In this episode, Raven Thorne explores the complex science and psychology behind military sniping. Beginning with the mathematics of ballistics, she details how snipers must account for gravity, wind, temperature, and even the Earth's rotation when taking shots at extreme distances. The episode examines how professional marksmen train to control their bodies—timing shots between heartbeats and mastering breath control—while using increasingly sophisticated technology from custom rifles to digital ballistic calculators. Beyond the technical aspects, Thorne delves into the psychological dimension of precision killing, exploring the "intimacy paradox" where snipers develop one-sided relationships with targets they observe for days before eliminating them. Through interviews with military snipers and psychologists, the episode reveals how these specialists manage the moral weight of their actions and how the sniper's position within military units reflects our cultural ambivalence toward precision violence.
