Never mess with someone who can drop you with his gun from miles
away. Snipers somehow has this aura of mystique and sexiness
associated with the motto of "one shot, one kill", as exhibited in
movies like Enemy at the Gates, or memorable war characters such as
in Saving Private Ryan. In Shooter, this gets demystified for a
while, hitting home that not only should one be gifted with the
pulling of the trigger from incredible distance, a sniper is also a
master mathematician, having to compute the trajectory of the round
with factors of humidity, wind direction, angle etc just to hit the
target.
