Super Bowl Sniper - Indianapolis

I haven't used one personally either. The military only gives you the basics, but at least specialized units can add their own gear if they wish. This thing will be getting put to the test in some rough conditions relatively soon.

keep us posted friend

Kinda hard to get a beer and a hot dog way up there!

lol, hopefully he was too busy scanning to pay attention to the game or food

keep us posted friend

roger that....I'll get pics when possible, as I've seen on here a lot of guys like to hear of actual "field experience", but unfortunately command doesn't like "unwanted" pics winding up on "their" cameras

Did people cry in 2004 when this sniper watched over the Super Bowl?

did i miss something? nothing happened at that super bowl?

i think if you dig around you will find more pics

if you did a lot of digging before the game, you might have set off an internet alarm.


about the suppressor, it might be that the rifle was left in its usual configuration. like the folding bipod was left on, even though it might snag on something in that situation.


I wonder if they had a rifle set up with a night vision scope.


note the stadium picture with the labeled sections.

Anyone see any sniper's hides outside? I was looking pretty hard when I was up there. Saw what I thought might have been one, but hard to say for sure. Was about a block from the zip line going back towards the superbowl village on the top of a brick building.

No snipers inside those, just regular officers observing the crowd. Easier to observe when you are higher up.

Very gangster.

LOL at some of the FB comments.

Awesome!!

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Wow! Very cool pictures.

Awesome photos.
Super Bowl is the most watched TV event of the year. Significant opportunity if someone wanted to cause trouble.
Absolutely need these safety and security measures.

Whoever this "mystery" man is, I am glad he is watching over us.

LOL yep. He can cover me with a rifle any day

I don't know or care, but I find it really interesting to note the differences in the equipment between then and now

I thought it was the man behind the gun......not the equipment

There's a better picture of him on his Facebook page.

Very cool! I'd rather watch the crowd threw the lens of the scope any day, rather than watching the Patriots play ball. Thanks for "His" service!
