On the 6th December, snipers of the US Army’s 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) took part in training to engage targets at long ranges shooting through barrier holes. The session included tripod training using SOCOM’s Sniper Support Rifle (SSR), the FN SCAR MK20. The training took place at Fort Carson in Colorado, the photos of the range session were taken by US Army photographer Spc. Jacob Krone and  uploaded on to DVIDS last week.

Here’s a photo of three Army Special Forces snipers

No less than 6 snipers from the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) training at Fort Carson with their FN SCAR Mk20s, firing from both tripods and from bipods from prone. Interestingly, one operator is clearly shooting left handed. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Jacob Krone)

Finally, here’s a close up of one of the MK20s:
