The work that goes into getting a good position to take a shot is immense. When a sniper takes a shot, there are countless variables to consider before squeezing the trigger - wind speed, wind direction, range, target movement, mirage, light source, temperature, barometric pressure, and that’s just the beginning. And while military snipers are indeed elite shooters who hide, line up a target in their sights and pull the trigger, there is a lot more to it than that.
The word “sniper” evokes some unsettling imagery – a lone gunman, undetectable, on the hunt. With further adieu I give you Robert Valdes take on “What Military Snipers are”. Popularized by the movie “American Sniper” there are many misconception of what a sniper does in the military, there’s more to what the movies portray them as assassins. A lone gunman, undetectable, on the hunt.
