Can You Spot The Sniper?

[Blacksmith]

This link leads to a Daily Mail story with the same title.
In these photos of hidden snipers can you spot them?
Second question is can you spot them in less time than it would take them to acquire you as a target, dope the wind and send a round at you?

[DCP]

I got 2

I am dead

[Taylor]

I did good!

[dagger dog]

Got the first 2 , I'm dead too.

[rockrat]

Got 6 or 7, I'm still history

[Bored1]

Got the first 3 pretty quick, just looked out of place. I am still dead tho, Sniper in the tree could still be shooting my corpse.

[altheating]

Found the first two. Dead on the next two.

[CastingFool]

I only picked out two of them.

[Artful]

I'm dead :???:

[Teddy (punchie)]

Found about 45% Guess I would be lucky if it was a good day and dead the days luck was not on My side. They did A fine job.

[RichardSATX]

First 2, after that I'm toast.

[contender1]

All I got to check was the 3 photos. I found those 3 immediately. To a woods bum like me, things just looked a little out of place. I wasn't able to view the video, so I do not know how I'd do there.

[Milsurp Junkie]

I got almost all of them. The guy in the tree, and the one in the fog screwed me up. Anything that had sunlight was pretty easy to spot something out of place. I would still be dead.

[Stephen Cohen]

First two easy, dead on next few, til the rifle barrel sticking out gave it away. In all reality you only have to miss one and your on your way to god.

[Bad Water Bill]

Girty got em all. No body expected a trained assassin MULE.:bigsmyl2:

Good one sir.

[Oreo]

I think its a BS test. Photography and real life are a world apart for this kind of stuff. In these pictures there's woefully inadequate resolution, zero depth perception, and minimal sense of scale. It drastically favors the snipers.

[John Allen]

The one on the rocks was impressive.

[jcameron996]

I got most of them, but it still wouldn't matter.

[Blacksmith]

Remember try to look unimportant!

[propwashp47]

BAD WATER BILL GURTY all ways gets em all, hehaw

[GaryN]

That was fun. I've always wanted a gilly suit. They work better if you make your own out of the local plants.

[montana_charlie]

I only found about half of them, but none of them could see me.
I was wearing my 'cloak of invisibility'.

In other words - Your Dead Too:bigsmyl2:

[Oreo]

Not unless those snipers can fire digital bullets that will come through the interwebs, and out of my S4 lcd to perforate me.

[Got-R-Did]

Even with Harry Potter's Cloak, I still only qualify to be a R.E.M.F. in this exercise.

Factors perhaps but not total loss there.....I spotted all but 2 in under 10 sec each (tree guy & one out in rock field) so I'd have to say they weren't all hidden as well as they should've been (or would've been on real field op). Esp. considering I'm not that great a punkins, just got a lil learning yrs ago. Most of them can be seen by looking for scope lens or barrel.

[trapper9260]

I got 3 but I am dead also.Well that is the way it gose sometime.It is amazing for how some can blend in .

[garym1a2]

I got quite a few of them , but if you look into their hiding spots. Many of them are poor spots, on the front side of hills with no escape paths once they take their shot. Why be on the front slope of a hill in clear grass when you could be in the tree line in heavy brush. Once he took the shoot in most cases the sniper would be dead.

[DeanWinchester]

I'm red/green color blind. I can NEVER get these. I can only pray that any given sniper with eyes on me has the decency to take shot placement seriously.
…and upon reflection, I can't say it'd be a bad way to go. Given what I have to look forward to; Cancer, alzheimer's and any number of long lingering hells on earth, a well trained sniper putting me down don't sound bad at all.

That's what I was getting at. It's much easier to be difficult to see from only one angle in one spot. In the real world you gotta blend in while getting there and escaping after announcing your presence with a report. Anyone can kill a target before being seen if placed in a convenient spot. To be a sniper you gotta get there and back without being killed by the rest of the opposing army.

[Harter66]

I got 12/15 . The tree guy ,rock creek and the 1 behind the escarpment. Oddly it was more boots ro a branch out of place or hood shadows. I have blue color defect also due to a macula injury related to high bp I loose depth up close ,but I'm pretty movement sensitive to make up for it. Its funny I miss mulies till something twitches but and ear flick at 200yd has me looking for for the rest of the herd. I can't even count the tule ducks I've flushed.

[wch]

Don't look for the man with the rifle, look for his spotter, it's a lot harder to hide that big glass - the shooter will be very near.

[shooter93]

I sneaked up behind everyone of them and "dispatched" them....smiles.

[JeffinNZ]

Got 6 or 7, I'm still history

About the same for me.

[Grumpy Joe]

I lived each time as I brought cool water for the snipers sitting in the heat. Shared some good tales of my past and now I have better protection than most Presidents of past have.

[MUSTANG]

Found all but the one in the tree. Anticipate each of them shot me before I saw them, because many of the US, Brits, and Canadians snipers can usually hit out to a 1000 meters; and my vision isn't that good.

[lavenatti]

I couldn't see half of them when they had the red circles around them.

[jonp]

I kinda question the sniper in the tree. Escape? I got 4, some of the others were too small and far away to make out even with the circle. I did get the guy standing there though

[RED333]

Well I will be honest, I missed them all, as I was not "looking" for them.(I did not see the hints till the 3rd or 4th pic)
I am thinking no one really "looks" for a sniper till it is to late.

[williamwaco]

I got the first two almost immediately.

After that I am a dead duck.
