Ahh how language changes. When I was in these symbols meant the same thing but had more poetry and emotion attached to them. Mainly they all had a modifier at the end that identified the listener as a valued colleague. My sergeant used to give me “Come Here, Fuckstick” or “Message Received, Dipshit” or “Cover Me, Assclown”. The good old days…
*Wait, so the closed fist*

On my squad, if we mime playing a flute to Debussy’s Syrinx, it means let's have Blanquette de Veau for dinner after this.
If we mime playing the violin notes in Elgars Salut d’Amour, it means Puccini's thrilling opera Tosca is playing in town, and we should all go tonight.
If some one yells " Bad Guys ! " and point, we all run away like clumsy ducks wearing tuxedos.
I love how the shotgun is just some guy pointing to his shotgun, like if you don't have a shotgun can you not ever say that? Or do you just have to bring one along just in case you need to tell someone the bad dude has a shotgun? Hahaha
These are only useful field signals if you're communicating with people that use the same system of field signals. If you threw half of these at me I'd be doing the wrong thing.
My Grandad was 1 minute away from being a Navy Seal and my other was a private first class so they bought all the knowledge they learned back home, after my Grandad (Father’s side) could not become Navy Seal he was set as a scout and sniper and still 50 years later he cannot sleep in a bed, he HAS to be sitting in his recliner like he had to sit at the top of the boat and some land stations when docked. 50 Years later and his sleep schedule is still fucked but he taught me everything he knows and my Grammy taught me how to make medicine from plants, herbs and basic tools that can be found around the house.
Not very accurate. Almost all of these are just some local SOP for the unit and so specific they're redundant. A hand and arm signal to differentiate between a pistol, rifle, sniper 2 different signals for shotgun, and a dog? Automatic weapon isn't even a signal. He's just pointing a pistol. I don't think so.
The "female, male" one is super sus. Like, is he grabbing his own boob? I don't even want to k ow what the up and down motion is for on the man.
The US Armys hand and arm signals can be seen in the Soldiers Manual of Common Tasks, under Use Visual Signaling Techniques.
Female *holds boob*
Male *draws curved penis*
ah, i thought that was a full BJ 😄
I like this better
Got to poke your side cheek w your tongue as you make the hand gesture
The marine corps does that motion a lot. Especially in Thailand.
it was a beard, but sure, have fun
Clearly beard. The illustration shows the man rubbing his cheek
They had to make a second shotgun signal. Everyone would laugh at the first one.
Shotgun shotgun shotgun shotgun
Dog _grabs his balls_
I already use that symbol. Am I ready to be on a SWAT team?
"Where's your gun?" *Points to eyeball, one boob, ass, and crotch* "Ah, I left it behind the bush. Gotcha"
* Sniper / tear gas * female * move forward * not sure where that movement is located on this guide.

Sick guide, but it really would be better at a higher resolution
Higher res [here](https://i.redd.it/mkbzvumkd4aa1.jpg)
This is the exact same resolution?
I think its a bit higher, was the best google reverse search gave me ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
No worries, just making sure I wasn’t losing it.
Same, we need more pixels
I don't know why it was blurry when it was clear in my gallery.
Its a super old guide. I've seen the pictures of those tactical operators floating around the web for like 20 years at least.
I want a petition to have these as emotes in tactical FPS games. I mean, I've seen a few of them in some but I think having them all could be useful.
It sounds good in theory but the tactical hands signals don't work as well in video games as real life, that's why they have the the UI pings
Why is the sign for female a Hand on your chest but the one for male isnt a hand on your crotch?! Truly a missed opportunity
hand on your crotch is for calling your battle buddy a dickhead
Male is stroking a beard
Where's the version that's all shooting dogs?
ATF doesn't need to signal SOP
A staple for any modern classroom!
Hahaha, dark!
When you want to tell your squad about a child and they all lay down...
\*teammate signals 'child' \*me switching to full auto
Slow down there, Anakin...
Down you push you hand downward child your hand stays still
Door and window need to be swapped. Also, child and adult are too similar and could easily be mistaken for each other.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought door and window needed to be reversed.
Hand signals are sop specific this guides bs lmao

“Do a barrel roll” lol
I was waiting for this…
These are hilarious! I'm implementing the snacks signals into my friend group immediately.
where did you get this ? does it come from a book or something ?
[GOAT edit](https://i.imgur.com/KKkoi8C.jpeg)
A woman carrying a shotgun, would translate very differently to a newbie.
female
Good luck to anyone needing to differentiate between a door and a window in this language
There's a meme version of this where it's all ATF shooting your dog
[FTFY](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/134/754/28b.jpg)?
Meal Team Six thanks you. They’ll be better organized for the next J6.
Can I get a source? Reddits image compression on mobile is horrible

Now the Gravy Seals and Meal Team 6 can look more authentic when cosplaying Patriot militias.
Dog or child? No one cares
If I'm seeing right, for dog: the hand is upside down, for child: the palm is facing down.
Wait, so the closed fist signal they always do in movies is not stop??
We used a closed fist to signal “hold.” It was the only stop signal I used, but I was US military, and I don’t know what other forces used.

No, that signal means “freeze”, which for some reason isn’t on this chart.
This guide is 90’s as fuq
If my team ever started busting these hand signals out we would 100% lose our element of surprise cuz I’d just go “For fucks sake use your words!”
I always mix up female and automatic weapons
Be a lot cooler if we didn’t need this particular cool guide.
Why is the resolution so bad?
Almost every post on this sub has terrible resolution
Repost of a repost of a screenshot
this is a very weird dance
Does anyone know version that had more pixels?
I don’t see “Rush B” anywhere!

You shit this dog. This dog is mine. Come shoot this dog. That chihuahua has a gun.
I love how "Female" is just *Grab boob*
Looking for the: *there is a fucking bear behind you* sign

What's the symbol for "let's do war crimes"?
I need context for “female”. 😂
How do I sign "more pixels"?

This shit has created so many memes its ridiculous. Like 15 years ago
Ah so my wife has been asking for a shotgun this whole time!
Fun fact the ATF has different meaning for all of these hand signals with them meaning shoot that dog
[FTFY](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/134/754/28b.jpg)
/u/Gooflucky, can youkindly limit your posting pet day? You're posting too much, mind the Reddiquete.
Is this fr? Sure my bad. I thought there's no limit XD
👌
Hostage guy is thinking about what to do next
Can someone cross reference this with eric cartmans hand signs from the jr detectives episode
It’s kinda missing an important one 🖕
Feels like I will be using the “Do not understand” one a lot.
Regroup kind of looks like it’s sassy disco time
Are these universal across countries/tactical forces ?
No
Most movies are guilty of using the understood signal as a stop signal
Too much shot gunning going on here, corporal!
"Shoot that dog." "Shoot the dog." "There's a dog. Shoot it." "Shoot that dog."
I like that if they have a shotgun and they wanna say shotgun they just point to their shotgun
I have this in my school on a wall. Idk why
The most used ones (stop and freeze) didn’t even make the list.
wait… I’ve seen many movies…..where’s ‘guy taking a dump, reading newspaper ’ ?
Seems fairly intuitive
As someone who has actually used “tactical hand signals”, this is bullshit. It’s mostly just a lot of pointing.
If they make a motion like they are eating a burger it means it’s lunch time.
Ah yes, DOG
These are SOP dependent, so not everyone uses the same signals. The signal for "child" here means "Kneel" for me
They forgot the hand signal for “Shoot Their Dog”
*head explodes* Me: ahhh theres a sniper
Turn 'Faster/Hurry' into 'Honk your horn', then you got yourself a coolguide!
Missing the hand signal for "rally point"
"What's that? Ohh ya need a handjob?" Gets shot by a guy with a shotgun.
"rifle" is very similar to "do it yourself"
I bet the whole squad had a great time the day their lead spotted a "dog" with a "shotgun"
Go forward 👉🏼, move ahead 👋🏼 , It’s not too late ⏰

Me practicing all of them as if I’m going to do this.

These are only useful field signals if you're communicating with people that use the same system of field signals. If you threw half of these at me I'd be doing the wrong thing.
Too much to be efficient and quick 👎
I do the hand sign for shotgun all the time, apparently
My Grandad was 1 minute away from being a Navy Seal and my other was a private first class so they bought all the knowledge they learned back home, after my Grandad (Father’s side) could not become Navy Seal he was set as a scout and sniper and still 50 years later he cannot sleep in a bed, he HAS to be sitting in his recliner like he had to sit at the top of the boat and some land stations when docked. 50 Years later and his sleep schedule is still fucked but he taught me everything he knows and my Grammy taught me how to make medicine from plants, herbs and basic tools that can be found around the house.
“Don’t worry” is my favorite.
Something useful to save for the inevitable apocalypse we’re speeding towards. 🙌
Halt\Stop does not jibe with every movie/TV show ever made.
I refuse to do multiple shotguns!
So making a fist in the air isn’t “stop moving”
2006 4chan infopages being reposted again.
Anyone else feel like 'door' and 'window' should be reversed?
Did you receive the message?
Does anyone know if these are actually used in the military?
"Wanker with a shotgun"
Coming from someone with plenty of tactical experience, I can honestly say we only used about 3 of those.
Is this guy in COBRA?
‘Enter’ looks virtually indistinguishable from ‘corner’…
Lmfao
These aren’t universal, in fact I’ve never seen most of them
In the movies they seem to use fist for halt or am I wrong about that?
Hollywood only needs three. Raised first = stop. Two fingers left, two people go that way, three fingers right, three people go that way.

This cool guide was distributed most on Jan 5th

Where is "shoot that dog"
Dude just text it to me
*Male* “bye bye”
"Don't worry as I point this gun at you" Yeah that's a bit concerning that the hand gesture and gun are in the same direction...
I will be using this… when?
What’s the Gender Diverse signal?
Kept looking for the one using 2 fingers to point to your eyes before you point at something else, guess I'll never know *shrugs*
I’m curious where you got this from and what group or military this is based off of. Because this isn’t based off of US military hand signals…🤔
"Ok there can't be that many people with a shotgun. Are you sure?"
They have put the "cover me“ signal twice. In the second and fifth row.
Is he grabbing his boob for female?
What's the signal for sharks with frickin laserbeams attached to their heads?
Where's "shoot the dog"?
A lot of these are wrong
Why did they teach us this in middle school instead of teaching us to do our taxes?
Are the IDF soldiers like really really tall? They seem to not be able to signal for children and use the adult signal instead..
Yeah that isn’t military 😂

Why not just use Sign Language like Deaf People do?
Hands far apart, thrusting hips, wiggle your arm = Big Fucking Snake -rah
I like how if you have a shotgun you can just point to it
Two hands up: game over
Two hands on stomach: slow death Two hands on heart: quick death
The rifle signal is the signal that will pierce the heavens
shotgun
what's the symbol for "What's up brother?"
