Finnish soldier Simo Häyhä, known as the White Death, is considered the deadliest sniper in history. During the Winter War (1939–1940), he is credited with over 500 confirmed kills — all while using an iron-sight rifle without a scope. He preferred it that way. Scopes glinted in the sun. Iron sights didn’t. He blended into the snow and waited for hours without moving. Soviet soldiers were so terrified of him that entire units were ordered to hunt him down — and most of them didn’t return. @scary
