Totally agree with #1 watched that film when I was quite young, and it's definitely opened my eyes about there being many more positions in warfare than just footsoldiers, pilots, or guys that drive tanks
Clark Kent I know that the M82 is a Semi-Auto, but even a semi-auto sniper riffle isn't ment to be shot at this high rate... And she use a 50.cal for shooting at targets which are 200-300 meters away. You can use 7,62 mm ammo, which is the most commun calliber for sniper riffle, it's much cheaper and at 300m, the accuracy is the same.... Most sniper riffles shoot this, and if you want a semi-auto, pick a dragounov, M39 or M14, it will do the trick, and you won't pay 20$ per shot. And if she want to fire at a high rate, pick an AR with a scope, which will still do less recoil than the barret (the muzzle brake doesn't stop all recoil). But lets talk about the sniper, look at the moment when she starts fireing like mad, at every shot she has both eyes open, or both shut.... seriously, i know this is a movie, but... really? Hmmm, but i can understand you may not agree with me, we don't all have the same opinion. I go to the fireing range with my dad since i'm 4 year old, so i kinda have my opinion about which gun to use for which range/situation
Enymy at the gates was based on a real sniper master his sniper is still in a musium he is world war hero and its the best sniper movie and saving private ryan not a sniper movie its a great a ww2 movie
Matt Axelson and Marcus Luttrel from Lone survivor. Being able to engage strong and fierce enemy opposition with that tenacity and efficiency while taking effective enemy fire and rounds to the body (including the head) like that is something that deserves to be put on a top ten. Especially considering the fact that the firefight was (by reports) quite accurate to what really happened.
Bob Lee Swagger on number 10? That makes no sense at all, since the so called sniper from Heat isn't a real sniper and the girl from Smokin Aces can't really focus and is simply spamming bullets in the end. Because of his skill, survival abilities and his extrem long range shots he should have been listed in the top three. My top three would be: 3.The sniper from Saving Private Ryan 2.Bob Lee Swagger 1.Vassili Zaitsev
Time to put in American Sniper.. the most Lethal Sniper in U.S. history! Chris Kyle who is played by Bradley Cooper. Chris got over 160 kills in 4 tours as a sniper. Best sniper ever!
Vasily Zaytsev is the only person on this list that was an actual person. He accumulated over 400 confirmed kills in WW2 in the Russian military and 225 of them were in the Battle of Stalingrad alone with more than ten of those kills being enemy snipers.
Bjørn Büchert-Jakobsen dude i wasnt being a sarcastic douche. I was just adding additional information to a person on this list and stating that there is nobody else i can add information on.
Dude, in my opinion, the real life Vasily Zaytsev is equal with Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock in sniper skills. That being said, I reckon The Jackal should have been higher on the list. Vasily Zaytsev definitely deserved to be at the top of the list, though.
He's just the most popular sniper , but he's not the best . Hurray Soviet propaganda . Finnish sniper Simö Häyhä had over 500 confirmed kills with his sniper and an additional 200 kills with his submachine gun . Also he made all those kills within a single year unlike Zaystev , because Häyhä was seriously injured in 1940 when a bullet went through his jaw .
@@RogerioSantos-jf1th Yeah Because they are Assholes And Morons because they disrespecting American Soldiers who fought for are country and freedom Because that's why he wasn't on The List
So Bob Lee Swagger is number 10 in a film called Shooter all about a sniper who can hit a target at over 2000 yards but a random girl that was barely in smoking aces is 8th :\
Got to agree with number 1. Even AFTER American Sniper was released. Some of Zaitsev's best kills didn't even have a scope in the film. Total badass. The scene where they get off the boats from the river Volga, after being promised equipment, and they get a rifle between two soldiers is one of the best scenes in war movie history.
Bobby Lee Swagger should have been in the top 5. The number one pick was right on; I think Ed Harris deserves a spot too because of Enemy at the Gates. He was a great nemesis

George Havenhand It would be interesting, mostly because of the hate Finnish had to Russians. They could show a hateful avenger who wants to kill soviet as his primal mission. Also, a spiritual and moral fight after being shot in the face , trying to understand what war causes, and how he reacted after the peace with the Soviet Union would be pretty interesting.
sure, he might _very well_ have been the "most talented" or "deadliest" shooter on the list, but unfortunately - and this is a BIG problem - *_Shooter,_* the movie, sucked _BALLS._ i think that should at the VERY LEAST come into SOME consideration when making calls like that, don't you?
The lone female child sniper in FMJ should have had top place on this list. Not only was she skilled with that Dragunov, but she was totally terrifying up until end. No other movie sniper was able to scare the audience as well as her. I had Goosebumps for that whole scene. Not bad for a 13 year old.
FORGOT about Jeremy Renner from "28 Weeks Later". His skill to check other snipers ( using small piece of mirror to find out their position, his ability to orientate ) is just great. Would place near to Jarhead. on 1st and 2nd place. Great acting.
100% agreed He's movie name was Sgt. Doyle. He was also skilled not only with his sniper rifle, but also with his backup M4A1. I liked the scene when he shoot up like 8 zombies during the escape with single shots.
My favorite sniper is Jackson from Saving Private Ryan, he was a lefty shooter using a right handed bolt sniper and that didn't even stop him from being a badass and killing quite a few of those Germans.
MillerTurk not sure to be honest not watched band of brothers for sometime but he was a damn good shot with the grand and sniping with a grand like he did is really hard to do
PTE Daniel Jackson, saving private Ryan. Best shot, getting the jerry snipper in the tower. The greatest snipper in a movie sequence, Vassili Zaitsev and his 5 Germans and the major Kernitz
The .50 that Watters was supposed to be firing would not have worked the way it did in the movie. Due to the rate of fire, well it would be up in the air and her shoulder would be mush.
There is the bolt-action M95 and the semi-auto M82. I have seen the latter in a documentary being fired quite fast, but not exactly that fast. The rifle is a delayed blowback similar to the M2 Browning with some shock-absorber. Together with its 14kg it makes it much easer than lets say the heavy Mauser (anti-tank) of the WWI, where the gunners had to be replaced after ten shots...
siralanlordsugar You just did. P.S. Will never make a movie of his exploits. Best sniper ever was the White Death. Finnish sniper during the Russo-Finnish war. Wait for it....... Legendary. He wasn't American though so he won't get the acclaim he deserves. Go argument. And Zaitzev, spelling blunder from me aside here, wasn't even the best Russian sniper. They had a school of them by the end of the war and by hell they were good
Miss out : Chow Yun Fatt of The Killer, Dolph Lundgren of Silent Trigger, Liam Hemsworth (The Expendables 2), Patrice (Skyfall), Schoolboy (Rambo), Ben Affleck of The Accountant
I never saw Heat (1995) but I didn't see a sniper rifle in this clips. When I looked on the Internet, he his apparently using a Heckler & Koch HK41, a semi-auto rifle. Sure you can mount a scope on this (I didn't really see a scope in the clips) but I would argue that you can't truly call this a sniper rifle or his skills can't be compared to others long range snipers in the other movies.
SGT - Stuttgart and CPL - Gordon, from Black Hawk Down, they inserted into the middle of a hostile city to protect a wounded pilot. They battled for an hour against hundreds if not thousands of armed militia. It was like Thermopylae, if the Greeks had only had two men.
narto9851 No, real life. Black Hawk Down is about a real scenario. Sgt. First Class Randy Shughart died in the line of duty. In the 2001 film Black Hawk Down, Shughart was portrayed by actor Johnny Strong Master Sergeant Gary Gordon also died during the Battle of Mogadishu and was the squad leader of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta or, Delta Force. Which Shughart was a part of. So, guess you're the dumbass here.
"Jarhead" dove more into the psychological effects of combat sans actual combat. I was going to be disappointed if one of the two "Enemy at The Gates" snipers were not in the top 3. Having been in the Marine Corps, Tom Berenger's sniper portrayal was my favorite.
okay, I've seen enemy at the gates and read the story of vasili zeitzef multiple times. however i just bought call of duty world at war and noticed that the beginning of the level Vendetta is almost identical to the scene in enemy at the gates where Vasili and Danilov first meet
If there is a movie about Simo Häyhä he should be number one, he is a 5'3 killing machine . Also known as "The white death", for 100 days he killed 5 people a day. He was finally shot in the face then went into a coma for a couple weeks woke up and lived till 2002. Oh also he didn't use a scope on his rifle, he didn't like to bring his head up to use a scope so he just used iron sights. What a fucking bad ass.
Yeah yeah we know who he is. No there isnt movie about him. Also u forgot 1 thing. The forrest that he lived in was bombed because they feared him.... he didnt have a scratch. He also always put snow in his mouth when he was in a fight so people wouldnt see his breath
nice list but what about Simo Häyhä? In 1939-1940 Simo Häyhä was a Finnish sniper with 505 confirmed kills which he acquired with a carbine version of a Mosin-Garant over open sights! He was also known to use a submachine gun and his unconfirmed kills are estimated to be 800 or more. As if this is good enough, he did it all in the dead of a Russian winter in 100 days!
Val Kilmer wasn't a sniper in Heat. Even calling him a marksman would be a bit of a stretch. That HK91 is just a battle rifle and that Colt is clearly just a carbine.
In fact, the best sniper since Winter War is still Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä with over 500 confirmed kills. And he did those kills much under 3 months. His best kill was headshot to about 500 meters. That kill was shot with iron sights. Häyhä never used scope for couple of reasons. There's the best sniper we have ever had. And I'm proud of having same blood he had.
I know one of the reasons was that the scope could reveal him by reflecting the sun, more than that I do not know. It was because of the environment, vast plains of snow so the scope would be revealing.
Yeah, "Enemy at the Gates" takes the cake in this list. It's not just a "best sniper" flick, it's the best flick of the bunch. The film is very well done and demonstrates how the publicity of a single gunman, (Jude Law as Vasili Zaytsev) can rouse the spirit of a disheartened people. The film did not get terrific ratings (especially in Russia and Germany), so we have to accept that some portion was probably heavily fictionalized. But even so, the fiction brought to the film made it more engrossing. There was no subtext at the beginning of the film to say that the film was a documentary. However, Vasili was real and still considered a hero among the Russian people.
+Thor Odinson Still one of my favorite movies of all time. It's what drove me to buy a very well preserved PU M91/30. not those $100 turds, but a clean bore, non re-arsenal rifle. I love it.
+Thor Odinson I agree, most people don't realize the significance of the Battle of Stalingrad and the role Snipers played in it. Vasili Zaytsev was real, and except for the dual with the German Major (fiction, possible propaganda), was credited with over 625 kills. Because Stalingrad had many concrete buildings with rebar- reinforced concrete, all the Luftwaffe succeeded in doing with bombing Stalingrad was to create a perfect Snipers Killing Ground...Hitler's insistence with leveling Stalingrad first, then block the Vogal and capture the Caspian Oilfields second, doomed the Germans in the East...
"Bob Lee Swagger" has to be the most ridiculous character name ever. They might as well have just named him "Jack Hollowpoint 'Merica" or "Long Dick McBadass".
The Sniper from Phone Booth. He's notable to me for being a guy who decided to take the matter of somebody's own inefficacy with commitment into his hands, and showed that guy his own mistakes. By causing a havoc and rubbing it in his face.
Quigley makes all these others look like amateurs, Buffalo hunters made amazing shots with their Sharps rifles and iron sights. Look up Billy Dixon, he dropped an Indian at 1500 yards with a Sharps .50-90. He didn't need a fancy .50 Barret or .338 Lapua, straight up skill.
now it has been quite a while since ive seen quigley down under but doesnt he make it apparently clear he actually preferes a pistol over a rifle? or at least doesnt like using rifles
Devin Healy No, you have it backwards. He prefers the rifle over the pistol. Spoiler: in the final scene with the main baddy he had a quick draw duel, and after he won he said something like "just because I don't like using pistols doesn't mean that I don't know how to shoot them."
Chris Shiherlis doesn't count as a sniper in my book, he only "snipes" once, and doesn't even use a scope. More covering his friends with an assault rifle while they do a deal and then shooting up the other guys when it goes wrong than sniping. Even if you consider that sniping, just because he uses a rifle at a distance one time does not make him a sniper by any means. He's a cool character, but you shouldn't randomly wedge him into a list he doesn't belong in.
This actually happened. It was more of a historical thing. Also, just about every Call of Duty that takes place in WW2 has the Russian sniper mission in Stalingrad. The reason being, is that snipers were very instrumental to the German defeat. One sniper can hold off an entire Company. Well placed snipers can hold off an offensive. Vasily Zaitsev rose to the rank of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Okay so I have a couple of problems with this list. 1) Is the girl from Smoking Aces being on the list. At 2:36 you can see her closing her eyes when firing the rifle. 2) Shooter being so low and Top Bishop only being an honorable mention. 3) Jarhead is at 4? This list should not be about the "artsy" part of the list and the movie wasn't even that good. Spy Games sniper was better and so was the movie.
AuraSavior Gaming hayha was just killing any soviet soldier that laid in his line of fire, while zaitsev was a true tactician, he didnt simply kill the irrelevant german infantries, but he sniped enemy snipers, artillery spotters, recon, etc. zaitsev is a true legend
Nope, Vassili still takes the cake. Plus, the best damn sniper of them all, The White Death Simo Häyhä Not to rain on the parade of Chris Kyle, but Carlos Hathcock had a more interesting story for a movie adaptation. (He shot a Vietcong sniper with 50. Cal Ma Deuce, no scope, from over 2000 yards, with just one shot. That used to be the longest sniper kill record holder).
If Pythagoras didnt lie to us, 255 is more than 242, so Kyle takes the cake (again, sorry Jude). Simo is the best, no doubt, however, the video is about snipers in movies, so until theres a movie about him... But I agree Hathcock's story wouldve made a way better movie than Kyle's, no doubt.
Brian Fantana I hope that too. When I did read about Simo, I thought: "Vassili who??" Damn, that finnish dude was a badass. Maybe his nationality is what keeps Hollywood movie makers away from that story. Its all about money, and maybe they wont gain much with a movie about Häyhä's achievements. What I dont understand is why they havent made a movie about Carlos Hathcock. Its crazy. Oh well, I guess they prefer to keep making cheap "found footage" 50k dollar movies and gaining 400million.
In my opinion, Swagger is clearly place one. He takes out whole army squads, shoots down a freakin´ helicopter while being shot at with grenade launchers, a minigun and the helicopter itself, and he shoots a target over 1,6 kilometers.
Naw he couldn't have watched it. I mean looking at the scene where he timed his shots with the explosions and killed all them guys, with no scope, was legendary.
holy crap HEAT is my favorite movie but it has nothing to do with sniping. chris is not even sniping in this movie. he only has an assault rifle with a vision extension. thats not a sniper what the fek
Bob Lee Swagger only at 10? Are you kidding me? He should be top 3. That girl from Smokin Aces above him LOL? Only reason she is even on the list is because she is using a M82.
Swagger was my favorite because I've read a lot of the books and some of them were very good. Whalberg was all right but they should've made the movie years ago with Robert Patrick. I think he would've been a better fit for the role if he could do the Arkansaw accent.
Jackson is underrated he was a left handed shooter using a right handed rifle and still got the shots off fast and clean
Daniel Jackson is the best sniper on this list,no cap,shame he had to die in the movie…
Out of all that were mentioned, Private Jackson, and Vasilli Zaitsev were my all-time favourites.
The three Navy Seals in "Captain Phillips" to coordinate the 3 shots on a rolling ship against 3 targets on a rolling boat was simply amazing.
Yesssss
Totally agree with #1
watched that film when I was quite young, and it's definitely opened my eyes about there being many more positions in warfare than just footsoldiers, pilots, or guys that drive tanks
Number 8? The girl is shootting with her gun around 3 rounds a second.... and you call that a sniper?
Ok then, define a sniper for me.
Concentrated , accurate, patient and calm... giving someone a sniper riffle doesn 't make you a sniper.... i would call her a gunner
Clark Kent I know that the M82 is a Semi-Auto, but even a semi-auto sniper riffle isn't ment to be shot at this high rate...
And she use a 50.cal for shooting at targets which are 200-300 meters away. You can use 7,62 mm ammo, which is the most commun calliber for sniper riffle, it's much cheaper and at 300m, the accuracy is the same....
Most sniper riffles shoot this, and if you want a semi-auto, pick a dragounov, M39 or M14, it will do the trick, and you won't pay 20$ per shot.
And if she want to fire at a high rate, pick an AR with a scope, which will still do less recoil than the barret (the muzzle brake doesn't stop all recoil).
But lets talk about the sniper, look at the moment when she starts fireing like mad, at every shot she has both eyes open, or both shut.... seriously, i know this is a movie, but... really?
Hmmm, but i can understand you may not agree with me, we don't all have the same opinion. I go to the fireing range with my dad since i'm 4 year old, so i kinda have my opinion about which gun to use for which range/situation
tolerantly
Pat Junior She was just giving some covering fire, so fuckers could not move without shiiting their pants
Enemy at the Gates was a supreme sniper showdown. With the backdrop of WWII it was a thriller from beginning to end. Love that movie.
"Enemy at the gates " is the best snipers movie.
I don't think so...
@@akon5017 nah its the fukin best
@@slaire7799 ever heard of Saving Private Ryan
No American sniper it's based on a real sniper name of Chris Kyle. nicknamed devil of rahmati
Enymy at the gates was based on a real sniper master his sniper is still in a musium he is world war hero and its the best sniper movie and saving private ryan not a sniper movie its a great a ww2 movie
I love Pvt Daniel Jackson
me too
me too
Yesssss
Tbm
The greatest and only ogs watched saving private ryan
Matt Axelson and Marcus Luttrel from Lone survivor.

Because of his skill, survival abilities and his extrem long range shots he should have been listed in the top three.
My top three would be:
3.The sniper from Saving Private Ryan
2.Bob Lee Swagger
1.Vassili Zaitsev
Saveing private Ryan, pvt Jackson was also left handed I noticed
Yet he looses his skill when he quits the military and joins stargate ;) lol
Ayyyyy I am left handed
The bolt action was set up for a right handed person and he adapted. Coolest part of Saving Private R ..
Much better than the usual WatchMojo video! Less talk, more action
Saving private Ryan is probably my favourite film. Jackson is literally the most badass sniper in any movie!
I would agree, but Zaitsev was even better. Plus he was a real sniper in WWII, so that just makes him even more awesome.
Time to put in American Sniper.. the most Lethal Sniper in U.S. history! Chris Kyle who is played by Bradley Cooper. Chris got over 160 kills in 4 tours as a sniper. Best sniper ever!
Quite far off from best sniper ever. But he was pretty good.
Yea. Ur off. A russian sniper in ww2 had 300 kills
U.S history, not Russia
That russian sniper probably had more than 4 tours, Chris Kyler had 4 and 160 kills, thats impressive
A Finnish sniper had 505 kills in a single war.
Vasily Zaytsev is the only person on this list that was an actual person. He accumulated over 400 confirmed kills in WW2 in the Russian military and 225 of them were in the Battle of Stalingrad alone with more than ten of those kills being enemy snipers.
Bjørn Büchert-Jakobsen dude i wasnt being a sarcastic douche. I was just adding additional information to a person on this list and stating that there is nobody else i can add information on.
Dude, in my opinion, the real life Vasily Zaytsev is equal with Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock in sniper skills. That being said, I reckon The Jackal should have been higher on the list. Vasily Zaytsev definitely deserved to be at the top of the list, though.
He's just the most popular sniper , but he's not the best . Hurray Soviet propaganda .

Also he made all those kills within a single year unlike Zaystev , because Häyhä was seriously injured in 1940 when a bullet went through his jaw .
Centauri Simo Häyha is the best of them tough yes.
Anthony Swofford is a real person.
You missed American Sniper. And yes, Bob Lee Swagger deserves to be in Top 5.
This video was made before American Sniper was released
Chris kyle was a real person, not a character, maybe world not be fair to put him on the list.
@@RogerioSantos-jf1th Yeah Because they are Assholes And Morons because they disrespecting American Soldiers who fought for are country and freedom Because that's why he wasn't on The List
@@xxxentbrandonredhoodrobins7606 No, dumbass, it's because the movie was released after this video was made.
Brandon Freakin Robinson this is a list about fictional characters. No one is disrespecting Chris Kyle!
25 shots from a M82.... without reloading gotta love that hollywoodness
So Bob Lee Swagger is number 10 in a film called Shooter all about a sniper who can hit a target at over 2000 yards but a random girl that was barely in smoking aces is 8th :\
Swagger should be much higher
Definitely
Agreed...Shooter is at least in the top 5. As for me, its #2.
same thought
I guess they don't want to make it look like a men's world
omg over 75% of these comments are "WHERE'S CHRIS KYLE FROM AMERICAN SNIPER???"
Yes but look at the date,American Sniper do not exist when she made the video
Gamer du Québec thats my point
+notquitemytempo the title also said movie snipers he was a real sniper
number 1 was also a real sniper in ww2
he isnt in this cause the movie was made after this video
Fun Fact: The fountain scene from Enemy at the gates was adapted for a level in Call of Duty World at War.
called vendetta, its the mission where you first meet reznov.
Got to agree with number 1. Even AFTER American Sniper was released. Some of Zaitsev's best kills didn't even have a scope in the film. Total badass.
The scene where they get off the boats from the river Volga, after being promised equipment, and they get a rifle between two soldiers is one of the best scenes in war movie history.
Bobby Lee Swagger should have been in the top 5. The number one pick was right on; I think Ed Harris deserves a spot too because of Enemy at the Gates. He was a great nemesis

yes that's actually exactly why they did it. was because of that scene.
I watched the treyarch developers talk about it.
+Jude™ when i played that game i knew instantly where they got the influence and i had an immediate rush of joy
It also inspired the first soviet mission in the first call of duty.
Not world at war, call of duty finest hour
Shooter # 10 then smockin aces #8? WTF
We need a Simo Häyhä movie.
I get the feeling it'd be really, really boring. Three hours of a little fellow in the snow, plinking Russians in spectacular numbers.
Maybe a dramatisation like Enemy at the Gates? but one that is accurate and realistic like Saving Private Ryan.
George Havenhand It would be interesting, mostly because of the hate Finnish had to Russians. They could show a hateful avenger who wants to kill soviet as his primal mission. Also, a spiritual and moral fight after being shot in the face , trying to understand what war causes, and how he reacted after the peace with the Soviet Union would be pretty interesting.
Very true, and the fact that little Finland was able to hold of the might of the USSR is incredible and that aspect should be shown in a film.
George Havenhand well said sir!
I wholeheartedly agree with number 1. Enemy at the gates is probably one of the best movies i've watched.
Bob Lee Swagger should've had a better spot than 10.
Agreed. Maybe number 4 or 5?
Shooting a soda can at a mile because he could and then wiping the floor with a .22 bolt action deserves better than 10.
sure, he might _very well_ have been the "most talented" or "deadliest" shooter on the list, but unfortunately - and this is a BIG problem - *_Shooter,_* the movie, sucked _BALLS._ i think that should at the VERY LEAST come into SOME consideration when making calls like that, don't you?
I actually really like the movie. I knew going into it i wasn't gonna see phenomenal acting or anything. But i really do like the action scenes.
Absolutely. top 3 IMO
Where is Cougar from "The Loosers" he was a top class sniper for sure.
What about Sasha,the Serbian sniper of Behind Enemy Lines?? is a savage bad ass
Trueeee
great movie...
yeahh
I just posted about "Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko", whom I think they based Sasha from...
Oh! I'm not the only one! ^^
The lone female child sniper in FMJ should have had top place on this list. Not only was she skilled with that Dragunov, but she was totally terrifying up until end. No other movie sniper was able to scare the audience as well as her. I had Goosebumps for that whole scene. Not bad for a 13 year old.
Not Dragunov. She had VZ-58.
All technicalities aside, she kicked some Lusthog squad, Hotel 2-5 Marine's asses
yeah, the VC sniper in FMJ was scary as hell
Yeah not bad. Should could shoot still targets.
Had a teacher, vet, purple heart winner tell us that females actually make better snipers. No clue why
How could you miss Quigley from "Quigley down under?"
Was hoping to see this one somewhere.
That bucket shot 1200 yds. 3 times missed the video. Disappointed.
+MetalSkeleton56
The double kill was pretty good too, although it's hard to tell the range.
Yeah
RIGHT!?
5:16 "I'm 20 years old and I was dumb enough to sign a contract" Lol🤣🤣
FORGOT about Jeremy Renner from "28 Weeks Later".
His skill to check other snipers ( using small piece of mirror to find out their position, his ability to orientate ) is just great. Would place near to Jarhead. on 1st and 2nd place.
Great acting.
100% agreed
He's movie name was Sgt. Doyle. He was also skilled not only with his sniper rifle, but also with his backup M4A1. I liked the scene when he shoot up like 8 zombies during the escape with single shots.
Maza945
thank you :) I liked it too.
My favorite sniper is Jackson from Saving Private Ryan, he was a lefty shooter using a right handed bolt sniper and that didn't even stop him from being a badass and killing quite a few of those Germans.
no Shifty from Band of Brothers D:
but he wasn't technically a sniper though but he should of been
animelovers000 is it because he didnt have a scope? I think i remember them calling him a sniper even though he used an m1 garand
MillerTurk not sure to be honest not watched band of brothers for sometime but he was a damn good shot with the grand and sniping with a grand like he did is really hard to do
Yesssss shifty
I loved band o brothers let alone shifty powers, but idk if it is a movie

I loved Enemy at the Gates. I was quite surprised it was even in this list though!
"Enemy at the gates" was based on a real person. Vassili's gun is still at a museum
The .50 that Watters was supposed to be firing would not have worked the way it did in the movie. Due to the rate of fire, well it would be up in the air and her shoulder would be mush.
There is the bolt-action M95 and the semi-auto M82. I have seen the latter in a documentary being fired quite fast, but not exactly that fast.
The rifle is a delayed blowback similar to the M2 Browning with some shock-absorber. Together with its 14kg it makes it much easer than lets say the heavy Mauser (anti-tank) of the WWI, where the gunners had to be replaced after ten shots...
Am i the only one who is sad that"The professional: Leon" was not there Jean Reno and young Natalie Portmen are the most badass snipers
Oh! And the plant, super sniper plant
I would have liked Bob Lee Swagger to be a little higher on the list, but since I didn't know most of these I guess I'm glad he's even on it :)
“Act of Valor” should've been in this top 10 list, in my opinion. That movie had a great sniper scene.
Thanks. Must check it out
Oh come on, WatchMojo, why wasn't Wesley Gibson from Wanted on this list? That shot he makes at the end should have at least gotten him a mention. :)
LOL that might have been a little to farfetched. Plus he was never really classified a sniper
siralanlordsugar You just did. P.S. Will never make a movie of his exploits. Best sniper ever was the White Death. Finnish sniper during the Russo-Finnish war. Wait for it....... Legendary. He wasn't American though so he won't get the acclaim he deserves. Go argument. And Zaitzev, spelling blunder from me aside here, wasn't even the best Russian sniper. They had a school of them by the end of the war and by hell they were good
George Lazenby
I remember reading up on the White Death. Dude was crazy! Heck they made a song about him.
Dude used iron sights
I miss him too---
James IV idk i think they should have included it. along with all this other bullshit holleywood comes up with these days
In terms of skill, I agree with the number one, but overall awesomeness goes to pvt. Daniel Jackson
What was Bob Lee Swagger not doing in number one?
yeah that one was clearly the best
ever wachted enemy at the gates? its epic
Miss out :
Chow Yun Fatt of The Killer,
Dolph Lundgren of Silent Trigger,
Liam Hemsworth (The Expendables 2),
Patrice (Skyfall),
Schoolboy (Rambo),
Ben Affleck of The Accountant
Where is Domingo Chavez fro Clear and Present Danger?
i was thinking the same thing.
Right?!?! He was also in rainbow six
Ding!
+chillout1109 Being Tuco.
;) pretty
I never saw Heat (1995) but I didn't see a sniper rifle in this clips. When I looked on the Internet, he his apparently using a Heckler & Koch HK41, a semi-auto rifle. Sure you can mount a scope on this (I didn't really see a scope in the clips) but I would argue that you can't truly call this a sniper rifle or his skills can't be compared to others long range snipers in the other movies.
He does actually provide sniper cover during the meeting with Van Sandt's men at the derelict parking lot.
Haha, okay fair enough... I did not know the difference at all.
SGT - Stuttgart and CPL - Gordon, from Black Hawk Down, they inserted into the middle of a hostile city to protect a wounded pilot.
They battled for an hour against hundreds if not thousands of armed militia.
It was like Thermopylae, if the Greeks had only had two men.
Seriously, how are they not on this list. Real life heroes at that.
Sean Gorham in the movies dumbass
narto9851
No, real life. Black Hawk Down is about a real scenario. Sgt. First Class Randy Shughart died in the line of duty.
In the 2001 film Black Hawk Down, Shughart was portrayed by actor Johnny Strong
Master Sergeant Gary Gordon also died during the Battle of Mogadishu and was the squad leader of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta or, Delta Force. Which Shughart was a part of.
So, guess you're the dumbass here.
They also were the first people to receive the medal of honor posthumously since the Vietnam conflict.
Domingo Chavez - Clear and Present Danger (1994)
School Boy - Rambo (2008)
Quigley from "Quigley Down Under" should have got an honorable mention.
"Jarhead" dove more into the psychological effects of combat sans actual combat. I was going to be disappointed if one of the two "Enemy at The Gates" snipers were not in the top 3. Having been in the Marine Corps, Tom Berenger's sniper portrayal was my favorite.
okay, I've seen enemy at the gates and read the story of vasili zeitzef multiple times. however i just bought call of duty world at war and noticed that the beginning of the level Vendetta is almost identical to the scene in enemy at the gates where Vasili and Danilov first meet
5:19 "When life hands you lemons, you join the military and become a scout sniper in operation desert shield." xD
If there is a movie about Simo Häyhä he should be number one, he is a 5'3 killing machine . Also known as "The white death", for 100 days he killed 5 people a day. He was finally shot in the face then went into a coma for a couple weeks woke up and lived till 2002. Oh also he didn't use a scope on his rifle, he didn't like to bring his head up to use a scope so he just used iron sights. What a fucking bad ass.
Yeah yeah we know who he is. No there isnt movie about him. Also u forgot 1 thing. The forrest that he lived in was bombed because they feared him.... he didnt have a scratch. He also always put snow in his mouth when he was in a fight so people wouldnt see his breath
the 1st number ranking i've agreed with, good choice
Really? Swagger is only #10 when he takes out 2 targets with a .22 with a soda bottle silencer from over 1000 yards away on a boat???
That's right. He should be way higher
Right he's fuckin awsome
he definitely should be switched with Jarhead Swofford
there were so many good sniper moments in that movie, and that makes it my favorite movie af all time
thats still long for a 22 cal
nice list but what about Simo Häyhä? In 1939-1940 Simo Häyhä was a Finnish sniper with 505 confirmed kills which he acquired with a carbine version of a Mosin-Garant over open sights! He was also known to use a submachine gun and his unconfirmed kills are estimated to be 800 or more. As if this is good enough, he did it all in the dead of a Russian winter in 100 days!
I swear to to god if, I read another comment asking where Chris Kyle was on this list I'm going to kill myself.
where chris kyle?
Abdi Hassan Awali Oh you troll you.
lol what the hell is chris kyle anyways
wot da Hel He's taking a nap.
Oh shit I was just about to ask...
Val Kilmer wasn't a sniper in Heat. Even calling him a marksman would be a bit of a stretch. That HK91 is just a battle rifle and that Colt is clearly just a carbine.
In fact, the best sniper since Winter War is still Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä with over 500 confirmed kills. And he did those kills much under 3 months. His best kill was headshot to about 500 meters. That kill was shot with iron sights. Häyhä never used scope for couple of reasons. There's the best sniper we have ever had. And I'm proud of having same blood he had.
I know one of the reasons was that the scope could reveal him by reflecting the sun, more than that I do not know.
It was because of the environment, vast plains of snow so the scope would be revealing.
TimpsterTheDude Also the fact that scopes can easily fog up in cold weather.
Randy Sellner That too.
TimpsterTheDude and the fact that using scopes puts your head on a higher profile than without.
You three all took that from Wikipedia I swear to god. Those are all the same reasons stated on the site lol but I agree; he was the best.
No honorable mention for the father & son in "Wanted"? Those snipes were super-human! XD
Yeah, "Enemy at the Gates" takes the cake in this list. It's not just a "best sniper" flick, it's the best flick of the bunch. The film is very well done and demonstrates how the publicity of a single gunman, (Jude Law as Vasili Zaytsev) can rouse the spirit of a disheartened people. The film did not get terrific ratings (especially in Russia and Germany), so we have to accept that some portion was probably heavily fictionalized. But even so, the fiction brought to the film made it more engrossing. There was no subtext at the beginning of the film to say that the film was a documentary. However, Vasili was real and still considered a hero among the Russian people.
+Thor Odinson Still one of my favorite movies of all time. It's what drove me to buy a very well preserved PU M91/30. not those $100 turds, but a clean bore, non re-arsenal rifle. I love it.
+Thor Odinson I agree, most people don't realize the significance of the Battle of Stalingrad and the role Snipers played in it. Vasili Zaytsev was real, and except for the dual with the German Major (fiction, possible propaganda), was credited with over 625 kills. Because Stalingrad had many concrete buildings with rebar- reinforced concrete, all the Luftwaffe succeeded in doing with bombing Stalingrad was to create a perfect Snipers Killing Ground...Hitler's insistence with leveling Stalingrad first, then block the Vogal and capture the Caspian Oilfields second, doomed the Germans in the East...
"Bob Lee Swagger" has to be the most ridiculous character name ever. They might as well have just named him "Jack Hollowpoint 'Merica" or "Long Dick McBadass".
Your point being?? Hes badass
I lol'd
ha ha
Bob Lee 540 Ladder Stall Y Y No Scope
***** Lol, I like "Smash Lamp Jaw".
The Sniper from Phone Booth.
He's notable to me for being a guy who decided to take the matter of somebody's own inefficacy with commitment into his hands, and showed that guy his own mistakes. By causing a havoc and rubbing it in his face.
Kiefer Sutherland was the perfect person to play the sniper in that movie, I love his voice.
Pvt Daniel Jackson is an absolute badass. Boy was left handed using a right handed rifle, and his shots were clean as hell.
Quigley in Quigley Down Under (Tom Selleck) was a sniper of sorts - wish he was on this list
Quigley makes all these others look like amateurs, Buffalo hunters made amazing shots with their Sharps rifles and iron sights. Look up Billy Dixon, he dropped an Indian at 1500 yards with a Sharps .50-90. He didn't need a fancy .50 Barret or .338 Lapua, straight up skill.
now it has been quite a while since ive seen quigley down under but doesnt he make it apparently clear he actually preferes a pistol over a rifle? or at least doesnt like using rifles
Devin Healy
No, you have it backwards. He prefers the rifle over the pistol. Spoiler: in the final scene with the main baddy he had a quick draw duel, and after he won he said something like "just because I don't like using pistols doesn't mean that I don't know how to shoot them."
ahh okay wasnt sure
you could always watch it again.....just to make extra sure. :D
I like Leon, who teaches a little kid how to be one too. The Professional forever.
***** The two are not mutually exclusive.
***** yes. You Right... the others just kills people.
oh hell yeah i forgot all about him! badass movie
Private Ryan should've won, Hurt Locker should've been second.
Men varför har du Göran Persson som profilbild?
the thing is vasili was real
ssuo ben youre right I agree
ssuo ben agreed.
agreed
Swagger #10? What!?
Chris Shiherlis doesn't count as a sniper in my book, he only "snipes" once, and doesn't even use a scope. More covering his friends with an assault rifle while they do a deal and then shooting up the other guys when it goes wrong than sniping. Even if you consider that sniping, just because he uses a rifle at a distance one time does not make him a sniper by any means. He's a cool character, but you shouldn't randomly wedge him into a list he doesn't belong in.
The #1 there is a mission on Call Of Duty: World At War, where you do the same thing and your in the same place.
Yeap, games often copy films. That is why some of the scenes in Call of Duty and the old Medal of Honor games are fantastic but totally unoriginal.
This actually happened. It was more of a historical thing. Also, just about every Call of Duty that takes place in WW2 has the Russian sniper mission in Stalingrad. The reason being, is that snipers were very instrumental to the German defeat. One sniper can hold off an entire Company. Well placed snipers can hold off an offensive. Vasily Zaitsev rose to the rank of Hero of the Soviet Union.
rjonesbeau1 Yep you're going to be right, but then again movies COPY written history.
you mean vendetta?
yes
3:43 Sniping's a good job, mate!
Matthew Quigley (played by Tom Selleck) in the film "Quigley Down Under"
Okay so I have a couple of problems with this list.
1) Is the girl from Smoking Aces being on the list. At 2:36 you can see her closing her eyes when firing the rifle.
2) Shooter being so low and Top Bishop only being an honorable mention.
3) Jarhead is at 4? This list should not be about the "artsy" part of the list and the movie wasn't even that good. Spy Games sniper was better and so was the movie.
what the hell. I was gonna type this exact comment. WOW!
I was thinking something similar about Jarhead. I actually like the movie, but he never actually snipes anyone. How does he even sniff this list.
The sniper chick from Full Metal Jacket should be top 5. I wonder if anyone ever realized she was SNIPING people with an AK-47.
true
THIS.
+Juggtacula looked like a type 56 to me
So a Chinese copy of the AK-47..... :-)
+Juggtacula it was a modified sks (Chinese)
I think Chris Kyle and Quigley should have at least gotten honorable mentions while, I agree with the number one choice.
Tom I think the were going fictional characters because they left out Gordon and Stughart from Black Hawk Down
It said Movie
I don't think so. Vasily Zaytsev is very real.
Tom
I love private Daniel Jackson
There were better real life snipers made into movies than chief kyle. Starting with Simo Häyhä in White Death.
Pvt. Jackson deserves to be number 1.
tstevens8892 I one hundred percent agree.
He shouldn’t because he wasn’t a real person.
Yes
He was left handed using a right handed gun too
Leon from Leon the Professional? Come on, he is bad ass.
remember what he said - sniper is for rookies.
Galina Dimitrova-Dimova Exactly. He excels at killing.
Leon is a badass
Joe Shit the Rag Man You don't say. :D
Oh shit! that was totally forgotten!
Pvt. Daniel Jackson is the best in my opinion 👌
Not a true sniper. Really a designated marksman
I thought that when mentioning Vasili, they will also note that he is the only sniper on the list that actually existed.
My favorite is private daniel jackson
For once and for all
Zaitsev > Kyle
Эдуард Вятчанин And Surkov > Zajcev
And Hayha > Surkov
Эдуард Вятчанин Hathcock was better than both
Hayha < Surkov, Hayha was better killer, but Surkov better sniper !
AuraSavior Gaming hayha was just killing any soviet soldier that laid in his line of fire, while zaitsev was a true tactician, he didnt simply kill the irrelevant german infantries, but he sniped enemy snipers, artillery spotters, recon, etc. zaitsev is a true legend
This list will need to be updated, Chris Kyle's movie is coming out soon.
(Sorry Vassili, I mean Jude).
Nope, Vassili still takes the cake. Plus, the best damn sniper of them all, The White Death Simo Häyhä
Not to rain on the parade of Chris Kyle, but Carlos Hathcock had a more interesting story for a movie adaptation. (He shot a Vietcong sniper with 50. Cal Ma Deuce, no scope, from over 2000 yards, with just one shot. That used to be the longest sniper kill record holder).
If Pythagoras didnt lie to us, 255 is more than 242, so Kyle takes the cake (again, sorry Jude).
Simo is the best, no doubt, however, the video is about snipers in movies, so until theres a movie about him...
But I agree Hathcock's story wouldve made a way better movie than Kyle's, no doubt.
gewerh44 True, true.... I do hope those two legends that i mentioned above got their due respect by Hollywood.
Brian Fantana
I hope that too.
When I did read about Simo, I thought: "Vassili who??" Damn, that finnish dude was a badass.
Maybe his nationality is what keeps Hollywood movie makers away from that story. Its all about money, and maybe they wont gain much with a movie about Häyhä's achievements.
What I dont understand is why they havent made a movie about Carlos Hathcock. Its crazy.
Oh well, I guess they prefer to keep making cheap "found footage" 50k dollar movies and gaining 400million.
Brian Fantana He actually did put a scope on that .50 cal, it was also the Browning .50 cal LMG
In my opinion, Swagger is clearly place one. He takes out whole army squads, shoots down a freakin´ helicopter while being shot at with grenade launchers, a minigun and the helicopter itself, and he shoots a target over 1,6 kilometers.
Raymond Shaw (Lawrence Harvey) from The Manchurian Candidate and Alvin C. York (Gary Cooper) from Sergeant York
Bob lee Swagger from "Shooter " should of been #1
no way. have you even watched enemy at the gates?
Naw he couldn't have watched it.
I mean looking at the scene where he timed his shots with the explosions and killed all them guys, with no scope, was legendary.
I don’t think he should have been No1 but he should of been a bit higher, although I believe that ‘series’ Bob lee was better than ‘movie’ bob lee.
Ya
He's doing 360 no scope collateral yyyyyyyyyyy ladderstall
You forgot to mention how #3 was a leftie using a right-handed rifle for his pin-point accuracy.
holy crap HEAT is my favorite movie but it has nothing to do with sniping. chris is not even sniping in this movie.
he only has an assault rifle with a vision extension.
thats not a sniper what the fek
there is no set weapon for sniping one older longest sniper kill was set with a 50 cal machine gun
I'm pretty sure Cross from Wanted 2008 was also a sniper at the beginning of the film and Wesley Gibson at the end of the film.
Bob Lee Swagger only at 10? Are you kidding me? He should be top 3. That girl from Smokin Aces above him LOL? Only reason she is even on the list is because she is using a M82.
She shouldn't be here, cuz she shoots like from machine gun
The two snipers who sacrificed their lives in Black Hawk Down. Could've gotten a mentioned at least.
They would have been better suited than the movie Heat, as there was almost non existent "Sniping" during that movie.
Myles Prower Lol very true
Swagger should've been higher up.
Swagger was my favorite because I've read a lot of the books and some of them were very good. Whalberg was all right but they should've made the movie years ago with Robert Patrick. I think he would've been a better fit for the role if he could do the Arkansaw accent.
'Sees enemy at the gates clip'
Oh so that's where CoD world at war got the idea lol
Red Orchestra. most kids don't even know how cool that game was.
