Even the Coast Guard has sharper snipers than the Marines

Should snipers really be getting shot at?

PO2 (Join to see) well , for a Sniper in active combat the ultimate test of his or her skill as a Sniper is going head to head against the Sniper or Snipers that the enemy has deployed. That is because everything comes into play ,all the training ,the skill of placing the round , his intuition, and any other talent's he brings to the field , like his ability to ghost into the environment. After that comes he who makes the first mistake dies.... Snipers never take an enemy Sniper as a prisoner...

While true for land forces, there is no ghosting into the environment for maritime snipers. Their test rather is hitting a target moving, sometimes erratically, from a moving platform. A totally different skill set. However, it is worth noting that ability is a part of the International Sniper Competition.
