  Woodsball marksman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Woodsball marksmen are used almost exclusively in advanced woodsball and scenarioball, due to their general lack of usefulness in speedball and the general lack of organization in basic woodsball (most marksmen dislike playing without support, especially infantry support).
Paintball marksmen are players who concentrate on honing their marksmanship and tuning their markers more for accuracy than for speed, as they often are in speedball.
Marksmen are used often as an intimidating concept to the opposing team, as in psychological warfare.

 Woodsball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paintball marksmen are virtually unique to woodsball and its close relative, scenarioball.
Woodsball marksmen are best known for their ability to sit back from the front line, safely out of harm's way, and longball the enemy positions from afar with effects as great if not greater than those of the infantry on the front line itself.
Classifying marksmen as special operations elements in such games should be done with hesitation, as often players from many other positions are utilized as special operations forces as well.

 Mother of Jean Charles de Menezes demands police be charged | the Daily Mail
The grieving mother of Jean Charles de Menezes last night demanded that the two police marksmen who shot her son dead on a London tube train and the senior woman officer who led the disastrous operation should be charged with manslaughter - at the very least.
Responding to authoritative reports that no one is going to face charges in connection with the 27-year-old electrician's death, his mother Maria said she feared a cover-up and that those responsible would escape criminal charges.
Mrs de Menezes and her husband Matozinhos, 66, were reacting as reports reached the Brazilian media that Britain's Crown Prosecution Service is poised to rule out the possibility of bringing charges over the killing of their son in the wake of the 7/7 attacks on London.
