A marksman, often referred to as a shooter or a sniper, is an individual who is highly skilled in the use of firearms and is trained to shoot accurately at long distances. Marksmen are typically employed by military forces, law enforcement agencies, and private security firms. They are also used for hunting and target shooting. Marksmanship requires a high degree of accuracy, precision, and concentration, and marksmen must be able to quickly and accurately assess a situation and make decisions based on their observations.
