Bit of a meaningless claim?

After all, you can snipe with a pistol - if thats what meets the target criteria....

I suppose it would be handy so that enemy snipers/opportunists couldn't as easily specifically target your snipers when they're patrolling/manning a base

Its to kit out the new dwarf regiment.
As a cost saving dwarf soldiers make sense.

Smaller clothes: less material & No VAT.
Transport: Better fuel economy due to weight savings and they can blag child's fare travel warrants
Food: They will cost less to feed.

We have a DTA covert, and it's a very pawdy rifle indeed.

It can be carried innocuously in a small case so arouses no interest when walking down the street, sitting on a bus or when booking in at a hotel lobby.
It's easily used from inside a vehicle or in dense woodland.
It's outstandingly accurate !

Maybe, for the record (and Echelon), we should state that we don't tootle round London on the upper deck of the Clapham omnibus taking surreptitious snapshots to 'sassinate people in St John's Wood...
