Airsoft Q&A with @WhispTech at 1TG

  • • What's the difference between "designated marksman" and "sniper"?
    → Designated markman usually is a rifleman but the rifle is setup a bit different and will have like a 4x magnification sight ike an elcan spectre or an 4x acog. They are advanced marksmen that lay down accurate quick fire on a location. They are not quite a sniper.
  • • How exactly does a "grenadier" work in simulated war games?
    → Grenadier is a term I don't see much. Pretty much just a rifleman with a 40mm grenade launcher either attached to rifle or the individual ones held.
  • • What is a "recon"?
    → Recon individuals have to be quick sometimes as well and why they wear light gear. Recon actually usually go out and gather information and return. Their job is to map out a location and obtain information for a team that is about to advance.
  • • What is a "scout"?
    → A scout is usually a point man of a squad that is ahead of the group to find and locate enemies and then report back to squad for an engagement.
  • • What is "support"?
    → Support isn't always at the rear and watching the back. They also carry the heavy support weapons for laying down supressive fire for team advancment and manouvers.
