Alright so my spotter gets as much if not MORE credit than I do for this one, because none of it would have been possible without him.
Today we were playing at our local field and had been providing overwatch for a while. My spotter started moving down the field to see what our options were, and once I decided it was safe I started to follow.
I was about to grab him and say "Hey, lets keep moving!" when he stops me and says "I might have a shot for you." He explains that there is an enemy shooter that he had located that had four of our teammates pinned down. He pointed out his general area to me and said "You might be able to get him, see what you can do."
I took a position back from a window and steadied up for the shot. My spotter gave me directions as to where the enemy was, and after he finally made the fatal mistake of shifting I had him. All I could see was the top half of his head above a log at a distance of 225 feet. I wasn't quite sure what would happen, but knew my rifle was capable of it. My only question was "Am I capable of it?" After about three minutes of setting up the shot I sent it.
Up until this moment I had no clue what type of weapon the enemy was carrying or how big of a threat he presented to my team. I watched the BB fly towards him and then saw a rifle go up in the air. To our great pleasure it was an enemy sniper!
To me this is the epitome of Sniper/Spotter team work! As I said, I would have continued on right past this opportunity had my spotter not done his job perfectly in locating the threat! All I did was pull the trigger. (I will never EVER doubt my spotters competence from this day forward!!!!!)
(Sorry for the rant, i'm still really hyped up from that one shot that WE achieved as a team)
