He pulled his old gun out of storage and waited for the Soviets. The Winter War lasted roughly 100 days, in that time, Häyhä eliminated 505 soldiers, an average of over 5 a day.
The Soviets gave him the name ‘White Death’ and he became the deadliest sniper in history.

Soviet Soldier: sneezes Snow: “Bless you” Soviet Soldier: “Thanks”

Soviets: “We'll be invading Finland” Häyha: “Reality can be disappointing”

A wise man once said: “if you heard the shot, then it wasnt for you”
-
One key reason to Simo's efficiency with his rifle was the fact it was HIS rifle. He used it to hunt, target practice, etc. He knew exactly where his sights had to be for each shot.
-
Simo doesn’t kill anyone. He just finnishes them

Hitler: “Wanna hear a joke?” Stalin: “What is it?” Hitler: “Finland” Stalin: “I don't get it” Hitler: “Wunderbar”

That one bro in a ranked game.

My mother has danced waltz with him. Such an honor! He was very polite and sweet.

Enemy: let's push him he's just a sniper The Sniper:

Why are farmers so good at this like in the American Revolution the Vietnam war and here Edit: lol ukraine farmers apparently stole a tank
-
I love the detail when Simo twitches his leg. For you see, officer who notices it yells: "Elossa! Lääkintäpaikalle!" Which is finnish and means: "Alive! To medical tent/area." Great detail:)
-
Ussr: we have 360000 soldiers tanks and artillery. Finland: we have 10 mad farmers on skis
-
Soviet soldier: “I fear no man- but that thing” *Points to snow * “It terrifies me”
-
Imagine being scared of your foe so hard that you assign one of your artillery units just for the desperate chance of simply hitting him by any means.

There is one Key factor that made Simo such an excellent shot and why it is unlikely there will ever be a sniper as good as he was. It's the fact that the M28 he used was his own personal weapon which he purchased from the army after his national service. As such he had hundreds if not thousands of hours with a single rifle as such he knew every minute detail and intracy of his weapon allowing him an unprecedented level of accuracy and consistency. Modern soldiers are given a rifle for a deplyoyment or for guard duty after which it goes back to the armoury. They may never see the exact same rifle again. So while they may be very competent with the rifle at a general level they never will be quite as familliar with a single rifle which will have tiny quirks due to minute differences in forging, barrel wear and part fit.
-
How he shoots with circles for hands is beyond me. The fact that he got shot in the head and survived and then outlived the Soviet Union dying in 2002 makes this man's story even more incredible.

Everyone gangsta until Simo pulls out his sniper, adds to his record KD, and Finishes the job. I’ll be leaving now
