What makes a Sniper? (2017x91)

:

Disclaimer: I received the book – Snipers at War by John Walter - as a complimentary copy from Naval Institute Press. Note that I used plenty of Naval Institute Press books in previous videos that I bought myself. So what makes a sniper? This video explains certain characteristics, skills, attributes, emotional stability and backgrounds that are required and/or recommended for sniper. Based on the US Army Field Manual and the book Snipers at War. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » SOURCES « Walter, John: Snipers at War.
