So Now, It's a Competition?

The world's most lethal military sniper is understood to be a British Royal Marine, who recorded most of his 173 confirmed kills during tours of Afghanistan in 2006/07.

The Briton, who has not been named, reportedly served in the Royal Navy's elite unit for more than a decade. He served both in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to the Sun.

According to the Sun, the British sniper hit 90 Taliban fighters in one stronghold in just one day.

Take THAT, Chris Kyle, with your 160 confirmed kills.

A source told the newspaper, “He is not interested in scores or kill counts.

“He took no satisfaction in the job he had to do. Because he saw the enemy as humans he has not struggled emotionally or psychologically with what has happened.

"Not"?  Is that a typo?

Anyway, our hero Chris Kyle wasn’t a wimp about it. He took the credit; he was proud, and he would have gladly killed more. Besides, reports are that those 160 were just confirmed kills, not all of his kills - that 160 is a conservative estimate.  So he would have beat out the weenie Brit if we count them all.

Sources said the British marine's figure of 173 is “conservative,” with unconfirmed strikes believed to take his total even higher.

Oh, sure.

Vasily Zaitsev is known as the Soviet army’s deadliest sniper with some 400 kills. He reputedly killed 225 soldiers during the Battle of Stalingrad [in WWII].

Many reports claim that the deadliest sniper in history was Simo Häyhä, nicknamed ‘White Death’. The Finnish sniper allegedly killed at least 700 men in less than 100 days during World War II.

We’re gonna need a bigger war and a new hero.
