cell phone, call cops
3-DO NOT FUCKING MOVE AN INCH FROM YOUR COVER ! EVER ! the sniper always waits for you to move, and plans a set of patterns from which way you will run out so he will snipe you the second he sees you.
4-If you feel lucky or are on death's roll, write a last will testament, so when you are stupid enough to outrun a sniper ON A BRIDGE WITHOUT REAL COVER at least you will leave a will saying you were stupid enough to run,

the guy obviously wanted to scare the shit out of you, and you should have reported this to authorities, if you didn't you are more of an idiot that guy is, in any country, having a working long firearm is illegal, and punishable with at least 5 years of prison.

more like "get off my bridge", lol.

I caught it on my phone

that dude doesn't seem to aim at you after all  

---

he is my advice on this serious experience!!

(1) give him a bigger target : don't walk alone. prefer a friend taller/bigger than you are. don't leave room for confusion!

(2) wear a wig : look like a charming women or like an old hag. snipers don't shoot women!

(3) walk slowly, very slowly : snipers don't shoot boring targets, keep the pace until out of range! (1-2 km)

(4) camouflate (verb) : that seems to be busy road. wear cloths that resemble a "tire" for instance, roll on the bridge - don't attempt to walk. "Tires roll".

(5) don't go over the bridge : go under the bridge if possible, stay out of sight!

(6) carry your own sniper rifle : prove that you are a possible friend, sharing common interest. don't point the gun at his house, ever!

[Havoc10K]

or, become friends with Accelerator/Railgun

you can also discourage snipers with "I'm your target" sign over your head, obvious trap is obvious

[Meomix]

You need to contact the cops ASAP. If you still haven't, then you need to do so now. Because someone else's life can be taken if that killer is still on the loose.

can you imagine if the "supposed" shooter was a baka member as well.   i am only making light of the situation because i am highly dubious.
not sure how laws work in Norway; but if true- you should report it to the police.. as in a roundabout way you are an accessory to any future
endeavors your supposed killer may engage in.

Are you serious!? Gaaah the airplane crashes and now this.

What he doesn't understand is how can you even make such an absurd claim.

[datora]

.

An excuse like that makes me want to invalidate your whole story.

Feel free to believe so, its true though. Im still pretty shocked, i'd never think anything like that would happen to me.

Also, the reason i cant be arsed calling the cops is that its just.. so much easier to just sit infront of my computer and just forget about the whole thing. If i call the cops there will be alot of work, explaining stuff and pointing out where the guy lives....

A) I don't find your story credible.

B) If this is true, and this your attitude, it's a damned shame he didn't off you.  You don't deserve to be walking around in a civilized society,

To not immediately report this to the police is a crime, no matter what the letter of the law requires of you in your country.  If someone had taken a shot at me, I'd be so pissed off that I'd have to calm down for a week just to be utterly fucked off.  Anything and everything that I could do to get that piece of shit locked up or dead would be on the table, and not necessarily in that order.

You are either a liar or a coward, neither of which is mutually exclusive.

[Havoc10K]

yeah ok I just talked with him on PM, I forgot you can have a shotgun under the pillow in the states and canada, however, a Sniping Riffle is a military grade weapon so even that should be illegal for civilians, I think at least, it is illegal in the europe at the very least, in Poland, getting a pistol is hard enough (legally).

[JoonasTo]

HAHAHAHAAH!
You're quite off the chart here.

You know the world's two best anti-person sniping rifles Sako TRG-44 and ASW are commercially to everyone who wants to buy. And it's not like you could actually distinquish between a high grade sniper rifle and a normal hunting rifle unless you specifically examine the barrel and even then the difference isn't that big. There's no way to distinquish them from few meters away unless you know the specific weapon.

One of the most used heavy anti-material semi-auto sniping rifles, Barrett M82A1 is commercially available to anyone who wants to buy it. It can and will shoot through 15mm of armor steel from 500m.

And getting a pistol license is harder than getting a rifle license because it's concealable.

Get educated before making wild quesses.

I've forgotten which country you're in (in fact, I rarely pay attention in this forum ... I just take users at face value for the most part).

I can speak to the U.S., though.  You can own some very impressive military grade gear quite legally without any registration.  Generally speaking, if you have no criminal record that prevents you from owning a weapon, it is legal for you to have one.

There are restrictions on certain types, like full-automatic, or really impressive stuff like .50 cal stuff designed to pierce car engines, or "sawed-off" long arms made into concealable weapons.  Also, carrying and using weapons have restrictions, such as carrying concealed, or carrying in a car on on your person fully loaded and ready to go ... each state has it's own regulations, and many cities have more regulations.

Usually, if it is small enough to carry concealed (under about 16"-18"), you tend to require a license for it, or it might be outright banned.

However, in the U.S., generally speaking, you can own 50 or a hundred guns of many sizes and calibers, some for hunting, some for target shooting, shotguns, long guns, guns geared out to snipe ... and you don't necessarily require any license.

I have about ten myself, none of which are registered or recorded anywhere, mostly shotguns and rifles.  One rifle is .30-06 caliber and modified for very precise match-grade target shooting and hunting; I've shot smallish apples out at 300 meters with it.  Keeping them loaded inside my house is perfectly legal in my state, and I can use them against an intruder, perfectly legal.

A cousin of mine has an unregistered, military issue AK-47 which has been modified to disable full-automatic fire, and has a scope on it good for very precise ~150 meter range.  He keeps it (along with a 19" sawed-off 20 gauge shotgun) in his bedroom for self-defense (to "keep his options," as he says).  Perfectly legal in his state.

Anyway, just FYI.

[Soryon]

In the US you can legally procure just about any firearm you want with two exceptions.
1) Felons cant own guns
2) Unless you have the proper license you cant own fully automatic weapons. That is not to say a non military affiliated civilian cant take the proper steps needed to possess one.

Many states are also adopting a concealed carry law now as well, enabling you to walk around in public with a sidearm.
When I used to live in the city I had 2 pistols in my apartment (357 and a 45.) Never had to use them but certain places its better to be safe then sorry.

edit- Whee, I just realized datora hit those points b4 me =(

[Havoc10K]

well here in Poland, you can't have a long firearm unless you have the proper licence for it, like a soldier or a special police officer that has such a licence, you can have a semi-auto gun, but not full auto, if I remember correctly, you need to show your licence for the gun you want to buy ammo for as well, weapon restrictions are very strict in Poland, which we so do prefer, at the very least we don't have school shootouts by students like in USA and some other countries that don't have strict law regarding weapons, I think Japan has it very similar to Poland in regard of having a legal weapon (firearm) or side arms, of curse, procuring an illegal weapon is insanely easy, not to say piss easy, even high grade military long fire arms, hell I know where to go to get Barrett M82A1, the anti-material, I love this gun, seriously, this baby gives a serious punch ( I fired it at military practice on a disabled tank, oh baby, it felt so good I even run around with that shit in Fallout : Las Vegas, the best gun after Gauss Riffle )

well at least in Poland it's near impossible to civilians to acquire high grade military weapons, getting a concealable gun became even harder after an incident from a few weeks ago.

[JoonasTo]

AK-47 ain't accurate to anything beyond 1cm of the barrel mouth. Believe me I've carried one far too many thousand kilometers and shot far too many bullets with it to know. It isn't designed for that. You could say effective shooting distance is around 250m or so. That's around where you'll start missing a man with double shots or three shot bursts due to the gun's inaccuracy alone.

It is magnificently reliable though. Besides of the lock breaking due to wear only one broke(the trigger cracked from the inside, neglecting auto fire.) That was one out of thousand in service inside a year in our brigade. I didn't have a single jam in it, neither did any of my team mates or any other guy who knew how to spot a bad magasine.

PS. You don't need a scope for 150m, We shot to 300m with ironsights, no problem. That's 1/4th of the target size it is in 150m. And I know guys who can nail perfect tens with every shot out of five, assuming they're shooting at a regular 30cm target, that means the 10 ring is 6cm wide. I'll give it to them, they're fucking geniouses at that. I could never reach that. But I can shoot 300m with ironsights and hit the target no problem.

PPS. Rifles and Assault rifles are boring, pistols, smgs and machine guns where it's at.  

PPPS. You need a license for every gun here and full auto ones aren't allowed unless they're small caliber and meant for the tactical shooting sport thingy.

PPPPS. In japan it is illegal to own a gun.

[Havoc10K]

AK-47 is actually freaking me out wit hit's reliability, even when it's loaded with sand that shit ain't jamming, pinnacle of suppressing fire lol
if you have a good grip you can be accurate with it, but it has indeed a large burst range, good for suppressing enemies.

[psychodude]

And here you can already get a hefty fine if you carry a realistic looking toy gun on you :p. What a strange world we live in, lol.

[Z-Bot]

In my state (US) I can legally own up to two (but no more than two) bipedal tanks.

Although I only own a life-size fully-functional (including railgun) Metal Gear Rex clone, I plan on adding a Gundam to that list in the near future 

P.S. I'm full of shit

[JoonasTo]

It's just that the AK- 47 mechanism isn't exactly designed to be accurate. All of the parts are loose on purpose. So it won't matter if there's sand, snow, ice or squirrels inside. But that's what kills the accuracy and makes it a tricky weapon to shoot well. You have to know how to lock the magasine with your arm, compensate little for the gas working loader, little things. The loose mechanism and gas loading means it' won't chamber a round accurately. They won't be in the exact same position and that means the hit ring is larger. There's great variety in the quality of AKs. I've seen some that have a hit ring of 2cm and some with 4cm(When they are new!). That's friggin double! So it's luck if you get a good one or a shitty one.

What's funny is that I shoot best with full auto. 50m, standing, five shot bursts I nail all inside the 8 ring in a 50cm target.

I'm also proprotionally better with pistols than rifles. I'm actually pretty good with pistols. Always have been. No idea why. I do really well, better than 99%, with assault rifles on full auto or bursts but I'm not so good with normal rifles or assault rifles on single.


But who gives a shit about AKs lousy accuracy, 99% of the time you're going to be shooting under 250m anyways. And up to that point it's frigging glorious weapon. I'd have a gun that works over a gun that hits better but doesn't work as well anyday.


PS. For supressing enemies AK is good if you have at least three guys. The trick is to have one guy go full auto 10 round bursts while two shoot two round bursts. You'll nail 'em and they'll keep their head down because they think there's more.
But for serious suppressing fire it sucks. It's got too lousy balance and too small magasine for that. A drum magasine corrects the latter but the 7.62 soviet is a heavy round(compared to 5.56 nato, for example) that bucks a lot so the gun would need heavier mechanism or more weight for it to be good for any serious suppressive fire.
