In World War II, an average of 25,000 bullets were expended for each soldier killed. By the end of the Vietnam War, that figure had increased to 200,000 rounds. Yet, on average, trained snipers expend only 1.3 bullets for every confirmed kill. It's no wonder their enemies refer to them as the "most hated men on the battlefield", and why their combat skills - honed through years of training and battlefield experience - are so prized by military commanders.
Journey inside the science and psychology behind the greatest sharpshooters in military history, through the scope of the world's most extreme marksmen. Revisit the history of the sharpshooter role and its evolution and importance as a force multiplier on the battlefield. Uncover the latest advances in training and weapons technology that add further weight to the fear and mystique of the sniper. And deconstruct the most dangerous sniper missions, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan, with the brave men who were there, and pulled the trigger.
