i knew about the birds been snipes but the sniper is not just a person used to slot people at long ranges like officers but most of there work is reconnisence to watch people and gather information for commanders in the base. sniper battles are rare but have happened as in the famous battle at stalingrad between the famous vastieli seightseth im not sure how its spelt maybe u can help me. against the major of the german sniper school. most snipers when taking shots are used in close support of main attacking as they provide good cover. the ghille suit used by snipers also came about through scottish gamekeepers in the early 20th century and became battlefield snipers as they could utilise the ghille suit to become almost invisible.

i dont believe that i was. there are lots of countries that have zulu war groups. they’re are four major ones in england. but i have seen a few places doing zulu war action figures. i have seen the cast models in the shops.
but i tell you its a good experience. just pocket watches are not easy to maintain and expensive.
