Why when withdrawing, snipers can drop their guns but have to keep their sights?

Many people may think that the scope when leaving the gun is useless, so why carry it? Keeping a gun in hand can still kill the enemy for self-defense, wouldn’t it be better? But actually the sniper rifle’s scope is like a telescope, which can amplify the target. When snipers retreat, often encountering unfamiliar roads, with scopes they can observe the situation of the road ahead from a great distance. At the same time, they can also use it to observe the enemy’s movements, avoiding running around with their eyes closed.

It can be said that when fleeing, the scope is the sniper’s third eye. In addition to that, each sniper has his own habits, so the standard of the scope also has its own method. Therefore, carrying a viewfinder with you is also to avoid having to use a new and unfamiliar viewfinder.

Military soldiers lose their weapons, but snipers can give up their guns because sniper rifles are often large in size, it is not convenient to carry them with you when fleeing, only keeping the viewfinder can run quickly. than. On the other hand, a sniper rifle without a viewfinder is no different from being blind, no more than an ordinary rifle. So don’t be afraid to fall into the hands of the enemy. On the battlefield many changes happen in the blink of an eye, when in a dangerous moment it is necessary to stay calm, as a sniper requires even more composure. The removal of the gun only to keep the glasses, in fact, it is only intended to reduce casualties.

It is worth noting that the development of modern science has made many weapons more powerful, but snipers are still indispensable in combat. Because there are some important missions that don’t need large scale sabotage, just need precise attack, such as assassination. An elite sniper in war not only has to accept the task of destruction, but in some complicated situations also has to do a reconnaissance mission, which can be said to be very effective.

Usually snipers operate in secret, in normal situations they will be accompanied by an observer, but in some situations they will fight alone. Snipers hid in a tight place and then opened fire to kill people at a distance of hundreds of meters. Of course, there are times when snipers are discovered, at which point they need to immediately withdraw.
