Why Chinese Officers Were MORE AFRAID of 18 Canadians Than 10,000 Americans

Video Description

In 1952, 18 Canadian hunters deployed to Korea and achieved what military analysts still call "impossible" - 1,200 confirmed kills in just 6 months. Chinese commanders were so terrified, they banned daylight operations within 2km of Canadian positions. This is the untold story of Canada's deadliest sniper platoon: The Punchbowl Killers. Summer 1952. A volcanic crater in eastern Korea becomes the hunting ground for 18 men who weren't military snipers - they were wilderness guides, trappers, and big game hunters from the Canadian Rockies. Men who'd been shooting moose at 400 yards since childhood. Their mission: eliminate Chinese officers, artillery observers, and specialists. Their method: treat human targets like elk in the mountains. Their result: 1,200+ confirmed kills with an average of just 1.7 rounds per kill - a ratio that modern special forces still study today. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WAR: The Canadians left calling cards - Canadian pennies placed on high-value targets. Chinese soldiers developed superstitions. Officers refused to use binoculars. Radio operators whispered instead of speaking clearly. The psychological impact paralyzed an entire Chinese division. THE LEGEND: When 500 elite Chinese troops launched a night raid to eliminate the snipers, they found empty positions and cold fire pits. By dawn, 40 of their own officers were dead - killed during the chaos of their own attack. THE LEGACY: Chinese military instructors still teach about these snipers 70 years later. One instructor keeps a battered Canadian penny found on a general's body, telling students: "This is what separates hunting from warfare."
