Both members can perform either role and often rotate between the two. The sniper fires the shot while the spotter assists in observation of targets, atmospheric conditions and handles security of their immediate location and communication with other parties, including directing artillery fire and close air support . The spotter detects, observes, and assigns targets and watches for the results of the shot. Using his spotting scope , he will also read the wind by using physical indicators and the mirage caused by the heat on the ground. Also, in conjunction with the shooter, he will accurately make calculations for distance, angle shooting slant range , Angular mil mil dot related calculations, correction for Atmospheric sciences atmospheric conditions and leads for moving targets. It is not unusual for the spotter to be equipped with a notepad and a laptop computer specifically for performing these calculations. He also provides the team security, therefore he is usually armed with an assault rifle . It is often the case that the sniper rifle is assigned exclusively to a single person, therefore in the case of rotation the spotter carries two weapons. Some military doctrines describe a third member known as the flanker. His task is to have observed areas not visible to the sniper or spotter and assist with the team s rear security.

Sniper is a ballad written by Harry Chapin and first released on the album Sniper and Other Love Songs in 1972. Overview The 9 minute, 55 second song is based on the Charles Whitman 1966 University of Texas shooting with some fictional accounts taken. In the song, the actual sniper , Charles Whitman , is not mentioned by name nor is the location revealed. The victims names have also been changed. The song begins with a man climbing tower on a university campus and begins shooting at people on the streets below. Throughout the song, the time signature changes several times, with variations in tempo. The beginning describes the sniper walking climbing the stairs of the tower, two bulky suitcase s hang from his hands. The song alternates between this fast, tense intro and slower, more retrospective sections, including interviews with people who had known the sniper from classes or around town. Finally, a section describes the poor relation between the sniper and his mother, who had ignored him as a child. In the end, the sniper is killed by a SWAT team which has climbed the tower. The snipers last words, I was, I am, and now I will be lend insight into the psychology of the sniper, who has been on a lifelong quest for self actualization .

Beretta 501 Sniper is an Italian made sniper rifle. Introduced in 1985, it was originally intended for military and police use. Eventually, it became a sporting rifle, but it has now been discontinued and it has been replaced by Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum rifles. Nowadays, this rifle is very rare, and there are very few in the United States. It is a rotating bolt action rifle with a 23 inch barrel, which is rather uncommon. Beretta chose to use this barrel length because it benefitted the weapon s 7.62mm NATO .308 Win. cartridge. It weighs approximately 5.56kg without any mounted scope or magazine. The rifle also uses a 5 round magazine and is about 1165mm in length.
