edgecrusher Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have read many stories on him, and that is impressive, almost single handedly holding off the hammer and sickle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtMA Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Häyhä's story is incredible. He was a simple 5 ft tall farmer that used a (iron sites only, apparently) Mosin-Nagant Model 28 to regularly kill Russian soldiers out to 400 yards. Häyhä is credited with even more record breaking kill numbers with his Suomik 31 SMG. A close military friend of mine bought a MA compliant version of the SMG. It's definately neutered but still fun.

Togreenfeet Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Dont get it stuck in your mind these lists are all inclusive. I was fighitng alongside the US Marines in the surge for Baghdad and a young Force Recon Marine, we shall call Roman isnt on the list...........he's still an operator and I dont think lists like this need to be published because of harm it could bring to operators families. Just my opinion. Yes, he was a sniper and yes he was a Force Recon Marine, and yes he squeezed a static line jump in with us during the build up so he wouldnt lose jump pay. I like the Force marines motto, they truly are the Quiet Professionals.so I'm just saying these guys all did their job, but the list isnt complete, hell who knows he might be working for Christians In Action today...............haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Agreed thier are many unsung warriors that have our eternal gratitude.Never forgotten forever loved.FYI http://www.snipercentral.com/tidbits.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtMA Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I second that but a few of us were simply commenting about the respect that past snipers deserve who have used far less tech to hold the stats that have been documented. Common sense does dictate that the war continues and media formats would likely place modern snipers and their families in danger if numbers were reported.

Among many it's common knowlege that our Armed forces are killing the s h i t out of the enemy but the media would have a field day with the bodycount the men have accured sending these bastards to Allah.And sadly those bastards would come after the families.You are right brother J.
