What's so crazy about Simo Hayha is that he never used a scope unlike most of the other entries on this list did. He used strictly iron sights. He did this to avoid fogging up the scope lenses and to avoid the glint giving away his position.
The video didn’t mention just how major Simo Hayha’s wounding was; he took an explosive bullet to the face and survived after losing his upper jaw, part of his lower jaw and part of his left cheek. He would’ve likely continued fighting if he were allowed to after his injury
I know wow 16 hits on a target in under a minute from 150 meters and you know it was not a modern semi automatic either. No wonder he had 500 kills. He didn’t even have to think before shooting, it was just automatic for him
I can already tell who’s number 1 and it’s well deserved, it’s always nice to hear about him again. Although he probably doesn’t care much for compliments.
I met Simo Häyhä once. We talked.. not about the war, as he was like my both grandfathers, who did not talk about war. I naturally knew who he was, injury was a giveaway and all knew of him. He did say the same thing as my grandfathers... "pray that you never have to experience war"
My father was an 19 year old bombardier in WW2 B-17; he flew 24 missions from D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge, shot down on 24 Dec. 1944. He would never talk about the war until he was 90; he then described a few of his experiences. I asked him his most important lessons he learned from his experiences: “Man is amazingly capable of adapting to any situation.” “It always amazed me how inhumane and savage men can be!” He too felt war was horrible and should be avoided.
I believe that soldiers who refuse to speak about their experience of war, are either selfish, cowardly, or have a twisted moral compass. No one is asking soldiers to boast, but they have a duty to speak as truthful witnesses to what they have experienced.
@@samy7013 im sorry but you have clearly never had a single traumatic experience in your entire life or you would know the pain of reliving those memories and the fact that you feel entitled to their experience while calling those that refuse to share the most painful memories of their life selfish cowardly or twisted clearly shows a distinct lack of empathy
Two common threads: 1. Growing up in isolated rural areas and hunting is common to most of these snipers. 2. The fight within the fight. Minorities had to fight to join the fight.
I never once went hunting before becoming one. Actually I was never interested in being one. I just wanted to jump out of planes lol. I was just in the right place at the right time when I met General Schwarzkopf and he basically talked this 19yr old into trying it out. Only 2 things I had to compare to sniping was playing space invaders and POI on the mother ship that came across the top of the screen ever so often. My second training, although I didn't give the military any thought at the time was playing CO2 war in the woods. I was in Jr, and I hung out with high schoolers, particularly a family with all boys (6 brothers) 2 of the brothers were military, Rick and John. Rick was a Ranger with mad skills and when he'd come home (which wasn't often), we all went to the woods and shot at each with CO2 guns. Rick taught me ALOT especially about being deadly, but not seen or heard. So that's my little story of my experience prior to ghilling up.
Mr. Simo Häyhä was one of an example to show that surrender is not an option and my generation is always grateful of that what he and fellow Finns did to protect the country of Finland. And STILLLL from Nordic; 105 years independent.
What about Carlos Hathcock. So, he hadn't killed as many of the people as the other members you have mentioned. But, what about bravery, integrity, the willingness to evade and live.. Surrounded by enemy troops with no way out. But, his willingness to live. He did the impossible. He deserved a mention. That's all I am saying.
@@gladmedyedev4937 pretty sure he used an airplane and bombs made by other engineers. Why would a nuke suddenly not count? Not everyone can fly the Enola Gay so there's your skill. Finally, i can't believe i have to explain this, the premise was most lethal pilots. Why do you think your bomber counts and not another? What in the premise of the question disqualifies one over the other?
As a wise band once sung about Francis Peghamagabow, "In the battle, the gas had them pinned, then this soldier invoked the spirits of the wind." Real legend, all respect to him and the snipers on this list. May he rest in peace.
@@bopbo8157 It can be done... It's how Marine recruits are taught to do. When I went through boot camp in 82 at MCRD San Diego we were trained to use open sights on targets at 250 meters out. Matter of wind speed and direction, proper use of the sights for the distance your firing at, stock weld, breath control and trigger squeeze..The discharge of the round should be a surprise.
"There is no hunting like the hunting of man; and for those who have hunted armed men long enough, and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter." - Ernest Hemingway
I am shocked that he was not mentioned. It wasn't just the number of kills, but also his legendary exploits. The hunt between him and the Cobra was extraordinary. Another feat was when he inched his way into a heavily guarded area and killed a North Vietnamese general.
I'm actually surprised Carlos Hathcock didnt make the list but if I recall correctly he had 93 confirmed kills. I dont think anyone on this list scored under a hundred
He was more of a quality over quantity type, simo fought against the russian military who wore dark green uniforms in the snow and didn't know what logistics was, carlos hathcock went against the top snipers of the vc, one of the most deadly guerilla armies in history.
The list is incomplete, they miss Carlos Hathcock, I know that he has no the number of some of the list, but the way that he killed that enemy general after getting close without being detected and escaped is something that I had not seen before.
Fact about Simo I haven't seen anyone mention: He would put snow in his mouth in order to make his breath cold. This way nobody could see the cloud of condensation from his exhale
Your information was incomplete, research about Abdul Rasul Zarin, he was an Iranian in the war with Iraq. In his memoirs, he recorded more than 3000 successful shots, of which only 740 shots were aimed at Iraqi commanders and high-ranking officials. He should have been the first person on the list, in my opinion.
What's so crazy about Simo Hayha is that he never used a scope unlike most of the other entries on this list did. He used strictly iron sights. He did this to avoid fogging up the scope lenses and to avoid the glint giving away his position.
And also he put snow in his mouth to make his breath colder so it wont get foggy and show his place
@@laurinieminen8438 won't that only make more fog coming out from his mouth? just asking
@@matfiz1782 i think it is to even up the temps before his breath goes out so it'll still get foggy inside his mouth but not when air is going out.

Yeah he shot through a snipers scope with out scratching it
That's my thoughts exactly.
They didn’t mention him? I haven’t finished watching but this is not a real full list without him on here.
I was wondering the same exact thing
He has his own tribute video by this publisher. They didn't do an "honorable mentions" addition and kept it simple.
