5. CARLOS HATHCOCK
Carlos Norman Hathcock II (20 May 1942 – 22 February
1999) was a United States Marine Corps sniper with a
service record of 93 confirmed kills. Hathcock's record and
the extraordinary details of the missions he undertook
made him a legend in the Marine Corps. His fame as a
sniper and his dedication to long-distance shooting led him
to become a major developer of the United States Marine
Corps Sniper training program. He was honored by having a
rifle named after him: a variant of the M21 dubbed the
Springfield Armory M25 White Feather, for the nickname
"White Feather" given to Hathcock by the NVA. CARLOS NORMAN HATHCOCK
