Harrasment Missions by Snipers

jin gy leh, must press ST to quickly do the same for our army also, cannot su seh...Originally posted by John Ching:FYI, the U.S Marines are currently testing out a new material for uniforms that is claimed to be able to defeat heat detectors. The principle of it is like the stealth fighters, meaning that it does not really make the wearer disappear or invincible but rather distort the heat signature of the wearer.
Not sure if the material has been tested for sniper duties yet.
but nvm, soon we will have alien's vision dat can see human aura, so wear wat also no use unless u can hide ur aura totally.

That would bring us back to the point where snipers are cold-blooded, souless animals.Originally posted by chunyong:jin gy leh, must press ST to quickly do the same for our army also, cannot su seh...

Remember reading from somewhere that a sniper in a real war really demoralised the enemies with his actions. What he did was really simple. Wait until an enemy got out of his foxhole, let him squat down to sh*it before letting him have it. After a few sh*itters were shot this way, the others did not dare to go out and had to do their business in their foxholes. This would be truly demoralising!

I think your story about soldiers being shot by the enemy sniper while taking a crap, is similar to an expliot by Gunny Carlos Hathcock.
There was a V.C sniper that had been taking out Marines every day at a particular hour which resulted in making the lives of the Marines in the base uncomfortable. It ended when the Gunny was dispatch to hunt & silence that V.C sniper. -

Afterall, 93 kills is not the top score for a sniper.
I read that a Finnish sniper called Simo Häyhä killed about 505. I beleive no one has managed to top that.
The difference between Mr Simo, and Gunnery SGT Hathcock, is that Mr Simo is a hunter-turned-guerilla fighter, while Hathcock is a trained USMC sniper.
Additionally, hathcock's 93 kills are confirmed kills.
What's the different between confirmed and unconfirmed kills?
It's simple.
Confirmed kills are witnessed kills, with someone to vouch for them.
Unconfirmed kills are just that, unconfirmed.
To example, we know that Annabel Chong once held the dubious record of having copulated with the most guys continously, right? How do we know? Because it was witnessed. Invigilated.
Why not try submitting a record to the Guinness World Records? Say for example you managed to type a 160character sms in 60secs? Will they believe it? Nope.
Also, we must take into consideration the quality of the enemy. Mr Simo achieved his kill total against Soviet troops. Everybody knows that Soviets dont respond well to unexpected things. Everybody also knows that WWII era Soviet attacks were humongous. Nobody's going to miss a company or two.
SGT Hathcock, on the other hand, achieved his 93 kills against a formidable, tenacious, determined enemy. Namely the Viet Cong and NVA.
Hathcock does not have the highest documented kill total. No.
Matthias Hetzenauer, the Wehrmatcht's top sniper, with 345 confirmed kills, has 3 times his.
Consider for the moment, the civilian casualties that would result if a trained, experienced sniper decided to start shooting up civilians? 500 would be a pittance. Try a few times that. -
That would be costly. Each matched round costs S$1 or so.
