What is the difference between WWII Japanese cold gun tactics and traditional sniper tactics?

There is an essential difference between cold gun tactics and sniper tactics, from the point of view of the method of utilization of the two tactics, cold gun tactics belongs to a kind of clumsy desperation tactics, while sniper tactics is a kind of very clever movement tactics. In the Second World War period, the Soviet Union and Germany are a large number of sniper tactics, snipers can surprise attack the enemy, they are often able to kill a shot, much more efficient than ordinary soldiers to kill the enemy. In addition to the sniper tactics require snipers to kill with a single shot, but also require snipers to hide themselves, not as a last resort, must not expose their position.

The sniper will choose a relatively safe position while attacking the enemy, and unless attacking a specific important target, the sniper will never risk his life to shoot. Ace snipers can kill hundreds of people, in addition to their own marksmanship is more accurate, the most important point is that ace snipers are good at hiding. If a sniper doesn't know how to hide, and kills one or two enemies and then exposes his position, then this sniper definitely won't live long.

Cold-shot tactics are much simpler than sniper tactics, cold-shot tactics do not need to consider the problem of retreat, cold-shot soldiers only need to hide themselves, and then in the enemy close to the enemy will be killed by a shot even if it is successful. As the cold-shooting soldier to close to the enemy after shooting, as long as the cold-shooting soldier fired the first shot, the enemy basically will be able to lock the cold-shooting soldier's position, and finally the cold-shooting soldier shot to death. It can be said that the cold-shot tactics is basically one for one, due to the cold-shot people can not guarantee that the gun shot fatal, cold-shot tactics of battle losses must be less than 1 to 1.

Because the Japanese army has been advocating the training of marksmanship and spiking, the Japanese army is the World War II shooting accuracy of one of the highest troops, so the Japanese army was able to choose a lot of people together to implement the cold-shot tactics, to the U.S. forces caused a lot of killings. The main reason why the Japanese army did not use flexible sniping tactics and instead used clumsy cold-shot tactics was because the situation in the Pacific theater was different from that in the European theater, and Japan did not have the conditions to engage in sniping tactics with the U.S. army. The only way to achieve the largest kill is to take cold shots at close range and replace one person with another as much as possible.
