Video clip from "Black Hawk Down" showing U.S. Army Delta snipers, Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart, facing incredible odds as they attempt to rescue Mike Durant and secure the crash site around Super-Six-Four until reinforcements arrive.

In September 1942, 26-year-old Soviet sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko visited Minneapolis with three other European war heroes for a three-day tour of the Twin Cities to help sell war bonds and stamps. Pavlichenko, known to her enemies as “Lady Death” and often called “Girl Sniper” by the press, was one of 2,000 female snipers in the Red Army during World War II, of which only 500 survived. She had a kill count of 309, a record for a female sniper to this day. Her United States and Canada tour, which began after a shrapnel injury took her out of combat, was part of the Soviet Union's attempts to convince the other Allies of World War II to open a second front against Nazi Germany. Following the war, she worked as a research assistant at Soviet Navy headquarters. She died from a stroke in 1974 at the age of 58.
"Clean cut in appearance and straightforward, she can't quite conceive why all the fuss is being made over her." In Russia, she explained, all women are fighting. Minneapolis Star, September 28, 1942.
Read her memoirs or learn more about her in the 2015 Russian film, Battle for Sevastopol.

thoughts on us maaaybbbbeeeeeee ooohhhh idk maybe… getting even more snipers????? i wanted to know right from a payday member and management want to see what the general reaction would be
you’re the second person i’m asking btw
I hear the expense of snipers is rather costly these days, Mr/Ms/Mx Dozer. There may be Anarchy amongst the masses, you know? Of course, some may stoically accept what they must. But are you prepared to gamble that all away? Do you have the muscle (or indeed, sociopaths) on hold to withstand the oncoming assault?
In any case, I'm sure more snipers will make the local kingpins raise a glass in celebration.
...
(My serious answer is along the lines of NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

So my friend made this after playing with a really bad sniper on her team.
She told me, he spend 20 second failing to shoot an enemy just down him, has he was barely moving cause she was fighting him and she did not have a killing weapon (reef lux are not the best for close range combat) and this guys killed him.
They stayed playing with him nontheless for the next 3 round.
