Solitary. Mysterious. Deadly. These are just a few descriptions of a sniper that we have encountered during the making of this issue. More often than not, we regard snipers in a more melodramatic way--as hun­ters stalking its prey... or even as a lone assassin waiting for the kill. Why the fascination about snipers? Hollywood contributed much to how we perceive a sniper should be. We see them as nameless, shapeless operators in various theaters of war.

In this issue, we peer into the crosshairs of three seasoned airsoft snipers and a sniper instructor, each respected in their own areas of expertise, and unlearn some myths that we all deem as "common knowledge", as well as discover, whether or not, we have what it takes to be one. Know how to differentiate between cover, concealment and camouflage; properly apply camouflage face paint and zero your optics.
