Will there ever be anyone more badass than Simo Häyhä?

You forgot the 200+ kills he made with his Suomi submachine gun.

>>391162
Is there any verifiable proof as to his number of kills? That's always come off more like inflated propaganda imo.

It isn't a particularly historically interesting thread, because the answer is "Yes, but it is hard to think of someone that was well documented, and individual badasses aren't that important anyway."

Think of it like you're posting the Navy Seal pasta… how many replies would you expect that to get?

Why does everybody not doubt this guy? Obviously he didn't get 500 kills. That only happens in modern bullshit wars against helpless peasants.

These guys don't look too hard to see and shoot.
