At the national shooting match, was forced by
Stalin to join the competition even after pretending to be cross-eyed. Ironically, this is
what Stalin wanted, since he hated being beaten, and proceeded to kill anyone who dared to
beat him.
During the match, Sniper was able to beat Stalin
hands down. His skill was flawless, and he successfully hit the seven coins held in the
fingers of seven men, a hundred meters away. Stalin, on the other hand, showed almost
equal skill, hitting seven out of seven. "Almost equal skill", because all seven
coinholders died.
Now, Sniper, no longer cross-eyed, stood there in
fear for his life, thinking Stalin would kill him in fury at any second, raising the day's
body count to eight. But surprisingly, Stalin admired his courage and bravery, and most of
all, his skill. He was promptly assigned as one of Stalin's personal bodyguards, along
with Saunders.

Was marching too close to FlyMolo when Molo's famous Rifle
Dropping Incident happened. It turns out that both soldiers had spotted a silver coin on
the ground and were trying to kick it along, each hoping to bend down and grab it first
after the march was over. As the kicking took some
concentration, Molo's grip on his rifle loosened, making him drop the rifle.
