I worked with one cinematographer or shot by myself. My goal was to blend in with the soldiers in order to capture the reality as is.
Making this film has been a challenging exercise in objectivity. The more time I spent with him the more I wondered: is he a soldier or a killer?
I tried to capture that duality in every scene. Eventually, I began to see him as a product of historic events that have shaped his world views - very different from mine.

Harrison mentions in reports that the environmental conditions were perfect for long range shooting, " Before the development of rifling , firearms were smoothbore and inaccurate over long distance.
Barrel rifling was invented at the end of the fifteenth century, but was only employed in large cannons. Over time, rifling, along with other gunnery advances, has increased the performance of modern firearms.
Early forms of sniping or marksmanship were used during the American Revolutionary War. For instance, in at the battle of Saratoga the Colonists hid in the trees and used early model rifles to shoot British officers.
Patrick Ferguson had a tall, distinguished American officer in his rifle's iron sights. Ferguson did not take the shot, as the officer had his back to Ferguson; only later did Ferguson learn that George Washington had been on the battlefield that day.
A special unit of marksmen was established during the Napoleonic Wars in the British Army. While most troops at that time used inaccurate smoothbore muskets , the British " Green Jackets " named for their distinctive green uniforms used the famous Baker rifle.
Through the combination of a leather wad and tight grooves on the inside of the barrel rifling , this weapon was far more accurate, though slower to load.
These Riflemen were the elite of the British Army, and served at the forefront of any engagement, most often in skirmish formation, scouting out and delaying the enemy.
Another term, "sharp shooter" was in use in British newspapers as early as In the Edinburgh Advertiser , 23 June , can be found the following quote in a piece about the North British Militia; "This Regiment has several Field Pieces, and two companies of Sharp Shooters, which are very necessary in the modern Stile of War".
The term appears even earlier, around , in Continental Europe, translated from the German Scharfschütze. The Whitworth rifle was arguably the first long-range sniper rifle in the world.
The Whitworth rifle was far more accurate than the Pattern Enfield , which had shown some weaknesses during the recent Crimean War.
At trials in which tested the accuracy and range of both weapons, Whitworth's design outperformed the Enfield at a rate of about three to one.
The Whitworth rifle was capable of hitting the target at a range of 2, yards, whereas the Enfield could only manage it at 1, yards.
During the Crimean War , the first optical sights were designed to fit onto rifles. Much of this pioneering work was the brainchild of Colonel D.
Davidson, using optical sights produced by Chance Brothers of Birmingham. This allowed a marksman to observe and target objects more accurately at a greater distance than ever before.
Despite its success at the trials, the rifle was not adopted by the British Army. However, the Whitworth Rifle Company was able to sell the weapon to the French army , and also to the Confederacy during the American Civil War , [33] where both the Union and Confederate armies employed sharpshooters.
The most notable incident was during the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House , where on 9 May , Union General John Sedgwick was killed by a Confederate Whitworth sharpshooter at a range of about 1, yards meters after saying the enemy "couldn't hit an elephant at this distance".
During the Boer War the latest breech-loading rifled guns with magazines and smokeless powder were used by both sides. The British were equipped with the Lee—Metford rifle, while the Boers had received the latest Mauser rifles from Germany.
In the open terrain of South Africa the marksmen were a crucial component to the outcome of the battle. The first British sniper unit began life as the Lovat Scouts , a Scottish Highland regiment formed in , that earned high praise during the Second Boer War — Burnham fittingly described these scouts as "half wolf and half jackrabbit.
After the war, this regiment went on to formally become the first official sniper unit, then better known as sharpshooters. During World War I , snipers appeared as deadly sharpshooters in the trenches.
At the start of the war, only Imperial Germany had troops that were issued scoped sniper rifles. Although sharpshooters existed on all sides, the Germans specially equipped some of their soldiers with scoped rifles that could pick off enemy soldiers showing their heads out of their trench.
During the First World War, the static movement of trench warfare and a need for protection from snipers created a requirement for loopholes both for discharging firearms and for observation.
Soon the British army began to train their own snipers in specialized sniper schools. He also devised a metal-armoured double loophole that would protect the sniper observer from enemy fire.
The front loophole was fixed, but the rear was housed in a metal shutter sliding in grooves. Only when the two loopholes were lined up—a one-to-twenty chance—could an enemy shoot between them.
Some were equipped with rubber surgical tubing so the dummy could "smoke" a cigarette and thus appear realistic.
Holes punched in the dummy by enemy sniper bullets then could be used for triangulation purposes to determine the position of the enemy sniper, who could then be attacked with artillery fire.
He developed many of the modern techniques in sniping, including the use of spotting scopes and working in pairs, and using Kim's Game to train observational skills.
In , he wrote his account of his war time activities in his book Sniping in France , to which reference is still made by modern authors regarding the subject.
During the interbellum , most nations dropped their specialized sniper units, notably the Germans.
Effectiveness and dangers of snipers once again came to the fore during the Spanish Civil War. The only nation that had specially trained sniper units during the s was the Soviet Union.
Soviet snipers were trained in their skills as marksmen, in using the terrain to hide themselves from the enemy and the ability to work alongside regular forces.
This made the Soviet sniper training focus more on "normal" combat situations than those of other nations. Snipers reappeared as important factors on the battlefield from the first campaign of World War II.
During Germany's campaigns , lone, well-hidden French and British snipers were able to halt the German advance for a considerable amount of time.
For example, during the pursuit to Dunkirk , British snipers were able to significantly delay the German infantry's advance. This prompted the British once again to increase training of specialized sniper units.
Apart from marksmanship, British snipers were trained to blend in with the environment, often by using special camouflage clothing for concealment.
However, because the British Army offered sniper training exclusively to officers and non-commissioned officers , the resulting small number of trained snipers in combat units considerably reduced their overall effectiveness.
During the Winter War , Finnish snipers took a heavy toll of the invading Soviet army. Simo Häyhä is credited with confirmed kills, [54] [55] most with the Finnish version of the iron-sighted bolt-action Mosin—Nagant.
One of the best known battles involving snipers, and the battle that made the Germans reinstate their specialized sniper training, was the Battle of Stalingrad.
Their defensive position inside a city filled with rubble meant that Soviet snipers were able to inflict significant casualties on the Wehrmacht troops.
Because of the nature of fighting in city rubble, snipers were very hard to spot and seriously dented the morale of the German attackers.
The Wehrmacht re-established its sniper training in , drastically increasing the number of snipers per unit with the creation of an additional 31 sniper training companies by German snipers were at the time the only snipers in the world issued with purpose-manufactured sniping ammunition, known as the 'effect-firing' sS round.
Several different mountings produced by various manufacturers were used for mounting aiming optics to the rifles.
In February the Zielgerät active infrared aiming device was issued for night sniping with the StG 44 assault rifle. A total of , individuals received Red Army sniper training, including Soviet and non-Soviet partisans, with 9, receiving the sniping 'higher qualification'.
In the United States Armed Forces, sniper training was only very elementary and was mainly concerned with being able to hit targets over long distances.
Snipers were required to be able to hit a body over meters away, and a head over meters away. There was almost no instruction in blending into the environment.
Sniper training varied from place to place, resulting in wide variation in the qualities of snipers. The main reason the US did not extend sniper training beyond long-range shooting was the limited deployment of US soldiers until the Normandy Invasion.
During the campaigns in North Africa and Italy , most fighting occurred in arid and mountainous regions where the potential for concealment was limited, in contrast to Western and Central Europe.
The U. Army's lack of familiarity with sniping tactics proved disastrous in Normandy and the campaign in Western Europe where they encountered well trained German snipers.
The American and British forces were surprised by how near the German snipers could approach in safety and attack them, as well as by their ability to hit targets at up to 1,m.
A notable mistake made by inexperienced American soldiers was to lie down and wait when targeted by German snipers, allowing the snipers to pick them off one after another.
Those tactics were also a consequence of changes in German enlistment. After several years of war and heavy losses on the Eastern Front, the German army was forced to rely more heavily on enlisting teenage soldiers.
Due to lack of training in more complex group tactics, and thanks to rifle training provided by the Hitlerjugend , those soldiers were often used as autonomous left-behind snipers.
While an experienced sniper would take a few lethal shots and retreat to a safer position, those young boys, due both to a disregard for their own safety and to lack of tactical experience would frequently remain in a concealed position and fight until they ran out of ammunition or were killed or wounded.
While this tactic generally ended in the demise of the sniper, giving rise to the nickname "Suicide Boys" that was given to those soldiers, this irrational behavior proved quite disruptive to the Allied forces' progress.
After World War II, many elements of German sniper training and doctrine were copied by other countries. In the Pacific War , the Empire of Japan trained snipers.
In the jungles of Asia and the Pacific Islands, snipers posed a serious threat to U. Japanese snipers were specially trained to use the environment to conceal themselves.
Japanese snipers used foliage on their uniforms and dug well-concealed hide-outs that were often connected with small trenches.
There was no need for long range accuracy because most combat in the jungle took place within a few hundred meters. Japanese snipers were known for their patience and ability to remain hidden for long periods.
They almost never left their carefully camouflaged hiding spots. This meant that whenever a sniper was in the area, the location of the sniper could be determined after the sniper had fired a few shots.
The Allies used their own snipers in the Pacific, notably the U. Marines , who used M Springfield rifles. The Italians trained few snipers and supplied them with a scoped Carcano Model Military sniper training aims to teach a high degree of proficiency in camouflage and concealment, stalking, observation and map reading as well as precision marksmanship under various operational conditions.
Trainees typically shoot thousands of rounds over a number of weeks, while learning these core skills. Snipers are trained to squeeze the trigger straight back with the ball of their finger, to avoid jerking the gun sideways.
Sometimes a sling is wrapped around the weak arm or both to reduce stock movement. The key to sniping is accuracy, which applies to both the weapon and the shooter.
The weapon should be able to consistently place shots within tight tolerances. A sniper must have the ability to accurately estimate the various factors that influence a bullet's trajectory and point of impact such as: range to the target, wind direction, wind velocity, altitude and elevation of the sniper and the target and ambient temperature.
Mistakes in estimation compound over distance and can decrease lethality or cause a shot to miss completely. Snipers zero their weapons at a target range or in the field.
This is the process of adjusting the scope so that the bullets' points-of-impact are at the point-of-aim centre of scope or scope's cross-hairs for a specific distance.
A sandbag can serve as a useful platform for shooting a sniper rifle, although any soft surface such as a rucksack will steady a rifle and contribute to consistency.
Many police and military sniper rifles come equipped with an adjustable bipod. Range and accuracy vary depending on the cartridge and specific ammunition types that are used.
Typical ranges for common battle field cartridges are as follows:. Servicemen volunteer for the rigorous sniper training and are accepted on the basis of their aptitude, physical ability, marksmanship, patience and mental stability.
Military snipers may be further trained as forward air controllers FACs to direct air strikes or forward observers FOs to direct artillery or mortar fire.
From , the Russian armed forces has run newly developed sniper courses in military district training centres. In place of the Soviet practice of mainly squad sharpshooters, which were often designated during initial training and of whom only few become snipers per se , "new" Army snipers are to be trained intensively for 3 months for conscripts or longer for contract soldiers.
The training program includes theory and practice of countersniper engagements, artillery spotting and coordination of air support. The method of sniper deployment, according to the Ministry of Defence, is likely to be one three-platoon company at the brigade level, with one of the platoons acting independently and the other two supporting the battalions as needed.
The range to the target is measured or estimated as precisely as conditions permit and correct range estimation becomes absolutely critical at long ranges, because a bullet travels with a curved trajectory and the sniper must compensate for this by aiming higher at longer distances.
As an example, for a typical military sniping cartridge such as 7. This means that if the sniper incorrectly estimated the distance as meters when the target was in fact meters away, the bullet will be millimeters lower than expected by the time it reaches the target.
Laser rangefinders may be used, and range estimation is often the job of both parties in a team. The average human head is millimeters 5.
To determine the range to a target without a laser rangefinder, the sniper may use the mil dot reticle on a scope to accurately find the range.
Mil dots are used like a slide rule to measure the height of a target, and if the height is known, the range can be as well. The USMC standard is that 1 mil that is, 1 milliradian equals 3.
Many commercial manufacturers use 3. It is important to note that angular mil mil is only an approximation of a milliradian and different organizations use different approximations.
At longer ranges, bullet drop plays a significant role in targeting. These are tuned to both a specific class of rifle and specific ammunition.
Every bullet type and load will have different ballistics. If the same bullet was shot with grain Shooting uphill or downhill is confusing for many because gravity does not act perpendicular to the direction the bullet is traveling.
Thus, gravity must be divided into its component vectors. Only the fraction of gravity equal to the cosine of the angle of fire with respect to the horizon affects the rate of fall of the bullet, with the remainder adding or subtracting negligible velocity to the bullet along its trajectory.
To find the correct zero, the sniper multiplies the actual distance to the range by this fraction and aims as if the target were that distance away.
For example, a sniper who observes a target meters away at a degree angle downhill would multiply the range by the cosine of 45 degrees, which is 0.
The resulting distance will be meters. This number is equal to the horizontal distance to the target. All other values, such as windage, time-to-target, impact velocity, and energy will be calculated based on the actual range of meters.
Recently, a small device known as a cosine indicator has been developed. Windage plays a significant role, with the effect increasing with wind speed or the distance of the shot.
The slant of visible convections near the ground can be used to estimate crosswinds, and correct the point of aim. All adjustments for range, wind, and elevation can be performed by aiming off the target, called "holding over" or Kentucky windage.
The shooter must remember to return the scope to zeroed position. Adjusting the scope allows for more accurate shots, because the cross-hairs can be aligned with the target more accurately, but the sniper must know exactly what differences the changes will have on the point-of-impact at each target range.
For moving targets, the point-of-aim is ahead of the target in the direction of movement. Known as "leading" the target, the amount of "lead" depends on the speed and angle of the target's movement as well as the distance to the target.
For this technique, holding over is the preferred method. The term "hide site" refers to a covered and concealed position from which a sniper and his team can conduct surveillance or fire at targets.
A good hide conceals and camouflages the sniper effectively, provides cover from enemy fire and allows a wide view of the surrounding area.
The main purpose of ghillie suits and hide sites is to break up the outline of a person with a rifle. Many snipers use ghillie suits to hide and stay hidden.
Ghillie suits vary according to the terrain into which the sniper wishes to blend. For example, in dry grassland the sniper will typically wear a ghillie suit covered in dead grass.
Shot placement, which is where on the body the sniper is aiming, varies with the type of sniper. These shots depend on tissue damage, organ trauma, and blood loss to kill the target.
Body shots are used because the chest is a larger target. In a high-risk or hostage-taking situation where a suspect is imminently threatening to kill a hostage, police snipers may take head shots to ensure an instant kill.
The snipers aim for the medulla oblongata to sever the spine from the brain. While this is believed to prevent the target from reflexively firing their weapon, there is evidence that any brain-hit is sufficient.
Snipers are trained for the detection, identification, and location of a targeted soldier in sufficient detail to permit the effective employment of lethal and non-lethal means.
Since most kills in modern warfare are by crew-served weapons , reconnaissance is one of the most effective uses of snipers. They use their aerobic conditioning, infiltration skills and excellent long-distance observation equipment optical scopes and tactics to approach and observe the enemy.
In this role, their rules of engagement typically let them shoot at high-value targets of opportunity, such as enemy officers. The targets may be personnel or high-value materiel military equipment and weapons but most often they target the most important enemy personnel such as officers or specialists e.
Other personnel they might target include those who pose an immediate threat to the sniper, like dog handlers, who are often employed in a search for snipers.
If possible, snipers shoot in descending order by rank , or if rank is unavailable, they shoot to disrupt communications.
A sniper equipped with the correct rifle can target radar dishes, water containers, the engines of vehicles, and any number of other targets. Other rifles, such as the.
Other calibers, such as the. Often in situations with multiple targets, snipers use relocation. After firing a few shots from a certain position, snipers move unseen to another location before the enemy can determine where they are and mount a counter-attack.
Snipers will frequently use this tactic to their advantage, creating an atmosphere of chaos and confusion. In other, rarer situations, relocation is used to eliminate the factor of wind.
As sniper rifles are often extremely powerful and consequently loud, it is common for snipers to use a technique known as sound masking.
When employed by a highly skilled marksman, this tactic can be used as a substitute for a noise suppressor. Very loud sounds in the environment, such as artillery shells air bursting or claps of thunder, can often mask the sound of the shot.
This technique is frequently used in clandestine operations , infiltration tactics , and guerrilla warfare.
Due to the surprise nature of sniper fire, high lethality of aimed shots and frustration at the inability to locate and counterattack snipers, sniper tactics have a significant negative effect on morale.
Extensive use of sniper tactics can be used to induce constant stress and fear in opposing forces, making them afraid to move about or leave cover. In many ways, the psychological impact imposed by snipers is quite similar to those of landmines , booby-traps , and IEDs constant threat, high "per event" lethality, inability to strike back.
Historically, captured snipers are often summarily executed. As a result, if a sniper is in imminent danger of capture, he may discard any items sniper rifle, laser rangefinder, etc.
The risk of captured snipers being summarily executed is explicitly referred to in Chapter 6 of US Army doctrine document FM Historically, units that suffered heavy and continual casualties from urban sniper fire and were frustrated by their inability to strike back effectively often have become enraged.
Such units may overreact and violate the laws of land warfare concerning the treatment of captured snipers. This tendency is magnified if the unit has been under the intense stress of urban combat for an extended time.
It is vital that commanders and leaders at all levels understand the law of land warfare and understand the psychological pressures of urban warfare.
It requires strong leadership and great moral strength to prevent soldiers from releasing their anger and frustration on captured snipers or civilians suspected of sniping at them.
The negative reputation and perception of snipers can be traced back to the American Revolution , when American "Marksmen" intentionally targeted British officers, an act considered uncivilized by the British Army at the time this reputation was cemented during the Battle of Saratoga , when Benedict Arnold allegedly ordered his marksmen to target British General Simon Fraser , an act that won the battle and French support.
To demoralize enemy troops, snipers can follow predictable patterns. During the 26th of July Movement in the Cuban Revolution , the revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro always killed the foremost man in a group of President Batista 's soldiers.
This effectively decreased the army's willingness to search for rebel bases in the mountains. An alternative approach to this psychological process is to kill the second man in the row, leading to the psychological effect of nobody wanting to follow the "leader".
The occurrence of sniper warfare has led to the evolution of many counter-sniper tactics in modern military strategies. These aim to reduce the damage caused by a sniper to an army, which can often be harmful to both combat capabilities and morale.
The risk of damage to a chain of command can be reduced by removing or concealing features that would otherwise indicate an officer's rank.
Modern armies tend to avoid saluting officers in the field, and eliminate rank insignia on battle dress uniforms BDU. Officers can seek maximum cover before revealing themselves as good candidates for elimination through actions such as reading maps or using radios.
Friendly snipers can be used to hunt the enemy sniper. Besides direct observation, defending forces can use other techniques.
These include calculating the trajectory of a bullet by triangulation. Traditionally, triangulation of a sniper's position was done manually, though radar-based technology has recently become available.
Once located, the defenders can attempt to approach the sniper from cover and overwhelm them. The United States military is funding a project known as RedOwl Robot Enhanced Detection Outpost With Lasers , which uses laser and acoustic sensors to determine the exact direction from which a sniper round has been fired.
The more rounds fired by a sniper, the greater the chance the target has of locating him. Thus, attempts to draw fire are often made, sometimes by offering a helmet slightly out of concealment, a tactic successfully employed in the Winter War by the Finns known as "Kylmä-Kalle" Cold Charlie.
The doll was then presented as if it were a real man sloppily covering himself. Usually, Soviet snipers were unable to resist the temptation of an apparently easy kill.
Once the angle where the bullet came from was determined, a large caliber gun, such as a Lahti L "Norsupyssy" "Elephant rifle" anti-tank rifle was fired at the sniper to kill him.
Other tactics include directing artillery or mortar fire onto suspected sniper positions, the use of smoke screens , placing tripwire -operated munitions, mines , or other booby-traps near suspected sniper positions.
Even dummy trip-wires can be placed to hamper sniper movement. If anti-personnel mines are unavailable, it is possible to improvise booby-traps by connecting trip-wires to hand grenades , smoke grenades or flares.
Though these may not kill a sniper, they will reveal their location. Booby-trap devices can be placed near likely sniper hides, or along the probable routes to and from positions.
Knowledge of sniper field-craft will assist in this task. The use of canine units had been very successful, especially during the Vietnam War.
The use of sniping in the sense of shooting at relatively long range from a concealed position to murder came to public attention in a number of sensational U.
However, these incidents usually do not involve the range or skill of military snipers; in all three cases the perpetrators had U.
News reports will often inaccurately use the term sniper to describe anyone shooting with a rifle at another person.
Sniping has been used in asymmetric warfare situations, for example in the Northern Ireland Troubles , where in , the bloodiest year of the conflict, the majority of the soldiers killed were shot by concealed IRA riflemen.

As an example, for a typical military sniping cartridge such as 7. This means that if the sniper incorrectly estimated the distance as meters when the target was in fact meters away, the bullet will be millimeters lower than expected by the time it reaches the target.
Laser rangefinders may be used, and range estimation is often the job of both parties in a team. The average human head is millimeters 5.
To determine the range to a target without a laser rangefinder, the sniper may use the mil dot reticle on a scope to accurately find the range.
Mil dots are used like a slide rule to measure the height of a target, and if the height is known, the range can be as well.
The USMC standard is that 1 mil that is, 1 milliradian equals 3. Many commercial manufacturers use 3. It is important to note that angular mil mil is only an approximation of a milliradian and different organizations use different approximations.
At longer ranges, bullet drop plays a significant role in targeting. These are tuned to both a specific class of rifle and specific ammunition.
Every bullet type and load will have different ballistics. If the same bullet was shot with grain Shooting uphill or downhill is confusing for many because gravity does not act perpendicular to the direction the bullet is traveling.
Thus, gravity must be divided into its component vectors. Only the fraction of gravity equal to the cosine of the angle of fire with respect to the horizon affects the rate of fall of the bullet, with the remainder adding or subtracting negligible velocity to the bullet along its trajectory.
To find the correct zero, the sniper multiplies the actual distance to the range by this fraction and aims as if the target were that distance away.
For example, a sniper who observes a target meters away at a degree angle downhill would multiply the range by the cosine of 45 degrees, which is 0.
The resulting distance will be meters. This number is equal to the horizontal distance to the target. All other values, such as windage, time-to-target, impact velocity, and energy will be calculated based on the actual range of meters.
Recently, a small device known as a cosine indicator has been developed. Windage plays a significant role, with the effect increasing with wind speed or the distance of the shot.
The slant of visible convections near the ground can be used to estimate crosswinds, and correct the point of aim. All adjustments for range, wind, and elevation can be performed by aiming off the target, called "holding over" or Kentucky windage.
The shooter must remember to return the scope to zeroed position. Adjusting the scope allows for more accurate shots, because the cross-hairs can be aligned with the target more accurately, but the sniper must know exactly what differences the changes will have on the point-of-impact at each target range.
For moving targets, the point-of-aim is ahead of the target in the direction of movement. Known as "leading" the target, the amount of "lead" depends on the speed and angle of the target's movement as well as the distance to the target.
For this technique, holding over is the preferred method. The term "hide site" refers to a covered and concealed position from which a sniper and his team can conduct surveillance or fire at targets.
A good hide conceals and camouflages the sniper effectively, provides cover from enemy fire and allows a wide view of the surrounding area.
The main purpose of ghillie suits and hide sites is to break up the outline of a person with a rifle. Many snipers use ghillie suits to hide and stay hidden.
Ghillie suits vary according to the terrain into which the sniper wishes to blend. For example, in dry grassland the sniper will typically wear a ghillie suit covered in dead grass.
Shot placement, which is where on the body the sniper is aiming, varies with the type of sniper. These shots depend on tissue damage, organ trauma, and blood loss to kill the target.
Body shots are used because the chest is a larger target. In a high-risk or hostage-taking situation where a suspect is imminently threatening to kill a hostage, police snipers may take head shots to ensure an instant kill.
The snipers aim for the medulla oblongata to sever the spine from the brain. While this is believed to prevent the target from reflexively firing their weapon, there is evidence that any brain-hit is sufficient.
Snipers are trained for the detection, identification, and location of a targeted soldier in sufficient detail to permit the effective employment of lethal and non-lethal means.
Since most kills in modern warfare are by crew-served weapons , reconnaissance is one of the most effective uses of snipers. They use their aerobic conditioning, infiltration skills and excellent long-distance observation equipment optical scopes and tactics to approach and observe the enemy.
In this role, their rules of engagement typically let them shoot at high-value targets of opportunity, such as enemy officers. The targets may be personnel or high-value materiel military equipment and weapons but most often they target the most important enemy personnel such as officers or specialists e.
Other personnel they might target include those who pose an immediate threat to the sniper, like dog handlers, who are often employed in a search for snipers.
If possible, snipers shoot in descending order by rank , or if rank is unavailable, they shoot to disrupt communications. A sniper equipped with the correct rifle can target radar dishes, water containers, the engines of vehicles, and any number of other targets.
Other rifles, such as the. Other calibers, such as the. Often in situations with multiple targets, snipers use relocation.
After firing a few shots from a certain position, snipers move unseen to another location before the enemy can determine where they are and mount a counter-attack.
Snipers will frequently use this tactic to their advantage, creating an atmosphere of chaos and confusion. In other, rarer situations, relocation is used to eliminate the factor of wind.
As sniper rifles are often extremely powerful and consequently loud, it is common for snipers to use a technique known as sound masking. When employed by a highly skilled marksman, this tactic can be used as a substitute for a noise suppressor.
Very loud sounds in the environment, such as artillery shells air bursting or claps of thunder, can often mask the sound of the shot.
This technique is frequently used in clandestine operations , infiltration tactics , and guerrilla warfare.
Due to the surprise nature of sniper fire, high lethality of aimed shots and frustration at the inability to locate and counterattack snipers, sniper tactics have a significant negative effect on morale.
Extensive use of sniper tactics can be used to induce constant stress and fear in opposing forces, making them afraid to move about or leave cover.
In many ways, the psychological impact imposed by snipers is quite similar to those of landmines , booby-traps , and IEDs constant threat, high "per event" lethality, inability to strike back.
Historically, captured snipers are often summarily executed. As a result, if a sniper is in imminent danger of capture, he may discard any items sniper rifle, laser rangefinder, etc.
The risk of captured snipers being summarily executed is explicitly referred to in Chapter 6 of US Army doctrine document FM Historically, units that suffered heavy and continual casualties from urban sniper fire and were frustrated by their inability to strike back effectively often have become enraged.
Such units may overreact and violate the laws of land warfare concerning the treatment of captured snipers. This tendency is magnified if the unit has been under the intense stress of urban combat for an extended time.
It is vital that commanders and leaders at all levels understand the law of land warfare and understand the psychological pressures of urban warfare.
It requires strong leadership and great moral strength to prevent soldiers from releasing their anger and frustration on captured snipers or civilians suspected of sniping at them.
The negative reputation and perception of snipers can be traced back to the American Revolution , when American "Marksmen" intentionally targeted British officers, an act considered uncivilized by the British Army at the time this reputation was cemented during the Battle of Saratoga , when Benedict Arnold allegedly ordered his marksmen to target British General Simon Fraser , an act that won the battle and French support.
To demoralize enemy troops, snipers can follow predictable patterns. During the 26th of July Movement in the Cuban Revolution , the revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro always killed the foremost man in a group of President Batista 's soldiers.
This effectively decreased the army's willingness to search for rebel bases in the mountains. An alternative approach to this psychological process is to kill the second man in the row, leading to the psychological effect of nobody wanting to follow the "leader".
The occurrence of sniper warfare has led to the evolution of many counter-sniper tactics in modern military strategies. These aim to reduce the damage caused by a sniper to an army, which can often be harmful to both combat capabilities and morale.
The risk of damage to a chain of command can be reduced by removing or concealing features that would otherwise indicate an officer's rank.
Modern armies tend to avoid saluting officers in the field, and eliminate rank insignia on battle dress uniforms BDU. Officers can seek maximum cover before revealing themselves as good candidates for elimination through actions such as reading maps or using radios.
Friendly snipers can be used to hunt the enemy sniper. Besides direct observation, defending forces can use other techniques. These include calculating the trajectory of a bullet by triangulation.
Traditionally, triangulation of a sniper's position was done manually, though radar-based technology has recently become available. Once located, the defenders can attempt to approach the sniper from cover and overwhelm them.
The United States military is funding a project known as RedOwl Robot Enhanced Detection Outpost With Lasers , which uses laser and acoustic sensors to determine the exact direction from which a sniper round has been fired.
The more rounds fired by a sniper, the greater the chance the target has of locating him. Thus, attempts to draw fire are often made, sometimes by offering a helmet slightly out of concealment, a tactic successfully employed in the Winter War by the Finns known as "Kylmä-Kalle" Cold Charlie.
The doll was then presented as if it were a real man sloppily covering himself. Usually, Soviet snipers were unable to resist the temptation of an apparently easy kill.
Once the angle where the bullet came from was determined, a large caliber gun, such as a Lahti L "Norsupyssy" "Elephant rifle" anti-tank rifle was fired at the sniper to kill him.
Other tactics include directing artillery or mortar fire onto suspected sniper positions, the use of smoke screens , placing tripwire -operated munitions, mines , or other booby-traps near suspected sniper positions.
Even dummy trip-wires can be placed to hamper sniper movement. If anti-personnel mines are unavailable, it is possible to improvise booby-traps by connecting trip-wires to hand grenades , smoke grenades or flares.
Though these may not kill a sniper, they will reveal their location. Booby-trap devices can be placed near likely sniper hides, or along the probable routes to and from positions.
Knowledge of sniper field-craft will assist in this task. The use of canine units had been very successful, especially during the Vietnam War.
The use of sniping in the sense of shooting at relatively long range from a concealed position to murder came to public attention in a number of sensational U.
However, these incidents usually do not involve the range or skill of military snipers; in all three cases the perpetrators had U.
News reports will often inaccurately use the term sniper to describe anyone shooting with a rifle at another person. Sniping has been used in asymmetric warfare situations, for example in the Northern Ireland Troubles , where in , the bloodiest year of the conflict, the majority of the soldiers killed were shot by concealed IRA riflemen.
The sniper is particularly suited to combat environments where one side is at a disadvantage. A careful sniping strategy can use a few individuals and resources to thwart the movement or other progress of a much better equipped or larger force.
Sniping enables a few persons to instil terror in a much larger regular force — regardless of the size of the force the snipers are attached to.
It is widely accepted that sniping, while effective in specific instances, is much more effective as a broadly deployed psychological attack or as a force-multiplier.
Snipers are less likely to be treated mercifully than non-snipers if captured by the enemy. In , the U. However, shortly after the initial invasion, violence against coalition forces and among various sectarian groups led to asymmetric warfare with the Iraqi insurgency and civil war between many Sunni and Shia Iraqis.
Through to November the Army had attributed 28 of 2, U. Training materials obtained by U. Sniper activity was reported during the Arab Spring civil unrest in Libya in , both from anti-governmental [82] and pro-governmental [83] supporters, and in Syria at least from pro-government [84] [85] forces.
Even before firearms were available, soldiers such as archers were specially trained as elite marksmen. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Putting a. Snipers are what military strategists refer to as force multipliers. Simply put, a force multiplier is an individual or small team that, through the use of special tactics, can do the damage of a much larger force.
What's amazing about snipers is that they are capable of force multiplication without ever directly engaging the enemy. Because of the nature of their missions, snipers travel with very little gear, patiently moving under the cover of brush or night.
But they never travel alone. Snipers teams often have to stay completely still for hours or days at a time to avoid detection, waiting for the right moment to take the shot.
In the next section, we'll learn how sniper teams work together to achieve "the perfect shot. In the interest of privacy, the Army Ranger sniper we interviewed for this article asked not to be named; he will be referred to as Army Ranger Sniper for the duration of this interview.
