Absolutely extraordinary, wasn't it. He said that a scope required you to raise your head too high, exposing you to visual observation and enemy fire.

[@hiirosama9204]

True

[@vorpalblades]

He didn't say that. He shot from a sitting position so it wouldn't matter. Scopes weren't weatherproof so moisture would infiltrate and cause fog and frost. No scope also eliminates reflections and glare.

I have seen him pictured with both a standard iron sight rifle and with a scoped one. But I can attest to the fact that you can hit a person sized target easily with iron sights at 600 yards or more if you practice and are reasonably good with a rifle. When we are younger, our eyes work a lot better. I used a 1930 vintage Persian Mauser at our shooting range to plant a 12" group of 6 shots at 640 yards using the rifle's iron sights. A lot of the people at the range can not do any better with their scoped rifles. The other thing about iron sights is they don't fog up and your sight picture is huge allowing for fast accurate shots on multiple targets. Never underestimate iron sights when in the hands of a good rifleman.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko, history’s deadliest female sniper, is considered to be a Soviet propaganda myth!!!. A few quotes from this remarkable book: "Pavlichenko, who "shot one hundred and eighty-seven fascists", was not even rewarded for fighting in Odessa battle. How is this possible? After all, not only were the soldiers medal awarded, but also the chefs, administrative staff, and even the artists of the front brigades to raise morale in the army. It is all the more strange that for ten killed or wounded enemies the Soviet sniper received a medal, twenty guaranteed the order. Seventy-five is a bricked hero of the Soviet Union. Therefore, until the end of 1941, Pavlichenko should be twice the Hero. Meanwhile, on her first order she had to wait for the fall of Sevastopol. She received it during convalescence in a New Russian hospital. The Golden Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union decorated her breast only after returning from across the ocean in 1943!!!"

Roza Shanina was a very fine shot. She made plenty of shots in a short period of time, before she got killed. That is why she is mentioned. Had she lasted out the war, she might have been the number 1 sniper of Russia!

[@VinnyS9143101982]

Chris Kyle swore on the Bible that Hathcock was a better sniper than he was.

[@ianmcnulty6194]

That wouldn't be difficult as Kyle made most of his heroic deeds up and how stupid can you be to take someone with a mental problem to a gun range and leave him with 2 loaded guns and walk off down range with his friend. It's not a very bright thing to do.

[@paulziolo9241]

Your video is inaccurate and misleading due to your cavalier use of pictures. How can you possibly refuse to distinguish a North American bison (an iconic animal if ever there was one) and a Cape Buffalo?

[@willteller5286]

Thanks for pointing out the water buffalo, Adrian.

[@jamesolivito4374]

#8 that West Virginia boy Billy Dixion was pretty impressive for what he was using.

[@afatcatfromsweden]

there is currently a sniper alive today who is more deadly than craig harrison who is also british tho his name is unknown to protect him from the taliban

[@dennislloyd494]

I left when they showed water buffalo while talking about hunting bison on the American plains

[@OldMtnGeezer]

So did I.

[@larrykowallis962]

I noticed the same thing. ruins all the credibility very tacky

[@davedunham7910]

You have omitted one of the deadliest snipers of the First World War. Francis Pegahmagabow was born on March 9, 1891,on what is now the Shawanaga First Nation reserve in Nobel, Ontario, Canada. He was an Ojibwa native and served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Belgium and France. He was credited with 378 kills and 300 enemy captured. He was awarded the Military Medal with two bars. No history of great snipers is complete without including this exceptional marksman and scout.

[@lesteregbert4867]

Don't know the difference between a water buffalo, North American buffalo.

The Purple Heart isn't for "brave efforts." It is for being wounded. The Silver Star is for bravery.

[@taurektaurek6213]

Purpele Heart is rewarded for being wounded in combat IIRC

[@TheRetiredVeteran]

@@taurektaurek6213 That is what I meant. I left out the word "combat", but for those of us who spent a whole career in the military we already know that. I served four "combat" tours. Besides, the video was talking about combat. That is a given.

They left out a Canadian sniper who broke records for distance !

Convenient

[@cronas2]

Look at when this was published.....the record stood as it was on time of broadcast...but obviously its now been broken.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

@@cronas2 No Harrison's is still the distance record. The Canadian was the longest shot before it was broken by Harrison. As Harrison's was measured by an Apache laser, it is probably the only accurate one too. He shot two machine gunners at that range.

[@davidwevans4132]

Model Railway Noob. Francis M. Was a WW1 Sniper if I remember correctly. Also, If I remember correctly, he used a breech loading British-mfgd single shot chambered in .303 British. Now that is some damn fine shooting!!!

[@bruster46]

Missed was the Canadian sniper who is accredited with the longest shot in history.

[@richardswann5300]

They prefer to overlook that because he's Canadian.

[@lukaamiranashvili]

Vasil Kvachantiradze (Georgian: ვასილ შალვას ძე კვაჭანტირაძე; January 1907 - February 9, 1950) was a top Soviet sniper during World War II. He entered Red Army service in 1941 and is credited with confirmed kills numbering at least 215 officers and soldiers of the German Wehrmacht during the Vitebsk-Orsha Offensive.[1][2] and around 534 confirmed kills total during Operation Bagration or during the war.

[@klevee6076]

And a Canadian has the record for longest kill. In fact the record for the 4 of the longest 6 confirmed kills shots are held by Canadians.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

No the Canadian's was broken by Harrison. That is still the longest confirmed kill and as it was measured by an Apache laser, it is probably the most accurate.

[@raukris1307]

@@modelrailwaynoob Sorry, but in '01 (or '02) a Canadian sniper in Afghanistan broke the long-standing record of longest confirmed kill, set by an American in Vietnam. Another Canadian topped that shot shortly thereafter. Harrison set a new record in '09--but another Canadian earlier this year again recorded the longest kill.

[@chrisnorris3641]

Well Canadian special ops are among the best in the world. No surprise there.

[@tarl1812]

Harrison record is 2.4 km , 6 sec to target. Canadian 3.45 km , 10 sec.

How could you not name Lyudmila Pavlachenko? She had over 300 confirmed kills in WWII. Even Woody Guthrie wrote a song in her honor!

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

I was expecting her to be their too.

[@Redplanetlover]

Aside from not mentioning a single German you neglect to mention the longst shot ever, 3871 yards, by a Canadian. Oh yeah the 3rd and 4th longest confimed shots are also by Canadians.

[@ramezayad157]

[@Mrtrex1963]

at 8 minutes and 15 seconds into your video clip, while talking about Albert Waldron, you inadvertently put in a picture of Master Sergeant Gary Gordon, army sniper killed in Mogadishu. RIP Gordon and Shughart.

Guys, as Adrian Larkins says below, you show african buffalo instead of Bison when you speak about bufalo. I couldn't continue watching since the rest might be as mistaken as that.

[@rockin335]

Snipers were a vital necessity in saving many lives, unfortunately many suffered from PTSD after returning from war. The distances of the shots that killed the enemy were remarkable.

Saw the movie American sniper based on the true story of Chris Kyle played by Bradley Cooper, brilliant movie, highly recommend it. Shame the guys life ended the way it did though, but what a send off he got, state funeral, the route lined for miles with people saying goodbye. I'm a Brit btw, not American.

[@AlCapone-dl3cd]

The book and movie was great.

[@abntemplar82]

what ever happened to Lydmila Vanchanko and Vasily Zaytzev? Vanchanko had 309 confirmed kills and Zaytzev 225 confirmed. don't see how you could make a list of top 10 without those two being in the mix.

[@Saratogan]

Not buffalo -- bison. You used the wrong animal.

[@amfd5349]

And Francis Pegahmagabow? A Canadian army sniper of WW1 and the most lethal of that war at 378 kills+. He was also a Native (aka "Indian") which might explain why he is usually overlooked and never seems to make these silly lists.

An error about the Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä. He was not hit by an explosive bullet. He was wounded in a counter attack to Soviet positions and was first thought dead when his comrades found him after the attack. His confirmed over 500 kills were from sniper shots alone. Besides that he is credited for several hundred unconfirmed kills in repelling or counter attacking the Soviets using a Suomi submachine gun.

that's not even posiable, the bullet would get stopped or deflected by all the layers of glass in the scope
