Watch Full Interview

--------

Nicholas Irving, a former sniper with the 3rd Ranger Battalion of the U.S. Army, believes females could make better snipers due to their calm disposition and attention to detail. Irving, who scored 33 confirmed kills with a sniper rifle, compared his record with that of renowned Soviet sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko, who had 309 confirmed kills. He reasoned that the thought process of females, which he described as more particular and observant, could be beneficial in a sniper situation. Shawn Prez also touched on Irving's mixed feelings towards the police caused by a fear of potential mishandling of home intruder situations. His preference would be to handle such a situation himself rather than risk an accidental police shooting.
