Sniper - as of my specialisation in Black Shield Assassins - is one of the deadly and most effective killing squad in every Army around the world!

The main mission of the Sniper is to destroy valuable targets at extended range with as few ammunition as possible.

In most cases, valuable target means the human being (enemy high rank soldier, dangerous and untouchable-by-law criminal, terrorist, head of the nation -president, prince, sultan, sheikh-, etc.)

Extended range means the target in most cases are in the area/place that very hard (if not impossible) to be taken out by ground soldier or air attack.

As few ammunition as possible often means one shot. The range for sniper fire may vary from 100 meters or even less in police/counter-terror scenarios, or up to 1 kilometer or more - in military or special operations scenarios.

Weapon - Snipers use specialised high-precision rifles, mostly - large caliber ones, used also as anti-material weapons, to destroy, or, more often, render unusable or unoperable, targets such as radar cabins, jeeps, parked aircrafts, etc.

Training - In addition to markmanship, snipers also trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, reconnaissance and observation techniques.

Here are some pictures of them.. Snipers and their rifles! Enjoy!
