| Abstract
|
:
|
"The sniper has lurked in the shadows of warfare for more than two centuries. In that time, snipers have gone from being seen as little more than paid assassins to being the most highly trained of all infantrymen, and they are an invaluable asset on any modern battlefield. Two hundred years of development and innovation divides the Napoleonic rifleman, whose muzzle-loader was capable of extreme-range shots of 300yds, from the modern sniper whose high-precision .50 and .338 calibre rifles can achieve kills at well over a mile."--P [4] of cover.
