Line 18:
* Kurz Weber from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'' is a former fashion model, [[Lovable Sex Maniac]], and generally a sociable and talkative guy who, when temporarily assigned to cover bodyguarding Kaname in Sousuke's place, introduced himself directly to her and her friend, playing [[Funny Foreigner]] and getting the girls to take him out for karaoke. True to the trope, he's also an expert sniper who once managed to take out a [[Humongous Mecha]]'s machine gun by firing into its barrel... from the bed of a speeding pickup truck. The [[Light Novels]] eventually reveal that Kurz made a conscious choice to avoid becoming a [[Cold Sniper]] following his training with one of them.
{{quote| '''Kurz:''' This is Uruz 6, I'm in firing position. It's time to party!! *snipe, snipe, snipe*}}
* Quite a few [[Fanon]] portrayals of [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Finland]] peg him as one of these. Considering he's a mix of [[Badass Adorable]] and [[Boisterous Bruiser]] as well as how [[Badass]] [[Cold Sniper]] [
* Nadie in ''[[El Cazador De La Bruja]]'' is a rather nice and personable girl, who is very very skilled with her pistol and will not hesitate to kill you.
* As a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Kurz, ''[[Gundam 00]]'''s [[Trope Pantheons/Weapons|Lockon Stratos]] also qualifies - {{spoiler|both of them, but especially the original}}.
Line 31:
* Gain Bijou from ''[[Overman King Gainer]]'' is a laid-back [[Casanova]] who can shoot down any Overman the Siberian Railroad tries to stop the Exodus with. And he does so in an obsolete Silhouette Machine ({{spoiler|at least, until he upgrades to the Emperanza}}), so he also counts as a [[Badass Normal]].
* Lynette Bishop of the ''[[Strike Witches]]''.
* ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' has Garuru, who very amiable and friendly, especially towards his baby brother Giroro... in the manga, at least. The anime, however, [[Flanderization|flanderized]] him into more of a [[Cold Sniper]] and [[Aloof Big Brother]]. This partly has to do with timing: the manga introduces him while he's helping the platoon escape when a medical exam causes their mission to almost be canceled, while the anime waited until the [[Wham! Episode|Wham Arc]] of his platoon being sent to replace them.
* Suou in the second season of ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' becomes a [[Cold Sniper]] when her powers initially kick in, but after that, goes back to her normal friendly personality.
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. The perpetually-cheerful and friendly cyborg girl Rico, though that's partially due to her conditioning which means that killing people doesn't affect her in the slightest.
Line 136:
** Snipers who are extroverts are often considered better adjusted than the traditional cold sniper though ideally a sniper is a mix: cold enough to carry out orders without hesitation or fear, yet emotional enough to not become a sociopath.
* [[Simo Hayha]], the greatest sniper in history, was very friendly off the battlefield.
* [
* Alvin York combined this with [[Badass Pacifist]].
