Spotter Equipment

Seeing how I have both a A.E.G. and a Sniper rifle, i'm thinking i'll start being a spotter and letting my friends use my sniper rifle. I was reading some spotter training, I understand what a spotter is. One question i do have is, what equipment should I bring? A red dot scope for my a.e.g.? Should I be carrying my sniper's magazines? Is there a specific binocular I have to use? Any information will help, thanks guys

The Sniper carries his own magazines,
A decent set of mini Bino´s with a good field of vision, but Bino´s are really only needed on large playing fields.

anything else?

Not the greatest advice maybe but a chest rig

It holds alot like binoculars, medium amount of magazines you don't want to many but not to little depending on your event like 5 mags(also depending on what kind you have) it may stick out but it shud be lower to middle part of your chest and it wil squish down depending on your equipment

Also bring back up iron sights if appicable
Because the last thing you want is your red dot to die out and you can't sight or shoot properly

U need good optics as well. Me, i have the same scope as my sniper so we see the same thing. U really need high powered optics, i red dot will do for the AEG but u want a scope or binoculars. I perfer a scope because i can see where i am with the cross hairs. With binoculars you don't have the cross hairs to refrence of or use as a reference point.

Hey well I kind of feel bad reffering everyone over to this our own website to take a look at the spotters page so I will also reffer you over to this one as well .

My spotter is usually on their belly alot slightly close to me (but i don't like them to be right next to me because i use a ghille suit and that would give a way my position so we just use radios ) so that chest rig would probly not be the best idea for a spotter.

THats why both the spotter and the sniper wear ghille suits, im going to buy the same as my sniper.
