Anti-Reflection Devices

[crosshairs93]

One thing that gives many snipers away is there scope. Even if it does not glare, there is still a large black circle that is not found in nature. There are, however, several ways to prevent this. Most of them involve extending the the end of the scope to cast a shadow over it. Unfortunately most of the comercially made ARDs are a bit expensive. So here are a few Homemade versions that will be a little less hostile to your wallet.

This one is one of my custome sunshades cobined with a bit of window screen.


I couldn't find a pic of this one but it's a home made killflash. Not just screen over the lens. You just take a bunch of straws and tape them in a bundle about the size of your obj. lens. put them inside a lens cape and cut off the eccess. now paint it and your done.

Feel free to put in what ever ideas you have.
thanx,

nice.i already do thatb with chicken wire and aluminum. interesting that you though the same

Here's another one that I just finished. It's similar to the cat eye, but it's also extended out about 2in. The german snipers in WWII used theese. they are very easy to make, just take a regular scope cover and use cardboard to make the extension. then wrap it in tape, paint it, and your done.

That looks great, nice job - Just a thought, have you thought about cutting off those round bits of plastic (that are meant to thread elastic cord through) on the scope cover? I think it would look a lot better (just my opinion though).

will do, thanks

the plastic edges looks like it would block your veiw?

[crosshairs93]

Actually it doesn't. it's just like the difference between looking through a hole in a fence. the closer your eye is close to the hole, the wider you field of view. and if it's close enough, it doesn't block it at all. that's why I made the ARD so short.
