Artist side of tumblr,
Does anyone know of a good stock photo ref site for (mostly) accurate gun combat poses, particularly with female models? I’m going out of my mind searching high and low and only coming up with soft porn and painfully inaccurate results.
Thank you!!!
He gun-toting side of tumblr, got some questions for you for a short story. I know very little about weaponry outside of basic gun safety, so bear with me.
I’m proofreading a pretty lousy short story for my fiction writing class and it ends with a PTSD addled vet (surprise!) shooting his four friends dead during an episode. And if it couldn’t get more tropey trite, he’s an ex-sniper. Character Jimmy carries around an m24 (that’s the only info on the rifle I get from the story, it’s called an m24) in his truck like a security blanket (it’s literally only covered by a blanket), whips it out and shoots his four friends dead from an undesignated distance, but contextually about a front yard’s distance away.
Here’s what I want to know: is this even possible? Can an “m24” shoot four people at such close range dead before they even can process it, would a “sniper” even do that?
From my understanding, rifles get less accurate at short distances, and logically I would think that for close range encounters, a “sniper” would carry a less wieldy gun. Wouldn’t their training have them react differently to getting stuck in what they think is a firefight? But am I completely wrong? I tried looking it up online and couldn’t find anything conclusive or helpful.
Any thoughts or tips to give this writer would be great, thanks!
