The first part of Private Ryan was very realistic, it then descended into the usual Hollywood rubbish. Snipers in real life are arrogant little prats. Why so many were taken prisoner is quite beyond me.

If you stay behind after the tide of battle has moved forward, and you continue to kill, then there is only one answer, No prisoner...EVER!

Having had a personal dual with one in front of Caen., I would not give him the ghost of a chance. But I never located him.
What does pay dividends, is to put a burst of Bren fire into any unusual shapes in trees and hedges. Just in case!
