SNIPER / COMBAT SNIPING ONE-ON-ONE / A.GILBERT / 1995

ONE-ON-ONE

The World of Combat Sniping

By Adrian Gilbert

Published by Pan – 1995.

The Skills, the Weapons, the Experiences.

For the ordinary soldier, modern warfare is an impersonal business over which he has little direct control. For the sniper, however, it is a deadly one-on-one confrontation – with only one winner. He operates alone, or with a single companion, and may have to wait motionless for hours, sometimes even days, before he is able to fire the single shot that brings down his prey.
