Sniper Range --- Holographic

[1sgstallings]

walking onto the range with his new XM-967 Phaser Sniper rifle, 1SG Stallings felt like he was a young Lance Corporal on a company sniper team again.

"Shooters, on the line!" the Range Safety Officer yelled. Jason stepped up onto the line, getting down on his stomach, he put sandbags into a comfortable position and placed his rifle on the bags. Looking down the long range scope, he could see a target that was placed in between two trees.

"Shooters, Commence Firing!" The RSO yelled. With that, Jason dropped his weapon selector to fire and looked through the scope. Nervousness kicked in, he hasnt done this since being on a sniper tream. He slowed his breathing, keeping the scope level. Jason placed his finger on the trigger. Finally he gained control of his breathing. He felt in control. Finally, he took the shot at the target. HIT! Stallings knew to keep calm. He took a second shot. HIT! He got into his groove. ATarget three came up and Jason took his shot. HIT!

Like in the case of our friendly neighborhood Borg..the universe's cockroach...::he smiles and the laughter break out from the crowd:: we are going with something old..not new! ::he pick up a rifle:: this Marines is a early 21 century sniper rifle...It is model of the Barrett XM-109 Sniper rifle..they called it "The Skinny". This weapon was not you regular sniper rifle...noooo..it was one hell of a killing mechine and with a few things here and there..we have made it better. You make ask why are we going backward in our ways. Well that a good question..The sample answer is this...newer isn't away better. Most of you know that the Borg will just changes frequeney to put it planly and our phasers are useless...will with this beauty....a good sniper could get off two or three shots before the Borg knew what was hitting his ugle face. And that Marines does give us the heads up on the Borg...I promise you. ::places the rifle back down.::

The training will run 10 weeks..it will go over every part of your training...some will be old stuff to you..lots will be new. All of you will not finish or passed the course. But those who do will go back to your unit and will be call on for only the most speical and dangerous missions to come.::looks out over the crowd:: But that what we all get pay to do Marines..:;smiles:; isn't it! ::all hell breaks out with the Marines within...As Col. Wilson..just stand back and lets the Marines cheer...then a Sgt call out and the Marines get quit once more..as Col Wilson speak again:: Marine...I now leave you in the hand of Sgt. Major Billy "Bull" Willianson.::at that time the whole room gets to attendions as the Col leave the stage...and on walks one of the biggest, baddest Marines every to walks ..come onto the stage...::

Kytty Enthio: ::Seeing Charlie behind her, she mentally tags him as "enemy":: On, your mark.
Kytty Enthio: Get set.
Kytty Enthio: Go.
Kytty Enthio: ::ducks into cover, and fires off several rounds before she has fully gained the cover. Then, she moves again, silently, but with some minor movement to give her away.""

Charilegreathous: You almos got me as well :;his voice comes from the field:;
Kytty Enthio: ::Keeping an eye on that location, she sets up a sniper's nest::
Charilegreathous: ::looking around survaing the course::
Charilegreathous: ::quickly moves from cover to cover::
Kytty Enthio: ::Hearing his voice, she looks over in the general direction, seeking any sign of movement. Remaining still, her senses on high alert, she is also listening for any movement as well. Seeing a little, she fires off several rapid shots, two hitting close to you, the splatters catching you indirectly.::
Kytty Enthio: ::Remains stock still, letting her coloration blend with the surroundings.::
Charilegreathous: ::get splaterd with the indirectly hit he fires were the shoot came from sevral quick fires::
Kytty Enthio: ::Hearing the new fire, she targets back along the line, and lets loose with 5 shots. Then slips out of her hiding, and moves several feet. Returning to her stillness.::
Charilegreathous: ::hearing the fire he dives for cover thinking:: that was close ::he slowly crawls across the gound to anoth cover::
Kytty Enthio: ::Smiling, seeing some more movement, she fires, leading it.::
Charilegreathous: ::hunts for her:: a shot hits in front of him he rolls back fast fireing as he dose back behind cover::
Kytty Enthio: ::Holds her self still as the shots come just past her. Hitting the baracade just behind her.::
Charilegreathous: She is good :he thinks as he runs and dives behind cover::
Kytty Enthio: ::Uses the movement of his sudden withdrawal to manage to catch him in the leg. with a shot.::
Kytty Enthio: leg = foot
Charilegreathous: ::notices a hit on his foot direct hit:: man now I got limp ::he looks for her::
Kytty Enthio: ::Seeing the contact, she slides smoothly around the barracade, and takes another look. Not seeing anything, she slides through the provided cover to a new position.::
Charilegreathous: ::working his way back were he came from he tries to come in behind her::
Kytty Enthio: ::Remaining still in her new post, she begins scanning the area close to her old positons, thinking about how to get in close. Making plans and discarding them rapidly.::
Charilegreathous: ::looking around he makes is way under cover try for her old spot::
Kytty Enthio: ::Supressing a chuckle, she sees the movement closing into her old nest, and rapidly lines up her cross hairs, and waits. When he comes into the spot, she opens fire with full auto, spraying the area thoroughly, emptying the cannister.::
Kytty Enthio: ::Lauging a little, softly, she moves off reloding the cannister, the rattle keeping her on the move, since it's such a good give away.::
Charilegreathous: :;flating out on the ground he returns fire emptying his cansters as he then falls back and checks for hits::
Charilegreathous: ::reloading as he dose::
Kytty Enthio: ::Feels a few taps on her back, as the pellets graze by her:: Well, that's at least two for you! ::She chuckles, then runs openly towards another place to begin setting up. Sliding into the cover, she slinks silently, and smoothly to another spot to watch and listen.::
Charilegreathous: ::finds a mark on his left leg:: thats two hits, I think I got her at least once in the fire fight
Kytty Enthio: ::Hearing the rattle of relod, she fired on semi-auto into the position::
Charilegreathous: ::pellets wis by him nearlying hitting him he notices three hits on his right leg:; damn 5 hits
Kytty Enthio: Give up yet? ::chuckles, sliding several feet off her positon, to bait the new trap.::
Charilegreathous: ::dosent answer toss his empty canster on way and hobbles the other way::
Kytty Enthio: ::Smiles, not hearing an answer, and slides down to stake out the door. Checking her clip, and seeing it's over half empty all ready, she attemtps to reload quietly, but the rattle of the refill jar refuses to be silent.::
Kytty Enthio: Damn. I hate this. ::Muttered into the almsot silent court.::
Charilegreathous: ::hereinh the rattle he fires 6 quick shots hig medium low low meidum high as he dives for cover::
Kytty Enthio: ::Finally manages to get her cannister reloaded, as she feels 2 new hits, square in the arm and hip. Rolls into a new position, then snakes her way slowly, carefully into a new position, and looks to see the blue pain prominent.::
Kytty Enthio: ::Lays supine, listening, and watching the area, hoping that the dirt sticks to the paint to hide it.::
Kytty Enthio: ***Computer: Red 5, Blue 3 *******

Charilegreathous: ::spots a small poistion fires at it hoping she moved their::
Kytty Enthio: ::smiling to her self, she continues to watch the field, looking for any movement. Seeing some movement, she fires another diagonal spray, left to right, low to high. Then moves several feet off of the position, rattling a few branches along the way.::
Charilegreathous: ::Quicky fires in the sound of the sound as two mor hits are made::
Kytty Enthio: ::watches the last spray go wide of her position. Smiles, and slides over to the position just targeted.::
Charilegreathous: :;gets behind cover::
Kytty Enthio: **********Computer: Red 9, Blue 6 **********
Kytty Enthio: ::Slides into position, and becomes motionless again.::
Charilegreathous: ::runs across the field then falls holding his leg and rolling::

Kytty Enthio: ::Rolling into position, she checks the seating of the canister, resets the firing settings, and plasters herself into the ground, checking for any new marks, the rest having managed to pick up a scrim of dust helping to obscure them.::
Charilegreathous: :;fires all his pellets were she fired from::
Kytty Enthio: ::watches the new spray come into her old position, smiles, and fires 4 shots, carefully at the point of origin.::
Charilegreathous: ::hering the shouts he dives getting hit twice:: You win out of pellets
