From Fight Science: Sniper Keeps His Cool

As far as military stuff goes, this is the kinda stuff I'm interested in.  As shown here, a sniper is trained to shoot between heartbeats to maximize the precision of his shot.  That's crazy cool!  His statement is pretty hardcore too.

"One quiet professional at the right place, at the right time, can end wars before they start.  One shot, one kill."  [Marine scout sniper]

  1. ewwww "One Shot One Kill" is so cliche.

    Though yes, calming your heartbeat between shots allows you to line your target up with your crosshairs more precisely. Some snipers even use diazepam or "beta-blockers" to actually slow their heartbeat!
