After firing one you could stomp across a field of light bulbs hit the dude with a hammer and he'd never hear you coming.

They're IR chemlights, looks like the mini versions. Good for marking locations on the go. And the PEQ is for aiming that bad boy in the dark. Can't really see the sights all that well while using PVS-31's. They will most definitely not be leaving the empty tube behind if used. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: Good question. Looks like they're on the other shoulder too and he's not the only one with them. IR Chemlight maybe? 3" IR chemlights. Less LR output, easier to carry, and they dont glow visible if you accidentally crack an externally mounted one. I usually have a dozen or so of those, some reds, a green/blue, and a baggie of 1.5" chemlights in IR and red.  Originally Posted By airmandaniel: And the PEQ is for aiming that bad boy in the dark.

Two good twists with a multitool flathead and the PEQ comes off, tube stays. I would even consider prestaging the tool with the screwdriver out already. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 58Teague: Suppressed AK-74M in the Hands of Xhemati Alban. This rifle is used in the close range precision role in a manner similar to ISIS' 5.56 platforms- hence the PK-01VS Mid Range optic. https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/SuppressedAK74M.png Evidence of suppression of battle rifles or designated marksman rifles such as the G3, FAL, or M14 is sparse, even though such platforms are reasonably common in the Syrian/Iraqi conflicts, and all of which would be of use in the theatres that militant and other armed groups in the Middle East operate in. Some of this scarcity may be down to the use of longer barreled intermediate caliber platforms such as the RPK or Tabiq Kalashnikov versions, or the M16A4 in the designated marksman role, which is both possible and easier in the close range enviroments- both Urban and Natural that occur so often in battlegrounds such as Latakia, Aleppo and Afrin. There is, however a few examples that appear to use essentially identical suppressors to those used on intermediate-calibre assault rifle platforms but scaled upwards. This is obviously necessary as a reflection of the larger, full size cartridge. These have seen use in particular on PSL, SVD and FAL rifles. A heavily modified SVD Dragunov on sale in #Idlib recently; with a PKT barrel, new gas block, stock and pistol grip plus suppressor (unseen) and POSP optic. Mods are intended to improve ergonomics & accuracy. (I had to combine two images, sorry if it looks a little disjointed) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Env9tU0XMAI_E7F?format=jpg&name=medium LMA fighters in #Idlib with Fortuna One 3M/6M mounted on a suppressed FN FAL Para. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Edyw-D5WAAESZWE?format=jpg&name=medium The utility of suppressed Precision/Bolt Action Rifles in Syria etc is currently clearer to me than that of assault rifles, as the use of the latter is often sporadic and someonewhat negated by unsuppressed platforms in use by the users' collegues. I haven't seen this in the case of long range platforms- partially, I suspect to scarcity of use, and also the more solitary nature of their use. These rifles are much less likely to be next to/be made obvious to the enemy by unsuppressed platforms as the sniper operates comparatively alone. Suppression of Precision/Bolt Action Rifles in Syria and Iraq is rarer than those of Assault Rifles and Pistols, but is shown in some fair detail by Xhemati Alban, a small Albanian subgroup of HTS. A documentary-style video was released in early August 2018 showing the use and manufacture of suppresssor for Mosin-Nagant rifles, amongst other things. (The video is highly interesting, I noted some details in a Twitter thread). They also show spotters and non-sniping members of the squad utilising suppressed AK-74M platforms, which is likely to be far more tactically useful than mixed squads that is seen so often in general HTS forces. https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/SuppressorManufacture2.png https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/SuppressorManufacture1-3.jpg Suppressed Mosin in Custom Chassis https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/Cinematic2.png https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/OverallView-1.jpg Improvised Suppressor Cover https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/SuppressorCov.jpg The below Mosin-Nagant pattern rifle for sale is highly similar to the Xhemati Alban rifles- so much so I'd suggest that their manufacturing capabilities are perhaps not as impressive as first impressions may leave you. Suppressed Bolt-Action Rifles have also been seen for sale, namely the Mosin-Nagant and the SSG 69, both of which are popular rifles in Syrian Opposition circles. The SSG 69 is dramatically more expensive- as a superior rifle- which is the most likely explanation for the use of modified/improvised Mosin-Nagant platforms. Both would serve their purpose when not operating at extreme range and with correct ammunition. This may be a challenge, as in Iraq and Syria it's known that ammuntion destined for GPMGs is often used in the precision role. (Such as Standard 7.62x51mm ball cartridges being used by ISOF Forces, as opposed to match/sniper ammunition). A Syrian-run opposition account claims that 7.62x54r Ammunition more suited to precision use is more readily available than 7.62x51mm in the DMR context, but this would also apply for bolt-action rifles. $500 USD, December 2017 https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/mosincamo.jpg A rebarrelled suppressed Mosin Nagant for Sale- Idlib, July 2018 https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/RebarrelledMosin.jpg Steyr SSG 69 for Sale, Idlib, July 2018. $2200 https://www.calibreobscura.com/content/images/2018/08/Stery2.jpg 7.62x54r still works, the adaptations of their small arms is astounding. |
