Anyone who has seen the Hollywood epic about the Battle of Stalingrad,
Enemy at the Gates knows the famous Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev. Although the film took artistic liberties with some of the characters, Zaytsev was as deadly as portrayed.
While numerous snipers during World War II tallied up many more sniper kills than Zaytsev, what was amazing about him was that he accrued his more than 250 confirmed kills in just a four-month period. This averages out to an incredible 2.04 kills per day!
