Always fascinating to see how it's accepted to kill hundreds as a soldier, but when a civillian does it, it's an outrage.

XxpoonSmaSsher69devilAtheistxX- 1,500 quickscope, 2,000,000 no scope. Plus he destroyed my mom apparently.

Without dying, that's probably a shitload of UAVs for each of them

I understand that these people were protecting their people and that's awesome but why is this something to be celebrated?

Hitler - 6 million confirmed kills
somespazzoid
Vasily Zaytsev does not look like Jude Law
Nungerner
5646 kills spread over 20 snipers.... bloody hell.... I guess bombs do a lot worse.

They were good at their jobs, and that's always interesting to see.

Cause of war glorification.

Why is "The White Death" not in this list.

Adolf Hitler 6 million confirmed kills
Killertortilla
Why are you telling us this... This is not a good thing.
Greymalum
So we all realize these are humans who were fighting for what they think was the right reason. A moment of silence for them and family.
storebrandproductmascot
A schizophrenic who kills you because he's sure you're Lucifer thinks he's fighting for the right reason. Should I honor him?
Greymalum
The victims, bro. I wasn't talking about the killers all together. I think my comment didn't come out right.
PureBloodMuggle
It upsets me that this isn't in order
petezahutt
Get over it.
Oscarwildebastardson
I apologize for that.
PureBloodMuggle
That's okay, if that's the worst problem in my day, it's a pretty good day!
Oscarwildebastardson
That's one way to look at it.
MalcoImreynolds
This went better than expected.
Panzer89
Well Chris Kyle did lie, or at the very least stretch the truth beyond reasonable limits, so his count is questionable at best.
rfenton
Not to mention he thought he was basically on another crusade to rid the world of Muslims.
squelcheswetly
Let's hope they regretted the need for every single one of those.
CitizenDickbag
Chris Kyle was an unabashed racist who reveled in his, so no.
mancrush
The Russians are surprisingly un-sexist in their sniper selection.
OverlyCynicalImgurian
Desperate times, they also had a few female tank crew as well.
normalperson123
Russian military integration has always been very progressive. They have greater need for women to rise to the call of duty.
normalperson123
Personally, I think sniping is a combat role that suits women well. Not all warfare is dragging 300 lb men while wearing full comat gear.

Firstly I am a veteran, secondly why glorify people dying.

It's not like it's a good thing, but damn, it's still commendable what people can do on their own like this.

This. I'm always bothered by posts like this which celebrate killing.

As a species we are obsessed by numbers.

As a non vet, non army, i too would like to know
SeregRauko
As another vet, I ask the same question.
EzraFell
1) I came here for Pavlichenko, and was satisfied. 2) Why is the second to last a Soviet Union soldier wearing a German helmet?
Comunistrussianplaguedoctor
Probably as a trophy, or because it protected his head more
ordohereticusinquisitor
He's using a German rifle with a German shovel, German uniform, and (I think) German boots, I suspect the picture is wrong.
shovelfight
I was wondering the same thing!
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
and using a German K98 rifle. Helmets are one of the easiest ways to identify enemy combatants, so wearing a German helmet is an excellent 2
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
As a dude who collects Soviet stuff, I suspect that that photo isn't even the same guy, because he is also wearing German camouflage (1)
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
way to get killed from friendly fire. Even though there was a shortage of helmets in the first years of the war, no helmet was better. (1)

Any reason you left out the highest: Simo Häyhä nicknamed "White Death" by the Reds, a Finnish marksman, reported as having killed 505 men
ChasePoppins
Because Boaty McBoatface won the battle but lost the war. Keanu Weeps. It was just one dickbutt too far, On Imgur's fields.

You're in the bullets way! The white deaths prey! Say goodbye!

Because he lost the war
Camelspotting
That's debatable.
doucher
Which side were the Finns on?
coloradostoneman
they were trying to keep the soviets from annexing them. they survived.
Kaalivanukas
For themselves
Camelspotting
Finland lost territory but Russia lost several times more men and tanks/planes.
Synner1985
If i remember correctly wasn't he a farmer who just had a rifle with no scope? or am i thinking of someone else.....
Kaalivanukas
A trained and renowned military marksman actually.
StarvingGarbage
That's him. But he preferred no scope. No glare for enemy snipers to spot and he could keep his head low with iron sights.
Synner1985
Impressive, REAL impressive.... i just hope me remembering that will come in handy at some time other than Imgur... a pub quiz maybe! :D
StarvingGarbage
One can only hope
Liquidbullets
That was him
Synner1985
Holy shit i'm impressed i remembered another useless fact that will only serve purpose on Imgur, or a pub quiz! Woo hoo!
DerangedMoosh
actually I think he had a rifle and an SMG
Synner1985
Not sure if sarcastic or just pointing out i missed the SMG... but +1 to you! :D
iDreamaboutthosedemonfishies
Simo Häyhä - Finland - 505 sniper kills - 200 SMG kills
walruspower
And that's only his confirmed kill
OverlyCynicalImgurian
Not confirmed kills, since he operated alone.
TheHellbilly
He had a spotter with him.
Iforgetmyusernameeasily
White Death!
DukeOfChutney608
i was waiting for his stats, ty sir

THANKS! I was wondering where he was.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
Should have been in the post
SchmuseTigger
yes, there is only one white death and that would be him
Nalvor
You're in the bullets way! The white deaths prey! Say goodbye!
TheAccountfortheNSFWStuff
Love me some Sabaton.
Varenvel
was about to say "where the fuck is simo" when missing him out on sniper list its like missing windows on operating system list
Bennybones
No. There are false claims that he had 505 kills, the SMGs are supposed to be included. Realistically no one, including him, knows.
Bennybones
I probably shouldn't say false. No one knows, including himself as neither he nor anyone else kept count.
Atomic2
To be fair, the soviet targets were easy to pick off because they didn't have proper uniforms for the snowy conditions.
Johnny5dicks
The land was red by then so no excuses.
stonedpolarbear
This dude is getting old on imgur.... I want new sniper stories.... It's like seeing a constant repost
Liquidbullets
So... make up new history?

Imagine living your day to day life knowing you've killed that many people
Zokathra
Soooo... AWESOME!
ALittleNekoWithaKnife
IIRC he said he regretted the loss of human life but if they invaded again tomorrow he'd do it all over again, no hesitation.
Panzer89
He lived out his days as a moose hunter and dog breeder, so it's safe to say he wasn't bothered much.
Liquidbullets
I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine it'd be easier knowing they were trying to kill you first
GodOfTheBumbleBees
Imagine living your life, knowing this dude is out to get you
Volcanuz
There was surprisingly little rape during ww2 except for around prison camps. It still happened but it was small compared to other wars.
Liquidbullets
2) plus it'd help knowing they tend to rape and murder the villages they invaded.
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
I actually read somewhere that he was made up to scare off the Russians, the real guy wasn't that great.
TheHellbilly
Don't believe every lie you read...
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
Well I am not saying it is, it's just a theory
Iwasoutedbyatroll
It sounds like something the commies would say to deal with their failure against Finland in the Winter War.
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
They still won the war, although with considerable losses, but it wasn't that huge of a failure
TheHellbilly
Real Simo Häyhä scared the russians enough, there was no need for stories. :)
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
Thats cool, send me a picture of him with every confirmed kill.

Kylo Ren (through Starkliller base)- more than Vader. just one shot took out several planets, we only saw the deathstar destroy one planet

Kylo Ren did not do that. That would presumably be attributed to Lord Snoke
Hetuni
So, lord snoke... At least 300 billion considering how densely packed Coruscant was?

I don't think the Senate is on coruscant anymore I'm sure those we're different planets
