ELI5: What is a "confirmed kill"? Is this a real military term or more a Hollywood myth?
gpt
It's real. The military keeps records of sniper kills, the range, the weapon used...etc. Traditionally it wasn't publicly discussed and was sort of a "don't talk about fight club" rule among snipers, but Hollywood has popularized the term.
