This is nice but for a few things.
I was a sniper in Nam. 1972 last of the LRRPs before we all bugged out late November 1972 when our mission was called off.
Snipers never push their weapon into the open. Your shooter should be further back in the building. Fire through the opening. Don't push the barrel past the opening. It exposes you from the flanks.
And if my spotter was sitting like that I would be kicking his ass all over. His job is to cover me not take a break!
I write about here on Deviant.
Also how did these guys keep their uniforms so fresh? Mine was wet from the humidity on day one. I looked like a baggy damp mess.
I did use the XM21 rifle you show with the shooter. We called it the M14 scoped variant as it was sort of new.

Cheers for the pointers man, and yeah I thought the positioning of the guy on the left was a bit shit but if I moved him back more he wasn't too visible due to the camera angle so I sacrificed realism for aesthetics same with the guy sitting I thought it'd look more visually appealing if there was a guy sitting down taking a break rather than both of them with their backs to the camera. I mean an excuse could be for the spotters relaxed manner is that they are taking a short breather and the sniper is just having a little look around.
When it comes to the uniforms it's how the models look they have no dirty textures and I'm not really a digital painter, the only stuff I do in photoshop is edit the colors and lighting and any minor imperfections on the models (this was rendered in source filmmaker btw)
I'm only 20 so I didn't deploy to Vietnam, but I was a rifleman in the Australian Army Reserve, nice to know there's other ex-servicemen on here.

It's still very good and well done.
I thought it was digital......we wished we looked that good in the field.
When I would scan I would use my binoculars to look about.
The scope tends to reduce your field of view.
Especially at a distance. If I saw something of interest then I would go to the scope to get a sharper closer view.
Now when I was on base I used the steel pot and flak armor.
In the field it was just uniform tiger camo long sleeved and soft hat.
It really is a nice work.
I worked back in the 73 with some Aussies. I was sent to Alaska after Nam where I was in Arctic Warfare training. They came up to learn some Arctic survival training. They were a special forces group like the SAS. Fierce fighters. Very professional.
Glad you served.

Ah yes, my states very own SASR (R is for Regiment) boys, easily the best of the best when it comes to our guys. A testament to how extreme their training is most of them die during field exercises rather than during deployments.

Cheers bro, really appreciate it. They're 's MGSV: GZ Marines (With BC2: Vietnam M69 Flak Jackets and Blops 1 M1 helmets) facepunch.com/showthread.php?t…
The M14's are currently unreleased (Floatertwo/Kali made them) but they should be released pretty soon.
And the scenebuild props (sky, debris and buildings etc.) are by The Mask and you can get them here; facepunch.com/showthread.php?t…
