Deadliest USSR sniper


Many people think that is Vasily Zaytsev, but there is other man Fyodor Okhlopkov. Zaytzev had 242 verified kills and Okhlopkov 429 confirmed kills. For Zaytsev the real number may be much higher, some argue it might have been as many as 400, but the same is true as well for Okhlopkov, who is on other hand Yakut and often overlooked for that reason. Despite him ethnics he had typical Russian name.

Most powerful explosion ever


Tsar Bomba was the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb had a yield of about 50 megatons of TNT. The bomb was tested on October 30, 1961 in Novaya Zemlya, an island in the Arctic Sea. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 60 km high (nearly seven times higher than Mount Everest) and 30–40 km wide. Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage up to 1,000 km away.

Longest range sniper kill

The current world record for the longest range sniper kill is 2,430 meters (7,972 feet), accomplished by a Canadian sniper, Corporal Rob Furlong, of the third battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (3 PPCLI), during the invasion of Afghanistan, using a .50 BMG (12.7mm) McMillan TAC-50 bolt-action rifle. This meant that the bullet had a flight time of ≈ 4.5 seconds, and a drop of ≈ 70 meters (230 feet).

The previous record was held by US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock (on the photo), achieved during the Vietnam War, at a distance of 2,250 meters.

Most Successful Sniper Ever

Simo Häyhä (December 17, 1905–April 1, 2002) a Finish soldier with 505 confirmed kills against Soviet soldiers is widely considered to be the most successful sniper in history. The unofficial Finnish frontline figure from the battlefield of Kollaa places the number of Häyhä's sniper kills at 542. Besides his sniper kills, Simo Häyhä was also credited with as many as two hundred kills with a Suomi M-31 SMG submachine gun, thus bringing his credited kills to at least 705. All of Häyhä's kills were accomplished within 100 days prior to injuries caused by an enemy bullet.

Soviet Snipers


Many people think that Vasily Zaytsev is the best (may be better to say deadliest) Soviet sniper, but there is another man - Fyodor Okhlopkov. I have done some researches and apparently he was the best Soviet sniper. Zaytzev had 242 verified kills and Okhlopkov 429. For Zaytsev the real number may be much higher, some argue it might have been as many as 400, but the same is true as well for Okhlopkov, who is on other hand Yakut and often overlooked because that. Despite his ethnics he had typical Russian name. Probably his record is beaten only by Simo Häyhä.

Lucky Luck is back


This guy is definitely one of the fastest shooters not only in the west, but in the world. Imagine bar in the 18 century wild west and there are five villains inside. The distance will be approximate the same, the targets (human heads) actually bigger. That guy reacts and strikes all five of them for 0.88 sec, which is faster than what most people will need to pull out the gun from the holster alone. He really can defend himself.
