- Note: Sharpshooters are much more than skilled marksmen. They must be stealthy and patient, willing to sit hidden in uncomfortable places for hours, and much more. This instructive volume highlights the different weapons, ammunitions, and other equipment favored by various sharpshooters, their benefits and shortcomings, and their development. Readers will also enjoy learning about the favored tactics and ruses used by these eagle-eyed warriors. A list of notable sharpshooters and snipers highlights their fascinating feats as well as the wars in which they participated and country affiliations. Tales of tremendous adventures will keep readers engrossed and eagerly flipping pages.
