A Request For Help On Characters (Plus Lenin-2 Expansion Ideas)

If you want to build a sniper you want either Tactical Shooting or Gun Fu. both books have Templates for snipers with Tactial Shooting being heavily realistic and Gun Fu not realistic at all.

Note that Gun fu isn't deliberately not realistic. It's mission statement was to cover the most cinematic sources of gun-toting heroes and while none of the names you mentioned rang a bell with with me they sounded "cinematic" (a much-used term in Gurpsland).

I looked at Gun Fu's Ispiration source material list and didn't see your guys either but surely you would recognize some of them. Sniper is the least common of the book's "Styles" (another important Gurpsism). Most post Apocalyptic stuff might be more likely to be Army of One or Ultimate Shootist.
