Assuming you mean which sniper rifle (as it is quite obvious from the plot who the actual sniper was), the weapons used over the series include: * M40 (customised Remington 700); * H&K SR9T (a target-shooting variant); * SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle); * Mosin Nagant M91/30 (mislabelled as a Mauser in the film). Other weapons are used in the third film, but no record of their make could be found.

What was the name of the Canadian-issued rifle?
The Ross .303 rifle was initially issued to Canadian troops during World War 1. It was highly accurate, but due to its unreliability it was unsuitable for use in the muck and grime of the trenches and so was retained only by snipers and marksman. The rest of Canadian forces were reissued with the Lee-Enfield .303 SMLE.
A question specific to the US Navy and not the US Marines is did the US Navy have a sniper program during the Vietnam war and did the Navy field war fighters?
1. No one used the term "war fighter" during WWII or Vietnam War. Its a new term accepted after those wars. 2. Snipers (US Sharpshooters/US Marksmen) have never been officially accepted by any US military branch; EXCEPT during the actual war. Then DISBANDED after the war. 3. Nearly all special units (special outfits) received special "sniper"/"marksmanship"/"sharpshooter" practice (skills) during their operational training: Green Beret (SF), SEALs, etc. Specific to your question: No. The US Navy, US Air Force, US Coast Guard simply performed their normal duties. Even the USMC & US Army did NOT accept sniper schools until the very late 1960s (about 1969) for the Corps and the US Army didn't get on the band wagon until the 1980s! Then they established official permanent sniper schools in the United States. The US Armys official sniper schools were in South Vietnam and only at Division Camps. Another words Division trained them. The only exception to that was the 5th Mech Inf Division at Quang Tri (I Corps) they were only a brigade (1st Bde) so that brigade had to train its own snipers. When the war ended those men were disbanded.

How were snipers a problem in World War 1?
Not such of a big problem. In world war 1 the sniper were not such a big problem due to the way of fighting. There was a mess of dozens of soldiers in a single combat that were ordered to run forward. You can picture this in your head and understand that sniper will not be so effective. In world war 2 the Russian snipers did a great job at Stalingrad for examples. They killed many German soldiers and more important demoralize the German fighting spirit.
What are the benefits of a sniper?
Snipers are needed in law enforcement and the military. If there is a hostage situation, a sniper could have a clear shot to take out the hostage taker if the situation warrants that. Likewise, police snipers can take out gunmen such as snipers and spree shooters from a safe distance away. In the military, you would need snipers to take out specific targets. Obviously, you need someone with excellent skills, since you want to pick off some of the opponent's good marksmen without drawing too much attention to your platoon's presence. You'd want people who can take out threats at a long distance off.
What are the parts of a Sniper Rifle and How it is different from a normal rifle?
Since US military snipers came before police and civilian (target shooters) snipers; well cover that subject. 1. US snipers prior to WWI were called SHARPSHOOTERS (or Marksmen). 2. After WWI the term sniper became popular. 3. All US snipers (Marksmen, Sharpshooters) used standard issue military rifles, but had scopes installed on them. With the exception of the USMC in Vietnam, they used civilian (adapted for military use) bolt action hunting rifles. US Army snipers in Vietnam used standard issued M14 service rifles that the army called XM21 weapon's systems. The "X" meaning experimental. After Vietnam, they were called M21 weapon's systems. 4. The XM-21 weapon's system was simply a hand fitted M14 service rifle. Armourers (the military name for gunsmiths) put them together from the best M14 parts and they digested MATCH ammunition. MATCH ammo was simply loaded with precision powder and exact measurements. They had the words MATCH engraved upon the heads of the brass shells...even in Vietnam. 6. Priority targets for US Military snipers used to be (during the war) officers, NCOs, radiomen, crew served wpns, any other target the sniper feels is important...and other snipers. Guess what the tall tale sign of a sniper used to be? A RIFLE SCOPE! 7. In a war zone, if a man had a scope; he was a sniper. That's what made the difference. Real combat snipers, who have to "rough it", often damage their scopes. Consequently, all US Military snipers (in Vietnam) had to be expert shots with their iron sights (non-scope). More than one US military sniper in Vietnam had to dispatch enemy personnel with iron sights because their scope was un-servicable. Therefore, a "scope" may be the trademark of the US military sniper, but he better be able to hit targets at 900 meters without one...or he's a sniper on paper only, and that'll be temporary!

How far could a sniper go?
The effective range of a sniper can vary greatly depending on the type of rifle and ammunition used, as well as the skill of the shooter. Modern sniper rifles, such as the Barrett .50 caliber, can accurately engage targets at distances exceeding 1,500 meters (about 1 mile). However, most military snipers typically operate within a range of 800 to 1,200 meters for optimal accuracy and effectiveness. Factors like environmental conditions and target movement also influence how far a sniper can effectively engage a target.

How war can be self consumed in sniper?
Who said this? Was this from the movie (film) "Sniper" starring Tom Berenger? "Snipers" are the current fad in America...sniper rifles, sniper websites, sniper characters on television ("NCIS" and possibly "Bones" are all ex-snipers...Hollywood types of course (meaning fiction), sniper books, sniper schools, and new powerful sniper rifles such as the BMG .50 caliber (BMG=Browning Machine Gun) and 20mm.South Africa's 20mm sniper rifle isn't totally new, the Japanese Army in WWII used one for anti-tank roles.A "military" sniper was (used to be, still is, what ever people want to call it these days) a "military sharpshooter" or "military marksman" or "expert rifleman", whose function was to kill enemy officers, radio operators, machinegunners (crew served weapons), any leader, and anyone else that was important enough to warrant "selective killing."Today's "FAD" snipers (mostly fake, over rated, and extremely over commercialized) are "trained" to use super highly sophisticated firearms (rifles) that are nearly far TOO HEAVY to carry in combat.Combat=Carrying the weapon up a mountain, thru jungles, up hills, and thru swamps.Not Computer Combat=Helicopter emplaced tri-pod/bi-pod sniper & rifle. Extremely low lack of walking, hill climbing, and sleeping days on end in the wilderness. Helicoptered in, helicoptered out. Computerized rifle, range finder, scopes, GPS, (no map rading skills), etc.There's a difference between shooting a precision instrument (today's so-called sniper rifles) and hunting down and killing an enemy soldier with a rifle.1. One simply requires the skills to use optics and computers (pushing a button/pulling a trigger).2. The other actually requires the brutal strength to survive in the bush and then kill.
Do the Marines have the best Snipers in the American military?
Obviously this question is completely personal opinion, and ill be as honest as i can. The Marines have great sniper. Whether there the best in the whole US Military, i couldnt tell you for certain. But i can say Scout Snipers are very good. Navy SEALs have also been highly recognized for there sniping abilities. But in my opinion, it is no doubt Delta Force. They are America's #1 Special Operations/Tier 1 unit. You wont hear about there shooting skills though because they are such a classified unit.
