POTD: Brazilian Snipers in Fuerzas Comando 2022

Every day we run an article called Photo Of The Day with some of the coolest pictures from the world of firearms. Today we have images from Fuerzas Comando 2022 on offer, with Brazilian snipers.

Fuerzas Comando is a Special Operation skills competition and a senior leader seminar supported by SOCSOUTH. The competition enhances SOF regional cooperation and exchanges best practices to combat transnational crime and counter illicit activities.

When will semi autos completely replace bolt action sniper rifles?

  @donotcomplain Probably never. So long as we continue to rely on our current style of small arms cartridges.

  @donotcomplain Probably never due to institutional inertia.

  @donotcomplain They pretty much have in .308/7.62 but in larger calibers, there isn't currently much of a need. Anything requiring a greater rate of fire would be in the range of the n.o.2's semi. Even suppressed, a .338 LM in semi will begin knocking the crap out of the n.o.1. pretty rapidly.
  Currently regardless if it's a bolt or semi, it's going to spend most of its time in a drag bag or strapped to a pack. The only reason to drop a bolt gun for a semi in those bigger cal's is more about the flexibility of the platform than just having one as an option. Its not till the semi is light enough (whilst retaining all accuracy and consistency standards) to remove the need for the sniper to carry a primary/patrol rifle on top of their long rifle.
