Snipers nest at the Super Bowl

[OutHouse]

So the government had people pointing loaded guns at a super bowl crowd. I feel sad for America land of the free indeed!!! . Next thing you know they are reading all your emails and listening to your phone conversations.These images are very disturbing.

every phone call is captured by the NSA and examined by software looking for patterns.

Yesterday we posted photos of what appeared to be a sniper's nest in Lucas Oil Field, home of the Super Bowl, but were at a loss for the pictures' provenance. They're real, and they're basically an ad for the tripod. According to Business Insider, the photos were taken by a ranking member of the Indianpolis SWAT team, and obtained by Alamo Four Star, maker of the tripod. Alamo, in turn, shared the photos with weapons and gear supplier U.S. Tactical Supply, who posted the photos on their Facebook page with this caveat:

The stadium was not yet open when the pics were taken and the rifle never had a round in it that day. ONLY Binoculars were used for observation during the game and NOT the rifle!! It was only put into position to get the pictures of the form fit and function of the DCLW Tripod.

Oh, and for those concerned with such matters, that's a custom Remington M700 in an XLR chassis, with a U.S. Optics scope and mounted on an Alamo Four Star DCLW tripod.

lol opps.

Pretty damn sweet but why a M1A? I would think they would be using something that fires a .223 round rather than a .308.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

latin?

I would've been surprised if there was no such security detail at the event. It makes sense.

Sweet freaking rifle.

What round for unruly Patriots fan?

 

[davmat787]

He has a second one in case the first one jams?

These kind of shooters can clear a jam, with their eyes closed, quicker than they could switch to another rifle. There are drills for clearing the different types of faults for a given rifle.

That's what I thought but the barrel made me think it was a modified M1A. I guess that's a special stock for a tri-pod mount.

 

[Q]

I have a feeling that you'd be in here complaining about how the government did nothing if there was as security incident during the game. There is no pleasing some people.

QFT.
