Locating a sniper using crack/bang method

The crack/bang method uses sound delay between bullet crack and muzzle blast to estimate sniper range and direction.

Technique

  • Listen for the supersonic "crack" of the round, followed by the "bang" of the rifle.
  • Long delay = distant shooter; short delay = closer shooter.
  • Use the muzzle blast direction to orient toward the shooter.
