"....consider that Marine Scout/Snipers are required to do
the same thing at almost twice the distance (hitting a target at over a
quarter mile away), with only one shot and no chance to make adjustments.
All this on a mission that may last for days, in any weather, against an
enemy trying to kill you like a pesky varmint. It is a bizarre way to make a
living, and the men who do it are strange birds. But to an enemy, the M40A1
in the hands of a skilled Marine Scout/Sniper is a hellish weapon, more
feared than even a bomber loaded with napalm! It is scary to know that you
might be hunted by another man; and this makes it tough to do your job. The
overwhelming psychological impact of the sniper helps to explain why the
Corps invests so much in maintaining this capability." Tom Clancy,
