Hey! I'm writing a series with a character who is a sniper. She is a private hire and ends up meeting someone who works with shorter ranged guns and weapons.
I'm just wondering how they would differ when killing someone and what are the tells of each weapon. I want to make it clear that the weapons are different but I'm not sure what those differences are
So, something that stuck out to me originally, when reading this is, most snipers are going to have a close range PDW. Whether that's just their sidearm or something more substantial, they'd need to be proficient with something in close quarters if it comes to that.
Now, the hard part about answering this question in the abstract is that, almost everything associated with firearms is extremely date sensitive.
For example, if your CQB/CQC character was originally trained sometime in the late 90s to late 2000s (in a Western country), they'd have likely encountered Center Axis Re-lock. Outside of those 20 years, then that style hadn't seen widespread adoption, or had fallen out of favor.
For some specific film examples, Vincent (Tom Cruise) from Collateral (2004) would have been working as an assassin for at least a decade by the time we see him in the film. We can make this assessment based on the way he handles the USP, and then compare to CQC training. His one-handed disarm and execute he uses in the alley puts his training sometime in the 80s to 90s at the earliest, while his lack of CAR in close quarters tells you he didn't have Western military or law enforcement training after the mid-90s.
Another film example that might surprise you is John Wick (Keanu Reeves). In those films he exhibits CQC training that suggests he still in the military less than 15 years before the events of the first film. Except his CAR stances are actually a little sloppy (which is unusual for Reeves), which suggests that Wick may have observed others using the stance, and then improvised a version of it for his own use. Meaning you can't really estimate when his combat training occurred. (This might also might explain why he's a bit sloppy about when he switches between Weaver and CAR.) By the way, it is quite difficult to pick this out. It took a few experts dinging on the first Wick film before I really started picking up on the issues with Reeves' technique. And I haven't seen anyone else draw the conclusion that Wick is probably self-taught in CAR. (This was corrected for the later films, as Reeves did get proper training in CAR in preparation for the second film.)
In particular, this is a singular example, but there are a lot of things someone can do that will inform you about their background and training. This starts with weapon selection. Things like their preferred sidearm and primary can be very insightful. People tend to go in one of two directions with firearms. Either, they're very willing to adapt and experiment, or they'll find something they're comfortable with and hone in with that specific firearm.
For example, is your sniper carrying around a Remington 700, or something like an MSR or AWM? Both are legitimate answers, but they say very different things about how your character approaches their area of expertise. Similarly, are they carrying a 1911 pattern pistol, or something more modern, like an HK USP or FN P45?
If your sniper is carrying around an AMT Hardballer, and your CQC specialist is carrying around a P45t, your CQC specialist has twice the magazine capacity. They can afford to dump rounds into someone until they stop twitching. Where as a Hardballer is “just” an extremely well made 1911. Their kills are going to look different, but it's a function of the weapon they chose.
Without knowing what they're carrying, it's very hard to answer definitively how their kills will look.
If it was me, kitting out for CQC in a situation where I'd need to hide the weapon under a jacket, I'd seriously consider an AAC Honey Badger hidden under a sport coat. (I know, I trash talked the Honey Badger a few years ago, before getting a good look at one and seeing just how tiny they are. Mea Culpa. I should know better than to shit on a gun I'm unfamiliar with by now. That's a toxic element of gun culture I've been trying to get away from. It still clings a bit sometimes.) Similarly, the Mk18 and Colt 733 are also pretty good options. That's a little bit of an M4a1 bias, but it's a decent platform. There are other valid options, those are just the first that come to mind for me.
If your character was kitting for CQC, and wanted Warsaw pact weapons, the Groza is a bit exotic, but that's what it was designed for. The SR-3M Vikhr is an update of the Val, and a pretty legitimate choice. They're both 9x39mm rifles, so long range accuracy isn't happening, but in close quarters they still hit stupidly hard. Granted, any Krinkov would work in that role. (So, mostly AKS-74Us.) (I think there were some 7.62x39mm Krinkovs, but I can't remember the name.)
So, ultimately, identifying the differences between the weapons, starts with knowing what the weapons are. Having a basic idea of how they handle (even if that's not first hand), and then being able to see how they differ from one another. This is made even harder in the sense that modern firearms have become extremely modular. Given the option to fully kit out the same gun for you CQC specialist, it's a pretty good bet you and I would walk away with distinctly different end results. Even if the base model was the same. (For the record, I'm not saying my configuration would be better. I have biases and preferences that aren't necessarily the best option available.)
The best place to start, is looking at the kinds of weapons your character would use. Your sniper's going to want a long range precision rifle and a sidearm. She might also go for a small machine pistol/SMG. Your CQC specialist would probably prioritize an actual primary. That might be an SMG, a carbine, or even a shotgun (because nothing says hello quite like three or four 12 gauge shells pumped out of a fully automatic Saiga. (And before someone corrects me, yes, I know, there are no production full-auto Saigas, however they can be illegally modified for full-auto.)
Once you know how different the weapons are, you can start digging into how the characters themselves approach combat, and how their respective styles differ.

If there's one thing I wanna bring with me from Reddit, It's r/legoguns.
Now that I'm getting off reddit, there's one thing I wanna bring with me and it's this subreddit and idea, it doesn't seem to really exist on Tumblr. Here's some of my designs, and some of the best of other people's, with credit. All of mine can be realistically built with full functionality (mag release, charging handle, etc.)
MK18 of mine
Okay, when i first posted i forgot a "keep reading" button lmao. Heres 1 image as an eyecatcher though. 29 more to go.
Different kinda M4 built on same reciever

Aand thats image limit. Damn, I got carried away with that. Ive been picking very specifically too, there's ALOT of better stuff than just this that ive missed. Just take a little look through the r/legoguns sub. Anyway, I'm hoping these are gonna get some new people interested in this sorta thing, or increase the amount they're being posted on Tumblr. Lego guns sounds ridiculous but once you see how good they can be, it starts making more sense. So, I'm gonna tag this with #Lego guns in the hopes that it catches on. Thanks for reading. Including all Migration tags too, and 196 bc why not.

The rifle in your pfp is the L96 AWM right?
Well, first off, you have kind of just named two different guns. The L96A1 (Precision Marksman, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO) and the Arctic Warfare Magnum (Arctic Warfare series, chambered in .300 Winchester or .338 Lapua) are both Accuracy International sniper rifles, but the L96A1 is effectively a predecessor to the rest of the Arctic Warfare based sniper rifles.
The original cartoon's dialogue references the story of the L96A1, though the drawing seems to be based on something within the AW line; possibly an AWM, but also very likely a standard 7.62mm Arctic Warfare, given the barrel proportions.
Once again, it's the presence of a picatinny rail for the optics instead of the bespoke dovetail scope mount, as well as the shape of the back underside of the stock, that identifies this as being a later model than the L96A1.

24 June 2023
The Best Seat in the House
Gallipoli 24 June 2023
One thing I try to emphasise whenever I discuss it was how pointless the Gallipoli Campaign really was. What ifs are popular in military history; what if Napoleon had attacked Wellington at 11am instead of 1pm at Waterloo? What if the Nijmegen Bridge had been captured on the first day of Operation Market Garden? At Waterloo and Nijmegen, these counterfactuals have merit; there is a legitimate possibility that these actions could have altered the outcome of the battle. There is no such merit here - there’s no road to Constantinople from the Sari Bair Ridge. There isn’t even a road to the Dardanelles.
We departed at 8.30am and headed to the nucleus of Australian commemoration at Gallipoli - Lone Pine. Lone Pine was technically one of the very few - indeed, probably the only - successes of the so-called August Offensive. We’re going to be talking about August a lot, so here’s a quick rundown of what happened.

Wars are conducted on three layers; tactical, operational and strategic. August had a vague strategic objective - the Sari Bair Ridge and Chanak Bair in particular - but the operational objective was nearly nonexistent. Very little thought seems to have been put into what was meant to happen once the ridge was captured, and there remained a significant distance from there to the Dardanelles. As for the tactical layer, the objectives were clear enough, but the execution of the attacks were mediocre at best and catastrophically incompetent at worst. The failure of the August Offensive lead to the sacking of Hamilton and, in time, the abandonment of the whole campaign.
Lone Pine was carried, but it was largely a diversion for the main efforts elsewhere, which rather rendered the whole thing a pointless waste of life. Nevertheless, the fact that it was technically a victory counts a lot in Australian memory, and it was inevitable that the main Australian memorial would be built here. As far as memorials go, it’s almost underwhelming compared to the poignance of the Beach Cemetaries or Shrapnel Gully, and it lacks the architectural interest of the memorial at Helles. It surprises me that perhaps the most sacred of the Australian memorials, save for the AWM and Villers-Bretanneux, didn’t speak much to be. Perhaps it’s simply that I’m reaching a point where one tower with a cross etched on it starts to look a lot like all the others.

We walked from Lone Pine down to Artillery Road. As the name implies, this road was used to lug artillery guns up to the heights, a backbreaking task in rough terrain. The roughness of the trail, I am told, remained evident as late as 2019, but the authorities have now widened it significantly, creating a great scar in the land from Lone Pine to Anzac Cove. It’s worth noting that this widening project was almost certainly the brainchild of the Australian government - or was at very least done with their support.
On the way down, we stopped at Shell Green. This is one of those places that ended up enshrined in Anzac folklore - it was here, on the last days of the campaign, that Australian troops played cricket under the eyes of the enemy to convince them that they meant to stick around. It’s said that the watching Turks chose sides and cheered along. Here we discussed the concept of emotional truth and accuracy in regards to memoirs; a key rule to interrogating memoirs is that not every inaccuracy is a bald-faced lie. A man might write that he came ashore on the 25th of April but may actually have come ashore on the 27th, but through the vagaries of memory he might believe he came in on the landing day - or a publisher may simply change the date to sell copies of the book. In any case, the date doesn’t matter so much as his experiences - we don’t need to know the exact time a man saw his brother blown to pieces. In such a situation I can think of nothing that matters less.
Shortly thereafter we found some turtles.

At the end of Artillery Road we rejoined the bus and drove to Beach Cemetary, not to be confused with Beach Cemetary - there’s two of them. This Beach Cemetary, which is a little south of the other one, is where Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick is buried. All Australians know the story of the great Aussie battler with his donkey, going out under fire to save his wounded mates until he is eventually killed in the line of duty. A true, blue Australian and an Anzac. There’s just one problem - nearly none of that is true. He absolutely did help the wounded, with a number of donkeys, but he was one of dozens of others carrying out this vital work and wasn’t terribly exceptional in this regard. Brave though he was, he didn’t join the AIF out of patriotism for country or empire - in fact he despised the empire - and fully intended to desert once the Australians made it to London. The reason for this, and the big kicker, is that Simpson, that greatest Australian hero, was an Englishman.
The great absurdity is that Simpson, a English socialist who’d deserted a merchant ship four years earlier, somehow ended up being picked up by both the Red Cross and Australia as an example of the bravery of all the medics and the stretcher bearers, and was inflated to such a point that the person on the street now probably believes there only ever was one stretcher-bearer at Gallipoli. This is not such a great thing for the scores of other men buried at Beach Cemetary - Australian, New Zealander, British and Indian - as Simpson catches the lion’s share of everyone’s attention. The entire thing is a little bit insane, and runs contrary to the idea of Anzac as an egalitarian tradition.

After a brief stop at Embarkation Pier (where there is no pier and where nobody actually embarked) we returned to the hotel to wait out the heat of the day. At 4.30pm we reconvened at the hotel library, watched the last third of Peter Weir’s Gallipoli, and headed back to the Second Ridge to Quinn’s Post.
There are thousands of men buried on the Gallipoli Peninsular - tens of thousands in fact. All of them are equal in death. Yet there is one that I had to elevate above the others - and that is because he’s one of mine. Private D. H. Ellem, 15th Battalion, landed on the first day of the campaign. He was at Gallipoli for a week, and was killed at Quinn’s Post on the 1st of May 1915. There he remains. Quinn’s Post was the site of some of the most violent fighting of the campaign - it was called ‘the Haunted House,’ for the cries of the wounded there echoed all around. Private Thomas Charles Scates of the Royal Marines described it simply as a ‘death trap.’ Today, the view of the endless sea is astounding, especially from Private Ellem’s position. He sits right in front of the great memorial stone at the head of the cemetery. It is the best seat in the house.

Before photographs, families would lay a sheet of paper over the grave of a loved one and shade it with a pencil, creating an imprint that they could take home. I did that, and poured a little water at his grave. I wonder if he would appreciate this person, with whom he shared nothing but a tenuous link of blood, paying him such attention. I wonder why I, who never met this man or saw anything more of him but a grainy photograph on Trove, was so affected by this moment. I suppose, for a brief moment in that golden evening sunshine, the mountains of dead of the First World War had a name and a face.
Dave was nineteen years old.

A little way down from Quinn’s Post is the memorial to the Ottoman 57th Regiment, which was nearly annihiliated at Gallipoli and subsequently destroyed in Palestine. It’s this regiment that Mustafa Kemal (later Ataturk) gave that famous command - ‘I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die.’ (The rest of his quote explains that the time that it takes for ‘us’ - he includes himself in this equation - to die will give the army time to send reinforcements.) The 57th are heroes in Turkey, as they’re the ones who - alongside the 27th Regiment - held the attack at Anzac. We stopped here for a discussion of Gallipoli’s place in modern Turkish politics, and I strategically stood a few meters away in case any passersby took any exception to what we were saying.
We continued past the memorial to Sergeant Mehmet. What did Sergeant Mehmet do? To be honest, most of it’s in Turkish and the English placard doesn’t really say what he did, apart from that he was brave. I suppose it’s not really meant for wandering Australians.

A little way past that is the Nek. No other word in the Australian lexicon, save Fromelles, invites such horror. The Nek was about the furthest the Australians made it on the Second Ridge, and as a result was one of the most heavily defended places on the Ottoman line. It was attacked in the August Offensive as a diversion for the New Zealand attack on Chanak Bair. This attack was actually postponed by a day, but nobody seems to have told the Australians. The idea was that two battalions of the Light Horse, the 8th and the 10th (who fought dismounted at Gallipoli), would attack the Nek to draw forces away from Chanak Bair. In order to faciliate success, the Turkish positions would be shelled. A failure to synchronise watches led the (already fairly enemic) bombardment to end to early, allowing the Turks to reoccupy their positions. Despite this, Major Antil, commanding the operation, gave orders for the first wave to attack. Lt. Col. Alexander White bravely led his men over the top and was pretty much immediately killed. This act of heroism meant that there was nobody around to stop Antil from obstinately ordering the second wave over the top, and then a third, and part of a fourth before sanity finally reigned. 372 men were killed and wounded in an area of about twenty yards.
It is the most tragically easy battlefield walk I’ve ever taken - ten seconds from one side to another.

The Nek also overlooks Suvla Bay, the great scapegoat of August. The traditional orthodoxy of the Anzac legend is that the suffering and death of the Lone Pine, the Nek and Chanak Bair were rendered useless by the tepid, casual advance of the British at Suvla - as can be seen by the communications officer in Gallipoli telling the general that they’re ‘drinking tea on the beach.’ This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the August Campaign. Suvla was never the main drive of the offensive - the idea was to create a supply base for future offensives that largely existed in the dreams of Hamilton and Birdwood. Sari Bair was the main assault, and very little that went on at Suvla really affected it. As for lethargy, it’s true that the commander of the British IX Corps, General Sir Frederick Stopford, was a geriatric incompetent who should never have been brought out of retirement, but his men were involved in hard fighting from the morning of the landing. Considering most of them had gotten debilitating diahhrea at Mudros on the way in, the fact that they managed to establish a workable perimeter at Suvla was nothing at all to sneeze at. I was given free reign to give my patented Suvla rant with the actual Suvla Bay in the background, which was a pretty special experience.
We walked to Russell’s Top from there and took some pictures, and then rushed in fading light to Chanak Bair, our final stop of the day. Here is dialogical memorialisation at it’s most stark. The New Zealanders built an impressive cylindrical structure at the point they captured and held on the top of the hill. The Turks built a gigantic statue of Ataturk that stares it down. The New Zealand mythology is that they took the hill, and were then relieved by the British who lost it. This isn’t necessarily wrong, but it’s worth noting that Chanak Bair was an untenable position. Nobody could have held this for long. On Chanak Bair you are completely exposed to enemy fire. You can’t even dig in, as the ground is too hard. It was inevitable that the British would be thrown off; and when they were, the casualties were enormous. As one final insult to injury, the retreating British troops were fired on by New Zealand machine gunners. This was a colossal military disaster. And yet the New Zealanders eventually chose, when the time came to build their memorial, to bury their dead on the eastern side of the hill, overlooking the Dardanelles - to capture in death what was unassailable in life.

We returned to the hotel after that. Tomorrow, we are told, will be an easy day. We’ll bus to Troy, visit the Turkish town of Canakkale, and then do… something or another in the evening. It also means that I might be able to write a log that isn’t a massive wall of text - but we will have to see…

conversion of the Beaufort, it was quickly apparent that more extensive modification was needed, resulting in a much more capable design. Heavily armed with various combinations of 20mm cannon, machine guns, rockets, bombs and even torpedoes, the ‘Beau’ was a force to be reckoned with. Over 5,900 would be built.
Beaufighters began to enter service in September 1940, but were not initially fitted with AI radar, the first kill using the new technology only being achieved in late November. Thereafter, the type quickly became the RAF’s primary night fighter, taking an increasingly heavy toll of Luftwaffe bombers. It would remain in this role until Mosquitoes began to take over in 1943. Notable Beaufighter pilots included John Cunningham and John ‘Bob’ Braham. Guy Gibson also scored victories on the aircraft during a ‘break’ from bomber operations.
Beaufighters saw extensive service with RAF Coastal Command. Some were used to counter Luftwaffe patrols over the Bay of Biscay, but the type is best known as an anti-shipping aircraft. Carrying rockets or torpedoes, Beaufighters took a heavy toll of German shipping, though many were shot down in return. The North Coates Strike Wing, for example, was credited with 150,000 tons sent to the bottom, at the high cost of 120 aircraft. A Coastal Command Beau also took part in one of the most audacious missions of the war. On 12th June 1942, an aircraft of 236 Squadron dropped a Tricolour on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris before shooting up the Kreigsmarine HQ.
Beaufighters saw extensive service in the Mediterranean in all roles. They operated from bases in North Africa and Malta against Axis shipping and aircraft, proving particularly effective against Luftwaffe transports. Later, operating from Italy, they conducted anti-shipping operations over the Adriatic and Aegean. From August 1945, 19 Squadron SAAF flew ground attack missions in direct support of Yugoslavian partisans.
In the Far East, several RAF squadrons operated Beaufighters from Burma, primarily for ground attack, but also on long range intruder missions. In the Southwest Pacific, the RAAF used the type extensively, with five Beaufighter squadrons being formed. 30 Squadron flew British-built aircraft to mount devastating strafing attacks during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea in March 1943. Over 350 Mark 21 Beaufighters were produced in Australia by the Department of Aircraft Production (DAP) from September 1944.

Jun 9 1918 AWM P02882.020
Romain?, France. 9 June 1918. A large calibre French railway gun on its carriage on the railway, part of a captured train. Note the camouflage paintwork on the gun and the bogie as well as the other carriages visible. The open carriage (right) was used to make shells and, when used operationally, would normally be situated on the other side of the gun.
Jun 9 1918 AWM P02882.019
The name Staifia painted on the bogie. On the right hand side of the bogie is the number 1 surrounded by a painted horseshoe, and P.5011 is painted above that.
