It's my understanding he never saw action after getting shot in the face -- which I can forgive him for

And then the label of "BEST" it all depends on what criteria is being used for that label. Just like the discussion of "ELITE." If you are going by sheet numbers okay. Or, what about shooting ability long or difficult shots? Or infiltration to very secure areas to make the shot? Or stalking the target until you can make the shot? There are so many criteria that can be considered. Just like the game, alot of the players who have no clue think its just a high rifle score. To be a good sniper takes intelligence as well as a shooting ability and then you learn lots and lots of fieldcraft.
In threads on creating a sniper in other game systems, I've argued that Stealth and Camouflage are slightly more important to a military sniper than Rifle (a police sniper is a different matter).
