I was waiting for all this fuss about the assassination to die down, so that I can finally analyze what is usually interesting to many of us, namely the set of equipment of escort agents from the United States Secret Service (USSS)
Due to the fact that the shooting was carried out by a group of snipers, we will consider them today.
Let's start with the fact that the snipers who accompanied Trump were officers from the Uniform Division, an integrated unit within the USSS that performs a wide range of tasks related to the personal security of leaders. We will talk about them in more detail in the second article.
In the photo, we can see that both snipers use Remington 700 bolt-action rifles, which are customized by replacing the standard bed with a chassis, from the company Accuracy International AX. Such a custom allows you to quickly change barrels and calibers, making the weapon versatile and versatile.
The optics of both snipers are also the same, they are Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 with Envision Mars laser rangefinders. Initially, the ATACR (ADVANCED TACTICAL RIFLESCOPE) series was developed by special order for an unknown group of professional shooters, whose main request was exceptional accuracy and reliability in the most extreme situations. As a result, this line became the flagship and won recognition both among military and sports shooters.
A Glock 19 with an extended magazine, Steiner M2080 binoculars, most likely a version with an MRAD reticle, are also seen from other elements of the team. Both have Crye Precision JPC boots, Salewa Wildfire Edge and Salomon Forces SpeedCross shoes.
