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.

This is My Rifle


The Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 was the Imperialist Russian army's and Soviet army's main rifle during the Russo-Japanese War and both World Wars the rifle was equipped with a scope and used as a sniper rifle during World War Two. The Mosin-Nagant is known for it's accuracy and reliability. I own a non sniper version made in 1938 and am working on making it a sniper rifle.

In order to finish this project I only need a modified bolt handle and a reproduction scope, like what is highlighted in the illustration. The total cost for the project is just under three hundred dollars including the rifle. When it is finished it will look exactly like the photo above.

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".
