Gibsonm Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 He can’t have been too pressed since he didn’t need to draw his kukri. Most of the Gurhkas I’ve worked with I was very glad to be with them, not against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarball Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Curious about the scope shots... Is there a camera integrated into the scope? How would such a shot be obtained? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 How would such a shot be obtained?If the rifle is secured with a bipod, you can postion a camera behind the scope to get a shot looking through it. There's a very small window where you'll be able to get a good view, so it takes some time to play around with it a bit, but it can be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
