The most effective sniper is Mikhail Surkov, who reliably destroyed 702 Germans. And Simo Haiha is nothing more than a fake of Finnish propaganda. Nowadays, the most effective snipers are a group of Russian snipers of the Pacific Fleet, destroying Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries in Ukraine.

To overcome thermal detection we use a camelback with a leach line that pushes water to the guile suit so it cools down the burlap and fabric areas of the suit. This allows the ambient temperature to be spread uniformly across the sniper. The human eye looks for movement when scanning long ranges so one has to move extremely slow if they will be exposed to forward visibility, we try to stay along creek beds or terrain that is lower than the observer’s line of sight. Also remember that sound will travel over twice as far in colder temperatures so even a twig snapping can be heard at long distances, especially at night when things are more quiet in the forest, try to use background noises as you maneuver but don’t become rhythmic as you move, that is another thing humans can pick up on naturally because forest sounds are never rhythmic.

The mention here of “reversed bullets” made me curious, so I looked up some info. They were literally regular rifle rounds, with extra propellant (gunpowder) added, and the projectile fitted into the cartridge backwards, with the pointed end toward the back. At close range, reversed bullets were fairly effective against the light tank armor used early in WWI. They didn’t usually penetrate the armor, but the blunt bullet-end slapped into it hard enough to cause fragments to break off the inside of the armor (spalling), injuring or killing the tank crews. There are legends that the soldiers rigged these rounds in the trenches, but apparently this was not true. They were made and supplied by the usual ammunition factories. A 1915 New York Times article claimed that they were a new version of “dum dum bullets,” which were banned, but this was also an error. Used against troops, they were no more deadly than regular bullets, and they were less accurate and had shorter range, because they were less aerodynamic. Later in WWI, both sides deployed heavier armor, against which the reversed bullets were ineffective, so their use was phased out.

He was credited with 378 sniper kills and he captured over 300 prisoners. Feels good to be Canadian.

You forgot to add William Edward Sing, DCM was an Australian soldier of Chinese and English descent who served in the Australian Imperial Force during World War I, best known as a sniper during the Gallipoli Campaign. He took at least 150 confirmed kills during that campaign, and may have had over 200 kills in total

Nice! I don't hear enough about the Australian forces. I bet you guys have some boss snipers as well! What kind of rifle did William use? Come to think of it, I'm completely unfamiliar with Australian weapons! I have three rifles myself. A Ruger 10/22 carbine (Upgraded for range and silence), A Henry AR7 U.S. survival rifle (Full kit with the bag. Needs a silencer and extra magazines though. I even the 22LR reloading kit for it.), And a Savage Axis bolt action 30/06! I just upgraded the scope for that one! I still need to get the reloading equipment for it.

The sniper is a fascinating breed. I do wonder if sniping is something that can be taught to just about any one or if its a case of you either have it or you aint. Being exposed to guns from a very young age does seem to be a common trait. Their patience and concentration is extraordinary. I have a question about Simo Hayha, So he would sit for hours if not days in the freezing cold, waiting for the perfect time to shoot. In minus 40 degrees temperatures and not moving an inch. Wouldnt this cause hypothermia rather quickly? Even with winter clothing?

It can be taught to anyone with sufficient coordination. Now, I'm not trained up to quite the same high level, but I was trained up to the point I am a marksman (sort of a step in between sniper and regular rifleman), and I'd never fired any firearm until I was 14. Most of it is learning foundational skills, and how to do range, spin drift and windage calculations as part of ballistic trajectory calculations. In theory, you can teach anyone - the question is, how long do you want to take teaching them, and is there something their natural skill is better suited to?

That guy in the thumbnail would surely give away his position with his fire and orange tent. Wouldn't he?

The sniper in the opening picture would not be deadly, he would be dead. Sitting next to a campfire? Even the normal grunts in the army were told to not do that, let alone sniper who is supposed to stay hidden :)

The movie enemy at the gates shows the battle between the two sniper's in Stalingrad from memory the Germans had vasili has a highly valuable target the German sniper was sent to the front to deal with him all sniper activity was noted and passed on to intelligence who deduced that vasili was working in a particular area his way of targeting officers and changing positions only to return to position again the next day was a unique signature the germans noticed and thats how they would find each other on the battlefield.

You forgot to mention the time that Carlos Hathcock and his spotter, Cpl Burke caught a NVA company, freshly arrived in South Vietnam, out in the open in the middle of Elephant Valley. The company was pinned down for 5 days in the sunlit valley behind a burm while the snipers were up on the hillside in the shade of the jungle and out of range of the NVA's AKs. Anybody who tried to run got dropped so,before long, the survivors were too scared to even try. A classic example of how effective snipers can be. This kept the NVA company from joining in the attack on a US Special Forces base at the end of the valley.

The red army did use a type of ghilliesuit they used what some call a wraith outfit the standard uniform covered in Cole sack strips and a blackened cloth with a cape and hood to blend into the shadows and ruble of the eastern front or white cloth to blend into snow and it was interchangeable to wear brush to cover and covered the face with soot

So I just now started the video, but somehow I've got a feeling that you've got a segment about Carlos Hathcock. I mean, a video about snipers, how could you not?! Speaking of which, Alice in Chains song, 'Rooster' is about him.
