Vasily Zaitsev, or however you spell his name.  He was at Stalingrad and killed a ton of germans.  The movie Enemy at the Gates is about him.
From Wikipedia.
"Captain Vasily Grigoryevich Zaytsev was a Soviet sniper during World War II, notable particularly for his activities between November 10 and December 17, 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad. He killed 225 soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht and other Axis armies, including 11 enemy snipers. Prior to 10 November, he had already killed 32 Axis soldiers with the standard-issue Mosin-Nagant rifle . Between October 1942 and January 1943, Zaytsev had made 242 verified kills, but the real number may be much higher, some argue it might have been as many as 400."
While he may not have had the most kills, I think he was the best.

good point. but still it is a lot harder to kill somebody than shoot a can. for example emotinally. not everone is able to kill a man but they can shoot a can without hesitation.

What is ROFL.

But a trained assassin/sniper is would not have trouble with emotions.  And a person is a damn sight bigger than any can ive seen.

What is ROFL.
ROFL is the internet acronym for "Rolling On Floor Laughing"

could you clarify that one. I ain't sure I understand what you mean.
Title: Re: the best sniper
Post by: Slornie on September 06, 2007, 09:38:27 AM
A person is a lot bigger than a can, therefore is essentially an easier target.
Title: Re: the best sniper
Post by: Meyer on September 06, 2007, 09:44:05 AM
yep. but in war soldiers are or at least ought to be careful so they try to hide and usually do so very succesfully.

and body armour, vital spots and toher things come into play with humans, not so much with cans
Title: Re: the best sniper
Post by: Meyer on September 07, 2007, 01:06:01 AM
yes. it is harder to kill a man than it is to shoot a can. I would like to see someone who disagrees.
