The "Offical" sneaking thread - Page 3

Honestly guys, there are quite a few problematic things in this thread
First, a knife CAN be a silent weapon, when used properly.
A shock attack for silence (I honestly don't want to say them over the internet) followed by a fatal attack for death can be silent. The Marine technique is a great example. When the knife is put into the side of the neck, the brachial nerve is severed, stunning the victim, then the carotid artery, jugular vein and windpipe are severed.

THe quietest way to put your foot down is known as the stalk. It's hard to explain, but I'll take a crack at it.

Put your hands on your knees. life one leg to chin level, and place the inside of the ball of foot down, then transition to the outside, then the heel, then the toes. Then, millimeter by millimeter, transfer your weight to it, while checking for creaks. This should tak ~1 minute (66 seconds to be precise)
Normal camo is nearly worthless at night unless prone or in a shadow, when facing a trained observer such as me.

The basis of all stealth is the awareness of the other people around you, and there complacency (routine). I have a great article on this, but does anyone actually want it?

I have been training in stealth for roughly nine years. I can answer any questions you have about stealth or CQC. Go for it.

based on what you have posted else where I not sure people should take your advice.

a knife is not a silence weapon, you cannot kill instantly with a knife, therefore your oppent can make sound.

If your not going to post it why bother mentioning it?

Your 'marine' techique is what my training officer refurres to as a OIB (only in books) attack. Meaning it is almost impossible to preform in real life.

I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the anatomy of a human body, but I did hear that stabbing someone in the back of the neck right below the edge of the skull at an upward angle is an instant, therefore silent kill. I'm not sure if this is true seeing as though I have not tried it or seen anyone else try it, but if someone with an education would like to reply to this I would be pleased.

ummm I sure there was more on this thread or am I going slightly insane?

To answer your question (again?) yes there is but is is surrounded by cartage and almost impossible to hit so I would even bother wasting brain cells thinking about it.

When using knives aim for the trachea (windpipe for the illiterate).

No air = No screaming.

But they can still struggle, and run into a tree.

Cutting it doesn't mean they can't scream, any hunter will tell you that. You have to cut and pull back on the neck so the two ends down come in contact. Get a tube and cut it, you can still blow through it.
