...9 PENEMBAK JITU...

1. Pembunuh Mayjend John Sedgwick pada Perang Sipil di AS


Pertempuran paling berdarah di AS ini ternyata melahirkan sebuah sejarah sniper dunia, ketika seorang Jenderal karismatik dari Utara yang bernama John Sedgwick tewas diterkam timah panas oleh seorang pasukan Konfederasi dari jarak yang sangat jauh pada waktu itu yaitu, sekitar 1,000 yards (910 m) dalam sebuah pertempuran yang disebut Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, Pada 9 Mei 1864.
 

2. Pembunuh Jenderal Johan Harmen Rudolf Köhler Pada Masa Perang Aceh I


Perang Aceh I yang dipimpin oleh Jenderal Kohler sebenarnya cukup sukses dengan berhasil mencaplok Mesjid kebanggaan rakyat Aceh, yaitu Masjid Raya Baiturrahman.

Namun pada tanggal 14 April 1873 ketika sang jenderal sedang menginspeksi di areal mesjid tersebut, tiba-tiba seorang penembak bangsa Aceh dalam posisi merunduk melepaskan tembakan dari jarak 100 meter dan mengenai jantung sang jenderal.

Beberapa saat kemudian sang jenderal itu tewas. Peristiwa tersebut tentu mengejutkan para pasukan kompeni ini dan akhirnya sang pahlawan si pembunuh jenderal itu gugur diberondong peluru oleh pasukan kompeni.


3. Simo Häyä


Mungkin inilah sniper yang paling terkenal di dunia karena membukukan rekor kill hit yang paling tinggi, yaitu membunuh lebih dari 500 pasukan Rusia dalam periode Winter War tahun 1939-1940.

Julukan bagi si Simo Häyä ini adalah "White Dead" karena tentara Finlandia ini selalu menggunakan baju berwarna putih sebagai kamuflase karena medan pertempurannya di area bersalju. Yang sungguh luar biasa adalah Simo Häyä hanya menggunakan senjata bold action standar tanpa menggunakan teleskop, cukup dengan iron sight ato pisir besi biasa!

Bagi Simo, penggunaan teleskop pada area bersalju justru akan merugikan karena akan memantulkan cahaya dan persembunyian si sniper akan mudah diketahui.


4. Lyudmila Pavlichenko(RUSIA)/(UNI SOVIET)

Kalo soal emansipasi wanita, AS harusnya banyak belajar dari seteru abadinya, Rusia. Ketika wanita AS masih berkutat pada hal-hal dapur dan sejenisnya, wanita Rusia sudah punya pahlawan. Lyudmila Pavlichenko adalah salah satu dari sekian tentara merah wanita Rusia yang bertempur pada era perang dunia kedua.


Yang membuat dia sangat luar biasa adalah kemampuan menembaknya sangat luar biasa, dimana pada masa itu Lyudmila membukukan kill hit sebanyak 309 jiwa, termasuk 36 sniper musuh! Namun sayang, dia terkena serangan mortar dan harus ditarik dari medan pertempuran.

Pada masa pemulihan luka itu, Lyudmila berkunjung ke negara AS dan Kanada dalam rangka propaganda Uni Soviet. Dia pun bertemu dengan Franklin D. Roosevelt di White House dan menjadi warga Rusia yang pertama kali bertemu presiden AS di White House.

Setelah sembuh pun Lyudmila tidak diterjunkan di medan pertempuran lagi, hanya dijadikan instruktur untuk sekolah sniper, hingga perang usai. Ia dianugrahi medali Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union dan wajahnya dijadikan stampel prangko.


5. Vasily Zaytsev(RUSIA)/(UNI SOVIET)

Pernah nonton film yang dibintangi oleh Jude Law yang berjudul 'Enemy At The Gates'? Film ini mengangkat kisah seorang Sniper Top pasukan Uni Soviet yang bernama Vasily Zaytsev. Vasily dianggap sebagai sniper paling berbahaya bukan karena jumlah kill hit (149 kills, 400 yang belum bisa dikonfirmasi), tapi karena duel mautnya dengan sniper top dari Jerman, yaitu Heinz Thorvald.


Duel antar sniper ini kerap kali terjadi di Stalingrad, dimana para sniper ini kerap harus berpindah tempat dari puing satu ke puing yang lain dan kadang harus menggali agar tidak diketahui musuh, yang sangat dikenal dengan sebutan perang tikus (War of the Rats).

Kisah kejayaan Vasily yang dipropagandakan Rusia tentu memaksa Jerman mengirimkan sniper terbaiknya, Heinz Thorvald, untuk menghabisi Vasily. Jerman pun membalas propaganda tersebut dengan propaganda serupa, maka tersiarlah kabar bakal ada pertarungan antar dua sniper tangguh. Mereka pun akhirnya bertemu dan bertempur yang akhirnya dimenangkan oleh Vasily.

MAJU.TEROS.PANTANG.MUNDUR.BUAD.UNI SOVIET....

6. Francis Pegahmagabow


Pegahmagabow adalah salah satu sniper hebat yang dimiliki oleh Kanada. Pada perang dunia 1, Pegahmagabow yang keturunan aborigin ini mencatatkan kill hit sebanyak 378 kills dan dianggap sebagai salah satu sniper yang paling berbahaya pada masa perang dunia 1.


7. Chuck Mawhinney

Pada perang Vietnam, ada dua nama sniper AS yang sangat terkenal, yaitu Carlos Hathcock dan Chuck Mawhinney. Nama Chuck mungkin tidak seterkenal Carlos Hathcock yang mampu membunuh seorang jenderal Vietnam Utara, tapi bila dilihat dari jumlah kill hit yang dikumpulkan Hathcock harus angkat topi kepada Mawhinney dengan membukukan rekor 103 kills, sedangkan Hathcock hanya membukukan 93 kills.

Namun demikian, si Mawhinney tidak ingin terlalu mengekspose hal tersebut dan lebih memilih hidup tenang dan melupkan semua kenangan tentang Vietnam.

Ini gambar senapan yang dipakai oleh Mawhinney dalam Perang Vietnam


8. Carlos Hathcock

Kehebatan dan bakat alamnya sangat mengagumkan. Biasanya bila seorang sniper selalu ditemani oleh satu orang spotter yang bertugas sebagai asisten dan pengukur jarak tembak bagi sniper. Namun Hathcock mampu bekerja sendirian ketika mendapat tugas untuk membunuh seorang jenderal Vietnam Utara sendirian di sarang musuh!


Selain itu, Hathcock mempelopori penggunaan senapan kaliber 0.5 inchi sebagai senjata sniper jarak jauh. Yaitu dengan memodifikasi .50-caliber M2 Browning Machine Gun sebagai senjata sniper dengan menempatkan teleskop di atasnya, dan memecahkan rekor menembak mati seorang vietkong sejauh 2.500 yards ato sekitar 2.275 meter!

Dari sinilah muncul pemikiran untuk melahirkan senapan kelas berat (heavy sniper rifle) untuk jarak yang sangat jauh maupun untuk menembak obyek berat seperti ranpur (kendaraan tempur). Jadi bisa dikatakan nama Hathcock sangat melegenda diantara para sniper dunia.


9. Rob Furlong

Berpuluh-puluh tahun rekor menembak jauh Hathcock tidak tergoyahkan, akhirnya rekor lama ini dipecahkan oleh seorang Sniper dari Kanada, Rob Furlong, ketika dia dan bersama rekannya di medan ganas Afghanistan pada operasi berjuluk Anaconda pada tahun 2000.

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/925928-tm.jpg

Tepatnya di lembah Shah-i-Kot, Furlong berhasil merubuhkan seorang pengamat mortir Al-Qaeda dari jarak yang sangat jauh, yaitu 2.430 meter (2.657 yd / 1.509 miles).

John T. Thompson founded the Auto Ordnance Corp. in 1916, and began his developments in submachine guns with purchase of John Blish patent (1915), that described a delayed blowback automatic firearm. This patent described delayed blowback breech system in which a sloping metal wedge interlocked the breech block with the gun body. Under high pressure, as when the cartridge fired, the angle of the slope was such that the mating faces jammed solid. As the pressure dropped, the faces were able to slip across each other, the wedge moved up due to the slope, and the breech unlocked. This idea was used in all Thompson submachine guns except for M1 and M1A1 (those were simply blowback operated).
The first Thompson experimental submachine gun appeared in 1919, and first production model appeared in 1921; it was manufactured under contract by Colt Firearms Manufacturing Co, as well as later M1928 models. Production of M1928A1 and M1 submachine guns was carried out by Auto-Ordnance and Savage, and some licensed copies were manufactured by B.S.A. in Great Britain.
There also were some submachine guns that never reached full-scale production, such as "Military model" M1923, which was developed with intent to extend the effective range out to 600 yards (approx 550 meters). To achieve this goal, M1923 was chambered for a special .45 Remington-Thompson ammunition, which fired heavier 250-grain (16,2 gram) bullet (as opposed to standard 230-grain .45ACP bullet) at higher muzzle velocities of about 1450 fps (440m/s). This weapon also had longer barrel, and optional bipod and bayonet mount. It was tested but never produced in any significant numbers. The other rare version was the original Model 1927, which was a semi-automatic only version of Model 1921.
The first Thompson gun to see some military use was Model 1928, used by US navy during its expedition in Nicaragua. The so-called "Navy" model 1928 was distinguished by a horizontal forearm that replaced the front grip, and by added sling swivels. With the start of World war 2, US Army procured a large number of Model 1928 submachine guns in "Navy" configuration, marked as US Model 1928A1. These weapons were rather expensive to make, and in 1942 Army adopted a simplified version of M1928A1, known as M1. A little later, an M1A1 version was adopted, which further simplified the design by adoption of a fixed firing pi; otherwise M1A1 were similar to M1 submachine guns. Thomson submachine guns served in US Army well into the Vietnam era, although in limited numbers. American police used Thompson guns until 1970s or 1980s, and few still could be found in some police armories in USA and several other countries of the world.
Thompson submachine guns were widely exported commercially prior to and after WW2; Many guns were supplied to Britain and USSR through Lend-lease program during WW2. It must be noted that Soviet troops generally not liked Tommy guns, because of excessive weight and lack of bullet penetration, compared to 7,62mm submachine guns such as PPSh-41 or PPS-43.
Thompson M1921 and M1928 submachine guns were delayed blowback operated, selective fired weapons, based on Blish principle. Blish patent described a delayed blowback breech system in which a sloping metal wedge interlocked the breech block with the gun body. Under high pressure, as when the cartridge fired, the angle of the slope was such that the mating faces jammed solid. As the pressure dropped, the faces were able to slip across each other, the wedge moved up due to the slope, and the breech unlocked. The wartime M1 and M1A1 submachine guns used simple blowback action. All Thompson submachine guns fired from open bolt. The cocking handle was located on the top of receiver on Models of 1921 and 1928, ad on the right side of the receiver on models M1 and M1A1. Separate manual safety and fire mode selector levers were located on the left side of receiver, above the trigger. Barrel was usually partially finned, and on model 1928, fitted with so-called Cutts compensator (not present on M1 and M1A1). Feed was from double-row box magazines containing 20 or 30 rounds, or drum magazines holding 50 or 100 rounds. Box magazines were inserted into the magazine slot from below; drum magazines were inserted into the same slot from the side. Drum magazines were not available for M1 and M1A1 submachine guns.
Furniture included pistol grip, detachable wooden shoulder stock and either a detachable forward grip or a horizontal forearm. Sights on pre-war models included front blade and protected rear, which combined a fixed open-notch blade and raising diopter, which was adjustable for both windage and range (up to 500 yards). Wartime models (M1928A1, M1 and M1A1) used a simple fixed aperture (diopter) rear sight, with or without protecting side "ears".
At the present time, Kahr Arms makes a variety of "Tommy-guns" under Auto Ordnance trade mark. These weapons are limited to semi-automatic fire only and usually have longer barrel to conform to US laws.
