Stadium Snipers

Operators who operate in sporting event operations:

These videos do a good job making normal shooting ranges look mundane.  I wish I knew these guys so I could come take a few shots.

Interesting to see, but kind of unsettling that such snipers actually exist considering the sheer volume of people packed so tightly in the area.   I guess they are counting on the crowd dispersing around any threats such as active shooters.  I wonder if the AR-15 in the 2nd video is giggle switch equipped?

Confirmed light beer in hand; Section 18 Row 38 Seat 12.  Tango is about to take a sip. ENGAGE!

Thoughts?

“I wish I knew these guys so I could come take a few shots.”

I’m not sure if you want to shoot them with a camera or…
Nonetheless I saw on the second video at 0:48 a guy sportin’ tactical ‘stache.

And thus we now have a glimpse into how security will be handled when the Teleprompter in Chief and its human mouthpiece goes to stadiums to talk about the 99% in the 57 States this upcoming electoral year.

That looks a lot like the old Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, Fair Park area.

You know, I really think it might be..

I was thinking the same thing. Checked out the article the vids came from and it turns out it is the Cotton Bowl.

I would be more impressed if there was some Mk19 up there, I mean what if the terrorist is a really fast runner/juker; Mk19 however

Badass.

Now let’s hope we don’t go further down the police state rat hole and have snipers being a regular occurrence at stadiums.
