Being a sniper and performing in infantry combat require far different skills and abilities. I have no doubt that women can be excellent snipers. They’d need much more physical strength, though, to just survive in an infantry combat environment.

Women can be great shots. Can they be great snipers? Its typically not much different then infantry from what I’ve seen.

Part of the practice of becoming a sniper is being in the infantry first.

Both in the Army and Marines, you get your infantry mos then you later become sniper qualified.
