Shooter.

Deze week ben ik naar Shooter geweest, met Mark Wahlberg en Kate Mara.

Kate Mara.

Ik vond het een mooie film. In ieder geval veel action.
Hier een foto van echte scherpschutters in action. (Locatie Afghanistan).

Sniper in action.

"Sniper" vs. "Marksman"
A marksman should not be confused with a sniper. Marksmen rarely operate individually. Snipers most often are deployed for specific objectives in teams consisting of snipers and observers. The marksman, however, operates as a regular member within a unit where his skills are called upon whenever the need for accurate firearms skills arise in the normal course of operations for the unit. While snipers are intensively trained to master field craft and camouflage, these skills are not required for marksmen. There are differences in role and training that affect doctrines and equipment. Snipers rely almost exclusively on more accurate but slower-firing bolt-action rifles while a marksman can effectively use a faster-firing, but less accurate semi-automatic rifle. A sniper's intensive training, forward placement and surveillance duties make the role more strategic than a squad-level marksman. Thus, marksmen are often attached at the squad level while snipers are often attached at higher levels such as battalion (cf.: designated marksman).
