The difference between Mr Simo, and Gunnery SGT Hathcock, is that
Mr Simo is a hunter-turned-guerilla fighter, while Hathcock is a
trained USMC sniper.
Additionally, hathcock's 93 kills are confirmed kills.
What's the different between confirmed and unconfirmed kills?
It's simple.
Confirmed kills are witnessed kills, with someone to vouch for
them.
Unconfirmed kills are just that, unconfirmed.
To example, we know that Annabel Chong once held the dubious record
of having copulated with the most guys continously, right? How do
we know? Because it was witnessed. Invigilated.
Why not try submitting a record to the Guinness World Records? Say
for example you managed to type a 160character sms in 60secs? Will
they believe it? Nope.
Also, we must take into consideration the quality of the enemy. Mr
Simo achieved his kill total against Soviet troops. Everybody knows
that Soviets dont respond well to unexpected things. Everybody also
knows that WWII era Soviet attacks were humongous. Nobody's going
to miss a company or two.
SGT Hathcock, on the other hand, achieved his 93 kills against a
formidable, tenacious, determined enemy. Namely the Viet Cong and
NVA.
Hathcock does not have the highest documented kill total. No.
Matthias Hetzenauer, the Wehrmatcht's top sniper, with 345
confirmed kills, has 3 times his.
Consider for the moment, the civilian casualties that would result
if a trained, experienced sniper decided to start shooting up
civilians? 500 would be a pittance. Try a few times that.
