* Barry Pepper's [[Southern -Fried Private]] Daniel Jackson (yes, [[Stargate SG-1|that's the character's name]]) from ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]''. Jackson is like this to his squadmates, but to the Germans he casually picks off while quoting the Bible, he's a lot [[Cold Sniper|colder]].
* Frank Sinatra played a non-heroic [[Friendly Sniper]] in ''Suddenly''.
* Michael McCandles in ''[[Big Jake]]''. He won't kill humans or animals, except for food (in the case of the latter) or in self-defense (in the case of the former). He is also polite and respectful to his father, despite the fact that said father [[Parental Abandonment|walked out on him during his youth]].
Line 63:
* Wes Janson from the [[X Wing Series]] is ''very'' friendly. He's very good at playing pranks, [[Man Child|acting like a little kid]], and hitting anything he aims at. He tends to prefer sidearms to rifles, though.
** Despite his childlike personality in general, when he is in combat he reverts to a [[Cold Sniper]].
* Julie Sims of ''[[Sixteen Thirty Two|1632]]'' is a cheerful, friendly, outgoing high-school cheerleader. She is also the single most talented sniper in Europe, with an operational range few 'downtimers' are actually able to grasp. Julie was very upset the first time she killed a "beautiful" deer. Her first time in battle, she kills roughly a dozen soldiers and doesn't really think twice about it. Then again, the deer was cute and not actively trying to kill or rape her. 17th century mercenaries are a different story.
* Satin, the former whore and steward to Lord Commander Jon Snow of the Night's Watch, evolves into this (with a crossbow) during the attack on the King's Tower in [[A Song of Ice and Fire]].
* Anthony Swofford, the protagonist (and autobiographical author) of [[Jarhead]].
