Syria: Homemade Rifles Used by Kurdish Snipers

[Kirk Freeman]

Video of Kurdish snipers in action against Jihadis in Syrian village of Tal Abyad using homemade or partially homemade .50 USMG rifles.

Less than optimal performances but they are in the fight and attacking Obama's allies.

They will never hear again! I shot a Barrett 50. The first shot my hear muffs were in place. it still gave me a shock. My right muff moved off as I was adjusting my sight picture for my second shot. I just said OH WELL. After I pulled the trigger. I said OH SH-T. My ear hurt for 2 weeks.

All I saw was a group of guys shooting. Saw no results as claimed. Although I did like the tree stands.

It looked like they were shooting into that building and people were shooting back with automatic rifles that were far out of effective range to me. Then it looked like the people in the building either lit tires on pirpose to create a black smokescreen or the 50 caliber bullets--perhaps incindiary rounds--set a car or something on fire.

It looked like a very powerful attack to me. Three 50 cal snipers firing non stop into my area would be devistating, especially if I had no artillery, mortors, or high powered rifles that could reach them a mile away. And those trees provide an excellent platform for shooting, along with superb cover from small arms.

Respect.

May not be perfectly zeroed, but it appears ( from the flames in the distance) they were getting hits on a target that was a pretty fair distance away. It didn't seem like there were any rounds coming back at them either.
Those "home made" .50s didn't look that home made to me. That scope didnt look very home made either.

 

[tws63]

they shooting to fast for any real accuracy.
my impression is that they were just lobbing round in a general area.
