GHILLIE SNIPER Tactics - Hide Techniques
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 бер 2018
- Sniper hide position and the dangers of leaving hide. Why I sit in front of cover while utilising my camouflage (movement & silhouette), why I prefer sitting to laying face down (dynamic) and what to do when the enemy is in your blind spot and has his gun pointing at you.
Let me know what you think about this video, would you like to see more of them? It is not gospel, these are techniques that I employ and thoughts on common situations you will find yourself in as a ghillie sniper. Always think, consider, learn and evolve. Intelligence & guille are our best weapons as airsoft snipers; never stop learning, never stop thinking.

One thing I probably didn't make clear in the video, watching it back, is that by sitting in front of cover it makes it easier to turn and check your blind spot, because the cover behind you disguises your movement as you check around yourself. Of course, if the enemy is in front of you and observing your position you will likely be spotted anyway. But I am more likely to be spotted by an unseen opponent behind me, rather than an enemy from in front in an area I had been observing.
Leaving hide is a dangerous time, when you can very easily turn from predator to prey.
Great video. Please make more when you can. Also, might mention that you should try not to be on the highest spot around, everyone looks there first. Better to be a bit lower and use what's behind you to hide your silhouette.
I personally find hiding behind a bunch of bracken or deadwash quite useful. It offers some protection. Also I would probably highlight the importance of very slow movement (as you mentioned briefly) so as not to draw attention to yourself. I'm predominantly a hunter/stalker. I make use of any cover that I can find and blend myself into whatever surrounds I find myself in. I like your clips. I get some good ideas from watching them.
Great video with lots of information...How would an enemy get behind you ?
*This series will be interesting!*
*People are hard-wired to detect the human shape, faces, and movement.* *If you eliminate these, you're basically invisible.* *As shown in the video, the player in all black was more concerned about stepping in water - than looking for enemies.*

So for me I have no knowledge and experience with doing airsoft games or being a sniper, but many people cannot afford such ghillie suit but a good trick if you want to hide and make a hasty ghillie your own. Shinobi often carried kaginawa or grappling hook around and they may carry two for different tasks, one of which they can improvised a ghillie using the grappling hook by lashing it all over the body, The cord can act like a netting which you can attach natural foliage around them. It was also a great idea to make a ghillie from preserved animal skin with an head left on it. The animal hide with the head can be a good deception tool against the enemy ambush.
Another thing that many snipers should keep in mind is to have two cover from either directions. It will be also recommended for new snipers to have their optics like glasses or binocular. I've been also starting to do wildlife photography using the animal tracking/stalking technique; it will be recommended for new airsoft gamers and snipers to use their stealth skills in practice.
I can suggest to the airsoft gamers about using these searches for your next milsim, cqb, and game;
- 8 fundamental camouflage elements
- animal stalking
- orientation/navigation fundamental skills
- (military/shinobi) stealth fundamentals
for resource I would suggest looking into
- airsoft/hunting/national park service forums
- blackscoutsurvival
Really like this, its very useful and can't wait for more technique videos!
Every single video is a masterpiece.
I am working on my ghilie suit right now. You are my favourite UA-camr. pls dont change :D
I'm so excited that you finally did a video like this! Countless are the times where I had every advantage, every right to take a guy down, but I felt like I was overexposed & did not trust my camo (and naturally got punished for it lol). This vid was a good reminder that having faith in your concealment is more important then any rifle or pistol upgrade. Thanks for the great video, and I hope you do more like this one!
Andrew Werner I agree 100%. It’s why I usually suggest new snipers start with an MK23 pistol and work on their camo, stalking & technique before wortying about long range shooting.
I can’t wait for spring to customize more of ghillie man! I never thought of these tips! Very useful from a professional himself! Keep up the hard work man!
Good info! It would be nice, from time to time, for you to include some video of your position from a distance. As if the camera were the enemy heading your way. Just to help with how good you have created your suit to blend into your surroundings, and help others with ideas on building the perfect suit for themselves. Appreciate your videos my friend. 👍
Lookin 2kayak Good idea, it’s easier to reuse in game footage, but I do like this idea... Maybe I should show all my ghillies & camos? And show their effectiveness...
Yes, it would be awesome to see you from the enemies point of view. A split screen video from sniperops events, both from you and the opponent. 👍
I certainly understand using game footage. Possibly you could have someone shoot some video when a game has finished. At least you’d still be in your gear and at the wooded area. It’s obvious you’re a smart man, so I’m sure you’ll find the best way if you decide to add it. Thanks
Great idea. I have a drone I have used, but it is tricky to find the time... especially during winter, the darkness comes quickly after a game, and often there is a long drive home... When I have used the drone it has been during lunchtimes. I will use the drone again ASAP...
Thanks for the ideas, much appreciated.
@@kickingmustang Good idea
Oh my god another awesome video from my favorite airsoft youtuber!
best thing u can get for laying down as a ghillie is a para scope just look threw it while looking forwards and have it pointing behind u so u dont have to expose your self so then u can hope to rely on your ghillie while they pass by edit: make sure u cover the parascope to match the ghillie
Commenting on a very old video, but would love to see more of this type of content
As I have stated before all of your helpful hints and tricks are truly appreciated. I love the way you have laid the foundation for your tips. It does seem a tricky situation when leaving a hide. And there probably is no true one hundred percent perfect way to do it. But I agree that having cover behind you can be an asset especially when you are unaware of where all the enemy is located. It gives great food for thought. I truly look forward to the next installment of this series it has helped me greatly already. Thank you.
Nice one, mate. I hope I can show in future that the key to being a good stealth player is not a ghillie, it is sharp and thoughtful mind. We all get seduced by the beauty of our ghillie suits but the truth is they only enhance our abilities. They do not give us abilities.
kickingmustang well said and I totally agree. The Ghillie doesn't make the sniper the snipers skill is what makes or breaks him. And you have great skill my friend
Always good stuff KM. I borrow ideas from you all the time, but since I live it the hot climate fo Florida I can't see myself using a suit like yours. The various camo that I have are hot enough. Still there are lots of great ideas that you remind us. Your stillness and silence are exemplary and just watching you in action is good teaching. Thanks!
I may be a little late, but some tips I could give is 1. Try to find what they call “ultra light” jute and stuff, it’s not as heavy and is 20x cooler (temperature wise)
2. Make your own ghillie suit, there’s nothing worse than going online to see a sick looking ghillie suit, just to receive it and see it looks nothing like the photos.
3. If you plan to prone a lot, or just stay still, don’t put jute, raffia, etc on your front, it will also help keep you cooler.
I hope this kinda helped, even though I am late 😂
Your camo technique is unbelievably good Sir.
I've seen pretty much every "Sniper tip" vids on UA-cam, but none are as informative as yours! Please, make more
YES great stealth i would like to see more of your vids,because of you i meet TM MK23,great gun out of the box it was worth every euro
keep up your good sniping
very useful, thanks for it. Do longer videos please, that would be nice :D
This is amazing!👍🏻
jes first like xp good job mate keep up the good work
As sniping is a static and positional way of fighting I probably would add certain conditions before actually leaving the position.
1) Try to determine your next advantage position (in a strategic way , but also from a camouflaging way ) before moving.
2) choose the appropriate way of moving , crawl, squatted walk , stand up walk ,according to environment ( height /shape vegetation)
3) always be aware of the pace your moving/ determine the pace you ill be performing the displacement.
4) scan your surroundings for opposition
5) use tactical hand signals for communicating
only after these checks, start to initiate the displacement
Very good informative video mate top notch
Very good!!
very usefull, thanks
so cool ghillie suit
verygood video thank s sir !!!
That suit is amazing 👌
Can you do a video on how you conceal your rifle/sidearm? Like how you attach vegetation to it
What’s up. New to your channel I enjoy watching your videos. Was you ever I the military? You have awesome sniper skills 👍
you are amazing! :-) Best Hide Techniques I've ever seen
Andix Thank you.
Cool video and great suit.
Awesome
Great video
Just had a thought, I don't know if it would be useful. If you attached a camo'd up compact mirror to you rifle, you could fold it out to scan behind you with minimal movement, then close it up again so the shine doesn't give you away while you're moving about.
Not a crazy idea. But I I don't visibility will be good enough to make it worth while.
This is so cool lol.... I would never have the patience or discipline to do this
Well done. If you’re not worried about your flank you can slowly crawl backwards to cover then get up.
Kickingmustang leave links in description for the ghillie suit
The only time I go prone is if I have ample side to side and if able over and or behind cover so someone has a harder time seeing me while behind me. I normally try to avoid posting up in open land as I prefer to sit or take a knee then going prone.
An upto date video using more angles and kmcs would be great
Nice
Another great video! I'm going to try your tips at tomorrows game that I have booked in. Keep up the good work. HAPPY HUNTING
awesome video, inspired me to try to make my own suit
Yip Yip Are you in the Sniper Ops facebook group? Best place for ghillie building...
kickingmustang I am, just got the base and ordered some basic supplies
I'm now to the game got me ay m61 double eagle sniper rifle. Looking 4 tips to upgrade my rifle and out on the field
I'm really struggling with sniping during the summer, getting good angles and not hitting every leaf on the site is so difficult with all the bushes.
did fine sir you are lucky on that guy behind wow a close one for you almost had weren't you
but good video thank you i did get my ghillie suit its kinda like yours its the woodland warrior ghillie suit its nice ok by sir your welcome anytime to talk to me if you would like
I love you Mister B!
Vasuki Hexuiji Love back at you, mate.
What was the base of this ghillie? Like the foundation you put everything onto?
Winter stalking is where I struggle any advice, thank you
did you make your own ghillie suit or did you buy one if you bought where from?
What goggles or glasses do you use? I know you modify them, but wants the base thing?
Can u say something about handmade jute ghillies without jute on the front ? I know it is not The best one for airsoft BUT it still working and I just want to know how to move invisibly (not crawl) and choose sniping spots :) I would be very happy if u can say something about it :)
REAPERS I an wearing a jute cape in this video. I will do a review of all my suits soon...
yeah i wana here more too about the ghillie, i want one like this :D great job man, i realy like your videos. keep on good work :)
Very good technique. One thing... 0.5 second clear view of you scope front objective was quite obvious. Not a critique, just a note. Great hide.
When its for keeps, I'm reluctant to hide in front of cover. But then, you don't always know which way your enemy will come from.
I know this video is REALLY old, but one thing i'd recommend practicing is Belly Breathing. intseald of using your upper chest to bellow out, using your diaphragm to breath pulls more air in, and helps reduce movement of your upper half.
Holy crap that guy walked right by you
I love to see a airsoft sniper who actually uses their ghillie suit and doesn't just run around. I have a ghillie cape I made and always enjoy seeing people look around after being shot. Great videos keep it up
I use super tiny mirrors on my scope to monitor behind me. Effective and tiny
Good information. What's the story on the superman sniper at the beginning? Lol
Indian Army sniper, showing how not to leave hide? XD
kickingmustang Lmao
Staying way from trees is always good if you can thats the first thing anyone ever scans
I used to sit in front of a tree and lean a fallen branch or twigs beam against me Makes it more difficult to move but looks like branch has fallen Onto a bush 👍👍
Fly through the air like superman
How to start a game with your suit
Hi KM please can you tell me where I can get your base ghille suit from ? I know you customise yours a lot but I’m after the base suit you use ? Many thanks
They are not made any more. You can sometimes pick the up second hand if you're lucky on ebay. I might have one surplus to requirements. Are you in the UK? Send me a DM on my KM facebook page...
Thanks KM I will message you tomorrow evening mate
Hey man I have a question, I assume you play in Australia and watching a couple of your videos and the places you go and get into, how do you not run into some dangerous wildlife like snakes?
He sounds like he’s from the UK, and this doesn’t really look like anywhere in Australia that I know of. It’s also pretty rare to run into snakes here in the bush, at least in my experience.
This is really late, but airsoft is very strict in Australia and theres only a few fields. And every outdoor field usually has their own measures of keeping away wildlife that can harm players.
Does an airsoft sniper have a chance against paintball players?
Whats the hardest being a sniper
Is the patience patience patience and patience
Minutes hours days weeks
why not carry a spotter in any outing??? I've not seen a spotter in any airsoft game with a scout sniper......yet.
I feel like you should mention your leaf suit is only a portion of your camo. A lot of it is local vegetation added to your suit. Ghillie 101 realy but I see people trying to imitate you in the field and theyre spotted so easily.
Joris0815 In this video, yes. But often, no. Always good idea to have elastic bands on your limbs or adding veg in field.
If you frequent the same field often then it starts to make sense adding permanent imitation stuff to your suit I guess.
Joris0815 It’s more of a seasonal thing, the shades and colours are only ever last a few weeks.
Who thumbs down these vids?
На тепловизоре все будет видно
go on trees :)
have a pet snake on the side so if u get spotted it don't look as obvious because if u see a snake u damn well that aint a sniper
Wtf is up with the thumbnail 😂😂😂
animals can notice???
No
Lol
put airsoft in your title.
ive blended the novritch shoulder peice with the north mountain gear leafy suit as my base ..i got the novritsch leaves.they do seem to be pretty tough.i guess its all in a batch ..a?lol dude my mask i just cant tweak like u
