History Main / SniperDuel

* Subverted in the Ukrainian film ''Film/SniperTheWhiteRaven:'' After establishing the sniping skills of our hero Raven and his Russian enemy Seryi, Seryi and his team are tracked down to a chemical factory. Raven's team snipe Seryi's team ... and Raven goes in with a silenced pistol to finish the job.

* Happens in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty: World At War,'' where you need to face off against a German sniper under the guidance of Sergeant Reznov, a former sniper who lost his index finger early in the siege of Stalingrad and couldn't do the shooting himself. The enemy sniper will use decoys to try and get you to waste shots, and can easily kill you if you aren't quick.

* Happens in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' during a Flashback to Saito's backstory. The snipers' aims are enhanced by ''satellite calibration''. [[spoiler: He lost to the Major, which is how he lost his eye and hand. [[DefeatMeansFriendship It's also how he started working for the Major.]]]]
** Saito has another sniper duel with a Southeast Asian mercenary named Raj Puhto in ''[[TheMovie Solid State Society.]]''

* ''Manga/{{Golgo 13}}'' has been in a few of these, which he often wins, being one of the most skilled and prolific sniper assassins in fiction.
* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' features a variation on this in Part 4. On one side is Jotaro and Josuke standing out in the open, with two Stands capable of launching bullets at lethal velocities with their fingers. Their deadly opponent threatening to melt them into blobs of flesh on the other side? [[ItMakesSenseInContext A small rat]], which also happens to be a Stand user whose Stand can shoot flesh-melting darts from afar. The conflict plays out much like a sniper duel anyway, due to the former trying to suss out the location of the latter, who has to avoid giving itself away.
* In ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'', during an early stage of TheSiege of Akira’s HomeBase in the slums, he surveys the surrounding territory from the rooftop. He notices several hostile agents surveying at the same time, giving him fearful or hateful reactions, until some start shooting at him at the edge of his rifle’s effective range. He dodges one of the bullets, and starts blowing off the heads of the scouts and opportunists. In the middle of this, Togami who’s visiting his gang, calls out to him for something, and Akira lightly replies that he’s testing out his new equipment, which makes Togami think he now realizes why so many people want Akira dead.

** A long, drawn out battle spanning three maps against The End in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', which eventually turns into a literal test of endurance, as The End will only use tranquilizer darts in the battle and refuses to kill you outright. The duel may be bypassed by sniping The End before it or waiting for him to die of old age.
** The battle against Crying Wolf (and her squad of [[EliteMooks FROGs]]) in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', although her being equipped with a railgun and a powered dog-suit ups the odds in her favour a little bit. An additional twist is provided by Crying Wolf's keen sense of smell, which puts the player at a disadvantage when attacking from upwind. [[spoiler:For bonus brownie points, the battle also takes place on the same snowfield as the second battle with Sniper Wolf in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.]]
