Jesus T0xicboy, is that a type of claymore? *shudder*

You could say it’s an oversized claymore, it’s defined as an vehicle mine not an anti-personal mine

A claymore weight about 1.5 kg(3.5 pounds) and that beast weight 24 kg(52.9 pounds) and 9.5 kg(21 pounds) of that is explosives.
It’s used for fixed defenses, ex put up three of those in a clear-cut forest/clearing with two soldiers and you can be pretty safe that no transport helos will land there unharmed.



Sweden and Japan is using that mine as far as I know.
Almost all countries have some type of oversized claymores, the Russian mon-200 is even larger, 25 kg and 12 kg explosives in it.

But as you can see, it doesn’t look like a Claymore, more like a satellite dish, and the killing zone is more concentrated.

If you want that, go look at some of Nyte's vids search for it on youtube or something.

I have DL Nytes movies… Nice! exactly what I wanted
Nyte you have some skill and you really using your brain in the game.
Too many of the people I meet out there lack the ability to think, they only act and react, totally focus like a bloodhound that has found a trail.
It’s pretty easy to lure and trick people like that into their deathtrap.
I see that you are not one of them... *making a mental note*

First of all,how to define close-combat for a sniper?

For me close-combat sniping is everything under 100 meters.
I try to shoot long range as often as possible,but sometimes there are situations where you just have to resort to close-combat.
Getting one shot off and finishing with the pistol,luring somebody into a freshly placed claymore,the lucky unzoomed point blank shot,there are a lot of little things in it.

But if you want a presentable K/D-ratio with the sniper kit you should try to remain unseen and attack the flanks,and not try to engage the enemy as if you were "Bolt-action-Rambo".

If you are forced to close-combat you better do or die and it's good to have skills in close-combat sniping then - but avoiding it in the first place is more wise,you are seriously underpowered in terms of firepower in real close-combat.
