255 confirmed kills: Meet Navy SEAL Chris Kyle... the deadliest sniper in US history. Served four tours of duty in Iraq, where he gained the nickname 'The Devil of Ramadi' from insurgents. Longest shot was a 2,100-yard strike against a man armed with a rocket launcher. Prefers a bolt-action .300 Winchester Magnum custom sniper rifle. Left the Navy after 10 years to 'save his marriage'
Chris Kyle hesitated the first time he killed a person at long range with a rifle. It was a woman who was about to attack a group of US Marines with a hand grenade.
The US Navy SEAL was overlooking an Iraqi town from a shabby building as US forces were still invading the country, before Saddam Hussein had been ousted. The Marines didn't see the woman coming.
'Take a shot,' Mr Kyle's chief told him.
Mr Kyle stammered: 'But...'
'Shoot!' the chief told him again.
He also punched out Jesse Ventura.
