I have never heard about Simo Häyhä!..tell me more please..
You gotta be kidding me!

Simo Häyhä was a sniper during the Winter War, tallied well over 500 during the war, used only iron sights and sometimes even the Suomi SMG to snipe. Farthest kill just over 400m without a scope and still has the largest amount of confirmed sniper kills in the world.

Hard to find anything in english about him, but try this :rotfl:
