This question always draws an argument when asked. Bodycount?
Effect
on the battlefield? Most strategic shot? Longest shot? Many
factors go
into the equation.
- The Soviets probably had the finest snipers in WW2, as a group.
Vasilli Zaitsev with 224 kills at Stalingrad alone and more than
400 kills in all (some say more than 500) is surely ranked in the
top tier. Ludmilla Pavlichenko ranks as the best woman sniper with
309 or
more kills.
- Simo Hayha of Finland is credited with more than 500 kills (by
sniper, 200 more with an SMG) during only 100 days, in the Winter
War.
- Billy Singh of the Australian Light Horse would be the top WW1
sniper.
- Carlos Hathcock, USMC during Vietnam, is legendary for (among
other things) setting a world record (longest range confirmed kill,
stood for 40 years), shooting and killing an enemy sniper through
the scope and crawling through 1000 yards of heavily defended enemy
territory to eliminate a Viet Cong general on one of his first
missions.
Actually, the greatest sniper of WW1 is Francis "Peggy"
Pegahmagabow, a Canadian sniper who earned 378 confirmed kills.

Asked in Definitions, Literary Devices and Figures of Speech
Who was the antagonist in the sniper?
There are 2. the other sniper is one of them and the war is
another. of course the other sniper is the antagonist because he
and the sniper are fighting against each other but the reason why
the Irish Civil War is also the antagonist is because the war is
basically causing the problem. is there were no war, then no one
would die from the war like the other sniper (the sniper's brother
whom he had killed.)
Hope this helps

Asked in World War 2, War and Military History, Japan in WW2, Anne Frank
Why was World War 2 the best war ever?
Frankly, there is no "best" war. War is evil, nasty,
destructive, and horrible. There is no "best" about anything to do
with war.
Unfortunately, that is not to say that war is the worst thing
possible. Sometimes, war is preferable to the alternative.
But, no matter what people tell you, World War 2 is not somehow
a "better" or "best" war.
