Talk:Toad

Not to be a pain guys, but I served four years as a sniper and pathfinder in First Ranger Battalion. As such, I want to say that it is VERY difficult to spot a sniper with a first generation thermal imager-even a second-gen for that matter-if the ghillie suit is properly made and the soldiers take proper cover/concealment. Combine this fact with the extremely harsh SERE training that American and British snipers receive, especially SOCOM sniper, I'd have to hazard that Toad and Archer COULD have easily avoided the Shadow Company scans. They very well could have surviced. Also, an M14/Mk.14 EBR (which the Modern Warfare M14 actually is) is an extremely accurate weapon system that is issued to spotters, who ARE trained snipers. Mostly, U.S. Navy SEAL snipers use them, as well as some British SBS shooters. All spooters are usually armed with modified and accurized Designated Marksman Rifles. The M14 could easily used by the primary sniper too, so it wouldn't be too unusual for either Toad or Archer to use it. Having said that, the primary shooter does use a bolt gun.
