uh, way off

Police snipers are taught to kill instantly. In fact they're specifically taught to aim for the parts of the brain that control motor functions to reduce the chance of a hostage or innocent bystander being hurt by the target. They are almost never told to attempt to shoot a weapon out of someone's hand; that's an incredibly stupid tactic in just about any situation. If a police sniper is ordered to shoot it's only because the target poses an imminent threat to someone's life. When that's the case non-lethal is not an option.

When a police sniper shoots a suspect in the head to keep him from drawing a knife across a 14 year old's throat, it's justified. If a man was in the process of raping a member of your family you would stand back and do nothing?
I don't think is justified. Call me crazy but I don't. Well I would not just stand back, but I sure as hell wouldn't kill the guy.

Surely the point is that if you put someones life at risk - you lose the right to have your life considered in the plan to save the victim.

Have you ever fired a gun? Do you have any idea how lucky a shot to "shoot a gun out of their hand" would be?

Police are trained to fire at the "central body mass" for the simple reason that it is relativly stable reguardless of what the target is doing; hence a higher chance of an incapacitating shot.

At the end of the day - If someone is holding a gun to a victims head, it is the perpetrator that should die rather than the victim. -assum9ing that a death is inevitable. It is my personal belief that once you place others in danger(denigying them base human rights) you lose your rights, and whatever action to protect the innocent is justified.

I realise you probably find the idea of someone being killed abhorrent, but, the harsh reality is that life on planet earth sometimes leads to a kill or be killed scenario. Whether you like it or not sometimes people have to die because they threaten the life of others.


Explain to me why an innocent party should be placed in further danger to save the life of someone attempting to take theirs.

Not true. If I kill a soldier, the enemy army is down 1 man. If I wound him, It takes at least 1 other to carry him...then the surgeons, money, resources etc.
It's more of a drain on your enemy to wound than kill....the only time this isn't true is when you can completely destroy your enemy...but that ain't gonna happen.

Nah you must never give up the fight towards American Bastardization, Mcdonalds and all other nonhuman evil activities.

But you can send some Aussie girls to this forum it might clear up some of the Bastardization.

Now I know I've got no military service under my belt at all, and thus my opinion might not carry the same weight as someone who does, but wouldn't you call a sniper "good" based on whether or not he achieved his objective, rather than saying "hes good because he kills more" or "hes good because he wounds more"?  Surely theres a place for both wounding and killing?

well, as people here have said, and as far as I can remember from my military training back in the 90's, it is generally a better tactic to shoot to wound your enemy, because it will take up more resourcs from the enemy. if you kill one enemy, he is dead, that's it. If you wound him, they will have to deploy a medic to take care of him, send in transport and also have a couple of guys cover while the medic does his work. They will also have to spend a considerable amount of money treating the guy in a hospital.

I guess you can measure the quality of a sniper simply by his hits/shots ratio. If you hit your target with the first shot at the desired spot, you are good. Of course, there are other factors to be taken into consideration, such as stealth, distance to target, and the ability to escape after the shot without being caught.

That doesn't apply to snipers.  The primary purpose of a sniper is to destroy morale.  A sniper who isn't consistently accurate, and only wounds, will elicit scorn from professional soldiers ("Damn, good thing he sucks!")

See my earlier posts on the subject.  But what do I know...I only have 12 years in the Army, and counting.

You're wrong. Snipers are taught to kill, not wound.

Not for a sniper. A wounding shot is completely detrimental to a sniper's goal.


Those of you that keep trying to claim that wounding is better than killing are either not understanding the role of a sniper or are just using their Battlefield 2 experience to form an opinion. Snipers do not go into battle with the troops and fire off a couple dozen rounds while the enemy is charging. They remain hidden, their primary role is to scout - hence the reason the Marine Corps, which produces the best overall sniper material the world has ever seen, calls them Scout/Snipers. In a secondary role they are tasked with eliminating crucial targets such as commanding officers, communications officers, and equipment if possible. The highest ranking officers are almost always the primary targets because a dead lieutenant disrupts the chain of command. A shot coming out of nowhere and killing your boss is going to freak you out regardless of how much of a badass you think you are. A shot that simply wounds him is only going to piss everyone off.


There is a reason that the motto of the American sniper is "ONE SHOT, ONE KILL, NO REMORSE, I DECIDE".
