Produktbeschreibung

For over a century, the United States of America has been the mightiest nation the world has ever seen This is due, in large part, to its citizen servants who risk life and limb for the preservation of the American way of life. Among these citizen soldiers, there exists an elite few who have dedicated their lives to the art of the rifle. Today, they bare the hard earned title "Sniper," and while it is regarded as a relatively modern method of warfare, it turns out that they have been there since the birth cry of America.
