Books & more: Compact Sniper Knowledge

"Sniper" is a term that has become established with us as a result of the civil war in the Balkans. Here it was a word of fear for the hit that seemingly comes out of nowhere. The German word "Scharfschütze" sounds almost harmless in comparison.

The book by Stefan Strasser introduces the world of military and police snipers from a practical perspective, it is actually a "manual". From the knowledge of weapons - which ammunition and which optics - to the art of camouflage and tactical aspects of sniper deployment, everything is really compactly compiled here. 316 extremely informative, dense and well-illustrated pages await the reader who wants to delve into the work of the sniper.

"Sniper: Military and police sniper knowledge compact" by Stefan Strasser, 317 pages, Ares Verlag 2009. The book is available in bookstores or on Amazon for Euro 29.90.
