Consider if you would, Finlands Simo Hayha AKA "The White Death":
During the Soviet invasion of Finland, this for-crying-out-loud farmer killed enough Russians to justify:
- Creating a task force to eliminate him (killed 'em all, sorry).
- Creating a team of counter-snipers to hunt him down (nope, killed 'em all too)
- Carpet bombing the area (close call here, it did manage to damage his jacket)
- Finally, getting lucky and shooting him in the face with an explosive bullet (almost worked too. He was unconscious for about a week. Woke up the day the war ended.)
Over the course of 100 days, in -40 degree weather, he managed to kill 542 people with a bolt action rifle and another 150 with a sub-machine gun.
Let's break that down a bit. That works out to about 70 people daily. Assuming he got up at 6 and went to bed at 10, he would have killed 26 Soviet soldiers every day by lunchtime.
If I've handled my laundry by lunchtime, I feel like I've been super productive.
