- Could you go through the intense training every Royal Marine scout sniper has to undergo?
The challenging course lasts 13 weeks and is split into three modules - the first of which is marksmanship, which is essential and the foundation for any potential sniper.
Royal Marines shoot on the L115 A3 rifle as part of their training.

After WW2 the British army didn't believe snipers were a major requirement so cut back on training, the Royal Marines thought differently and invested heavily in sniper training going on to create the best course of its type in the armed forces. It had such a high reputation that when I served it was considered the goto course for snipers and you'd often find SAS troopers on it.
"... and effective at harassing a target out to 1500 meters" - excellent choice of words 😂

The sniper course was a part of PW Wing at what was ITCRM Lympstone when I was a platoon weapons Instructor there in the 1960s/early 1970s. It was, and still is, a very tough course and only the very best passed and earned the right to wear that coveted badge. My shooting was consistently graded as marksman on the range, but I never considered myself good enough to even apply for the sniper course.
Perhaps look at the British Army for accuracy skills seeing as they held records for a few long range kills over the years
My dad was inaugural head / in command of nz div sniper squad of eight? Italy 1944’ ww2 , and chose their missions ! 😅
Excellent video with lots of concise and accurate information. Well done
This was good I've seen the other marine sniper school doc on TH-cam which is good but this more modern and detailed.
Yes, this is what I'm talking about. I take my hat off to you all who have served and who are serving still 🙏🏽🎯🔫
Great content.
Respect !
Great video. I would love to get my hands on this weapon system, I used the L96 A1 when I was a sniper. So obviously a long time ago. Well done to all these guys.
The kestrel meters even take in to account the Coriolis effect of the earth , cracking bit of kit .
USMC sniper School 40 years ago, at least somebody else realized the value. Although we only shot at 1000 meters then.
1. Spin 360 degrees.
