I am a stone.....: Cool Website

My Passion

The title of my blog is a tribute to my passion. From the virtual battlefields of Call of Duty, to air soft skirmishes in the dead of night, to firing real sniper rifles at targets, I am fascinated with the arts of subterfuge, camouflage, incredible accuracy with a rifle, and of course the sniper's motto, "one shot, one kill." The title of my blog is a quote from the movie, based on a true story, Enemy at the Gates, the ultimate tale of two World War Two snipers, one Soviet, the other Fascist, engaged in an epic battle over the remains of war torn 1942 Stalingrad.

Cool Website

The other day I found this sweet website. Rebekah, it has lots of helpful info, and it is also where I learned more about the WA2000. The site is called sniper central and there is a link at the bottom of my blog under the movie sniper moments. It has information that is accurate and loads of cool pictures, there is even a store that sells sniper equipment (ghillie suits?).

It looks like my kind of site.

My Top 5 Favorite Movie Sniper Moments

1. Movie: Saving Private Ryan, The Shot: When the christian sniper puts a 30-06 round through the scope and in the eye of the German sniper
2. Movie: Enemy at the Gates, The Shot: When the German sniper shoots the Russian accompanying Vassili in mid-air as he leaps a gap to relocate.
3. Movie: We Were Soldiers, The Shot: The sniper is not seen, but in the opening scene the contents of a French Officer's skull are splattered on the face of the Private next to him.
4. Movie: Enemy at the Gates, The Shot: Vassili, armed with a stripper clip of 7.62x54r, defeats five Nazis by timing his shots to coincide with explosions in the background.
5. Movie: Jarhead, The Shot: This one isn't even in the movie. In special features there is an alternate scenes section in which the main character makes an incredibly long shot with an M40A3 that he was not allowed to take in the movie, ending in a great "pink mist".
