Spec Ops Sniper Training

Much like U.S. Navy Seals have captured the public's imagination, U.S. military snipers, in particular spec ops (special operations) snipers, are now experiencing the spotlight thanks in part to Chris Kyle's book "American Sniper," and Clint Eastwood's film of the same name. There's also a new book out by Special Operations Direct Action Sniper, Nicholas Irving, called "The Reaper: Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers."

How much do we know about the training, mindset, weapons, and technology used by our elite snipers? I think these two videos might answer some of your questions.
