 | | The current record for longest range sniper kill is 2,430 metres (7,972 ft), accomplished by a Canadian sniper Master Corporal Aaron Perry in 2002, during the invasion of Afghanistan, using a.50 BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan bolt-action rifle. |
 | | Snipers shoot people who are in high-rank uniforms, who talk to radio operators, who sit as passengers in a car, who have military servants, or who talk and move their position more frequently. |
 | | Snipers do, however, require a different type of psyche to the average soldier – they must be comfortable being alone for long periods, be very self-reliant, and be capable of carrying out 'cold-blooded' kills – attributes that not every soldier will share. |
