HOOAH! It's an Army Thing

That depends on who you are asking. If you ask a Special Forces sniper (or a friend or family of), he will be the most accurate and deadly. If you ask an SAS sniper (or a friend or family of), he will be the most accurate and deadly. Etc, etc.... |

You can buy their enemy's rifiles. Never fired, dropped only once. |

Nah of course not. They couldn't hit a barn door at a yard with a bus. If you want a proper sniper come to england. |

No.
Special forces snipers are trained better, longer, and are equiped with better rifles. |
|

Yep. |
|

Absolutely, no question about that. They go through some major intense training which trains them to get their target. |

Its part of the head game they play with all of us as we go through training. "Your Part of the Best" Army Rangers Navy Seals and Marine Snipers.You have to remember when most of were going through training we were just kids. Its a lot easier for a kid to go out there and do what they have to if they think there the best and unstoppable (gonna come back alive).
Don't know about Marine Snipers first hand but I can tell ya Rangers die. |

They're the deadliest. Not doubt about it. The most accurate? Doubtful, unless their targets are their allies. We Canadians have lost soldiers to the US's friendly fire. With friends like these, who needs the Taliban? |
|

No... the Canadians hold that record. Longest confirmed kill. |

It is all about where you are when the mission is called. I think the jar heads are better at getting to the target but the Army snipers are a tad more accurate. |
