What makes a Sniper?

Disclaimer: I received the book – Snipers at War by John Walter - as a complimentary copy from Naval Institute Press. Note that I used plenty of Naval Institute Press books in previous videos that I bought myself.

So what makes a sniper? This video explains certain characteristics, skills, attributes, emotional stability and backgrounds that are required and/or recommended for sniper. Based on the US Army Field Manual and the book Snipers at War.
