It's no longer about recruiting personnel, but having the luxury to choose.
The era of offering generous sums and desperately begging for others to join has passed; now, Gao Guang can be selective.
"I need snipers and marksmen who can operate with us, outstanding marksmen," Gao Guang stated his requirements. Snipers were undoubtedly the talent he needed most, yet protective cover for his charges, assaults, and even those who could join him on assaults—the marksmen—seemed even rarer.
Snipers are difficult to train but easy to perfect, while marksmen are easy to train but hard to perfect.
Sometimes, the role of the sniper overlaps with that of the marksman, but most of the time, snipers and marksmen are quite different.
The simplest difference is that marksmen act with their squads, using semi-automatic sniper rifles or even fully automatic rifles, so in some ways, marksmen are just an upgraded version of infantrymen, with the upgrade being their shooting skills.
