Usage notes[edit]

Some use the terms krypskytt and prickskytt interchangeably. It is considered more appropriate to use krypskytt for snipers that act illicitly in order to poach, murder, or spread terror, and to instead use the word prickskytt for snipers that act legitimately within the military or law enforcement.
