Any nor should they.

Guys - INSURGENTS ARE POOR. Do you think they protect their positions with ANYTHING except for other insurgents?

Well, I don't know what the real insurgents are doing, but if I was an insurgent and was going to be running around with a big expensive sniper rifle, I would at least carry a pistol.

If the solution is to always have someone with you, then why do the conventional forces snipers get pistols? Because shit happens, people die, and when the smoke clears and your still holding a bigass bolt action rifle, your in for some trouble.

I can understand the argument about insurgents being poor, but small arms aren't exactly high value items in that part of the world. Nor do i believe the people doing the fighting are paying for the own weapons.

Yeah a makarov or tokarev ect. would be pretty cheap and easy to get a hold of over there i would presume.

If I was an insurgent, I would use the sniper rifle for anything since deviation isn't crazy in RL.

Insurgents need bandages. The bandages themselves aren't high tech expensive pieces of equipment, from my first aid expierience all a bandage needs to be is a clean piece of cloth prefferably (But not required) sterile that can be used to apply pressure to bleeding.


So im pretty sure insurgents don't fight naked, they could rip some clothing and use it to slow bleeding long enough for it to clot.

... Sniper, TEAM. I.e More than one. In PR, if you have a spotter, he can cover you.

Insurgents should get something called a bandage, that gives out 10% health instead of 25%, to symbolise it being just a dirty rag.
