1. Marksman

   A marksman is a person who is skilled in precision or shooting, using projectile weapons, such as with a rifle but most commonly with a designated marksman rifle and/or a sniper rifle, to shoot at long range targets. The main difference between a marksman and a normal sniper is that a marksman is usually considered an organic part of a fireteam of soldiers, whereas regular snipers tend to work alone or with other snipers. In the military, marksmen are sometimes attached to an infantry fireteam or squad where they take accurate long-range shots at valuable targets as needed, thus extending the reach of the fireteam or squad. Another term for a marksman is a sharpshooter, which was used in the early 19th Century for individuals who used the Sharps Rifle such as the 2nd United States Sharpshooters
