I fail to see what is terrifying about good marksmanship.
Personally - the idea of somebody blowing my brains out while I am unaware is oddly comforting.
Death is certain. Getting that way without any forewarning seems better than sitting around stressing out about it.
So chill, relax, and quit moving around so much....
I guess I'm just not as fatalistic as you are.
If someone is standing in front of me with a gun, I can - and have done - something about it. Granted, these weren't professional (or even particularly skilled) people. Bit of advice - if someone doesn't want a broken arm, they shouldn't wave guns in my face.

Quote:Due to the surprise nature of sniper fire, high lethality of aimed shots and frustration at the inability to locate and counterattack snipers, sniper tactics have a significant negative effect on morale. Extensive use of sniper tactics can be used to induce constant stress and fear in opposing forces, making them afraid to move about or leave cover. In many ways, the psychological impact imposed by snipers is quite similar to those of landmines, booby-traps, and IEDs (constant threat, high "per event" lethality, inability to strike back).[68][69][70]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper#Psy...al_warfare
