The nickname for the Simo Haya is "White Dead" because it always uses the Finnish army in white clothes as camouflage for field battles in snowy areas.

5. Vasily Zaytsev
Ever watch a movie, starring Jude Law, entitled 'Enemy At The Gates'? The film picked up the story of a Soviet troop Top Sniper named Vasily Zaytsev. Vasily considered the most dangerous sniper kills not because of the number of hits (149 kills, 400 who can not yet confirmed), but because the killer with a sniper duel top of Germany, namely Heinz Thorvald. Sniper duel between these often occur in Stalingrad, where the sniper is often must move from the rubble of the ruins of another and sometimes have to dig for an unknown enemy, who is known as rat war (War of the Rats).
The story of the triumph of the propaganda Vasily Russia would force the Germans to send his best sniper, Heinz Thorvald, to finish off Vasily.

7. Chuck Mawhinney
In the Vietnam war, there are two names that are very famous American sniper, Carlos Hathcock and Chuck Mawhinney. Chuck's name may not be as famous as Carlos Hathcock is capable of killing a North Vietnamese general, but when viewed from the amount collected hit kill, Hathcock must take my hat off to Mawhinney to record 103 kills, while Hathcock only recorded 93 kills. However, the Mawhinney did not want to expose it too much and prefers to live quietly and forget all the memories of Vietnam.
8. Carlos Hathcock
Greatness and natural talent was amazing. Usually when a sniper is always accompanied by one person who served as an assistant spotter and the measuring range for the sniper. But Hathcock able to work alone when given the task to kill a general of the North Vietnamese enemy alone in the nest!
In addition, Hathcock pioneered the use of 0.5-inch caliber rifle as a sniper weapon remotely. Namely by modifying the .50-caliber M2 Browning Machine Gun as a sniper weapon by placing a telescope on it, and record-breaking shot and killed a Vietcong as far as 2500 yards ato approximately 2275 meters! From this came the idea to bear heavy guns (heavy sniper rifle) for a great distance or to shoot heavy objects such as combat vehicle (combat vehicles).
So to say the name Hathcock is a legend among the sniper world.

Decades away Hathcock shot record is not deterred, the old record was finally broken by a sniper from Canada, Rob Furlong, when he and his colleagues in the field of malignant nicknamed operation Anaconda in Afghanistan in 2000.
