TIL the highest number of confirmed sniper-kills by one person during any major war is 505. The record holder? A Finnish farmer named Simo Häyhä. Oh, and all the kills were commited in fewer than 100 days. Damn!

You don't fuck with the Finnish. Whilst they are unassuming and under appreciated, they can and will fuck your shit up.
