Chapter 787: Three Treasures of the Mercenary

What is the most striking characteristic of a modern sniper?

Beyond a sniper rifle, another characteristic of a sniper might be the ghillie suit.

It looks ugly, but the camouflage effect of the ghillie suit is really impressive. These days, if you don't wear a ghillie suit when you go out, no one would dare claim to be a sniper.

What is a ghillie suit? The most widely accepted origin of the name comes from a Scottish person named Gillie, initially used by Scottish hunters to camouflage themselves during hunting, and it was first used on the battlefield during World War I.

The popularity of the ghillie suit only really took off globally in the last twenty to thirty years, not just frequently seen on movie screens, but also standard issue in the armies of various nations. Essentially, almost all snipers are equipped with a ghillie suit, whether or not there is a tradition of using such suits.
