I knew that sniper school graduate when I was in the NJNG over 30 years ago, so my info may be a little out of date.
One thing we should remember is that when military snipers are deployed-the Other Guy has his out there as well. Plus his artillery, (maybe) air support and even some of his rank and file may be pretty good shots. Not to mention he won't just stand there and take it. In all of the accounts I have read from Vietnam it seems the sniper teams got off at best 4-5 good shots, then they had to move-fast!
