I wonder if Clive Law can copyright the name? His Service Publications book on Canadian snipers is entitled, 'Without Warning'.

All fake or set up photos.

Nobody can see a Canadian sniper let alone capture them in a photo.

Usually, if you see them, it's too late!

I never saw the use of pine needle branches as attachments to camouflage netting before. The sniper must be using rubber bands to hold them on!

Definitely staged photos based on the Tree Cancer.

 

[Cpt.Flan]

Pictures from DND for public release are mostly staged and they always respect OPSEC PERSEC.

I doubt this is an actual sniper.

P.S> Tac-50

Definitly the TAC50.
Bipod gives it away in the first pic, bolt handle confirms it in the last.

 

[skypilot]

LOL. Big Mac in a "can".

What is '' tree cancer'' ?

 

[titch--]

Someone that sets up at the base of a tree to conceal himself. When you step back and look, it looks like a blob in the side of the base of the tree. Known as tree cancer.

 

[angrysoldier]

timber wolves have a maple leaf on the front of the can. its a 50.

 

[madashell]

Staged ...

And paint the inside of the lens cap.

The rifle is an Archangel stocked Mosin Nagant the DND got for a good price off the EE ....

 

[sdtmeux]

Ok thanks . Make sense

Doubtfull as Law borrowed "without warning" from the CF snipers motto.
