10 Deadliest Snipers of World War II

Postby OakRidgeStars » Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:42:34

I was surprised to see that 9 of the 10 snipers on this list are Russians. Not to mention that the deadliest sniper of them all used iron sights on his rifle instead of a scope. Pretty badass, if you ask me.

And it was a Mosin-Nagant. Very ironic.
