Can’t say I’ve ever spoken to a real sniper. My great grandad was one heck of a marksman back in WWI so I am told. The family has his old service medals still stashed away. He ended up going into law enforcement after the war. Retired as a firearms instructor with the PA State Troopers. I’ve taken his old .38 service pistol to the range a few times. I can hit a coke can at 25 yards with it a couple of times out of the 6 rounds it will hold. I’ve heard from many folks (not family members) that he could shoot a cigarette in half at that distance with one shot. If I see him on the other side I’ll have to get him to show me how to shoot.
