Chapter 27 - Sniping in the Real World (Patreon)

Looking through a rifle scope had a funny way of narrowing your perception of the world and not necessarily in a good way, which is exactly why a spotter was almost always paired with a sniper in modern 21st century warfare. That narrow view had to be paired with a wider view for the sniper’s safety and to keep the big picture in mind. Thankfully, the exographic targeting sensor wasn’t a fixed optical scope with such a narrow and unchanging view of the world that blinded the sniper to nearly everything else around them. With a bit of clever manipulation, you could change the view in a myriad number of ways that wasn’t limited by direct line of sight.
