  1. Actually research shows that snipers deal with this much better then the ordinary soldier as there are less incidences of post traumatic stress disorder amongst snipers. This will be to do with assessing their mental balance.

  2. I would have said that killing from a distance is more detached for the ordinary soldier. You shoot at someone in the distance during combat and that person falls down. Did you do it or did someone else?

  3. Lincoln Frost. As I mention elsewhere there is evidence that snipers are less prone to PTSD. I will qualify that by saying the research was based on British snipers. Now whether it is something with the selection and or training carried out by the British armed forces, or possibly because of mental conditioning or something specific to the British I do not know.

  4. Menelutorex. Most sniper shots at 300 to 400 metres or less.

  5. Alexane Rose. Even snipers will see dead and wounded. And snipers will act in support of attacking troops to make the enemy keep their heads down while their own troops advance. That tends to be much closer. That tactic was first developed in WW 1 then attacks over no mans land could be as short as 50 or 60 yards. So the sniper could definitely see who they shot.
