Isn’t there a sniper book out there that details sniper duty in Vietnam and they used to shoot a guy with those 50 cals to demoralize the enemy?

I forget the jist of it, might have even been a History Channel episode or a post here, but the idea was when the guy next to you just vaporized from the waist up from a shot, or his head, you just said, “forget this ****.”

CNN had lotsa footage of the snipers on the rooftops in Iraq, and I did see those rifles at an airshow in Fallon, so I kinda knew what they were. Scary, as you know they found targets.

I read a book about Carlos Hathcock aka Whitefeather.. dude was 100% badass. got a confirmed kill at 3000 meters with a .50 BMG (in Vietnam). He got the nickname Whitefeather cause he would slink thru the bush with a big white feather in his boonie hat.  books about him are very exciting reading.

I read about the sniper dude and how they'd stop a convoy by killing the lead trucks driver , the truck would crash block the road, then it was a turkey shoot.
