How to make that crucial shot under the most challenging seaborne
conditions.
For the professional sniper, engaging a target on the high seas is
one of the most challenging assignments of all. Erratic movement introduced by
waves, vessel speeds, and engine vibrations; short, sudden windows of
opportunity; and a host of unique environmental factors make the shot that much
more demanding for even experienced marksmen. Now, master sniper Fredrik
Jonsson, a master sniper and founder of a unique maritime sniper programme, has
written what is destined to become the classic manual on precision fire from
seaborne platforms.
Jonsson combines his vast experience in sniping deployment and
instruction, specialised operations in troubled waters around the world and
competitive shooting to instruct dozens of specialised skills, including timing
shots for wave harmonics; firing from one moving vessel at targets on another
moving vessel; firing through shipboard glass; determining range and reading the
wind in the tricky ocean arena; establishing a suitable shooting platform on a
vessel at speed; conducting sniper-specific training at sea and maintaining
weapons and optics in the harsh saltwater environment.
The maritime sniper plays a vital role in combating piracy, providing
cover for vessel and GOPLAT boarding teams, protecting high-value vessels, and
many other missions. To hope that the sea will be calm the day you will have to
take that crucial shot is simply not an option. Master the skills of seaborne
sniping with Maritime Sniper Manual, called by John Plaster, author of The
Ultimate Sniper, the "best thing out there on this
subject."
