> In 1967, Hathcock set the record for the longest sniper kill. He used an M2 .50 Cal Browning machine gun mounted with a telescopic sight at a range of 2,500 yd (2,286 m), killing a Vietcong guerrilla.

To get you started.

2 tours in Vietnam

Won every national and international long range shooting competition of note except the Olympics.

Rescued seven men from a burning LVT-5.

Every piece of advice ever put into doctrine is still valid and taught.

The founding rock star instructor of USMC sniper school

First to suggest synthetic "nylon" stocks for rifles.

Remained faithful in his duty through Multiple Sclerosis until medically retired at 100% pay instead of 55 days later at 20 years.

Began fishing for sharks for fun and profit.

Longest range confirmed kill for almost 40 years using a FUCKING MACHINEGUN! 1.42 miles.


Just some fucking hillbilly from Arkansas who loved hunting and shooting and just happened to be incredibly talented at it while very dedicated in performing his duty.
