Irving often had to give warning shots per his protocol, which consisted of first shining a laser at the target, then shooting close enough that they could hear the bullet, and finally taking the deadly shot if the target continued their actions. However, only two targets out of all those he dealt with backed off after the initial warning, having understood the implications. Irving noted his advantage due to superior technology, such as night vision and infrared, that often left the enemy unaware of his presence. When asked to respond to being labeled a "murderer" or "psychopath," Irving acknowledged the accusations but distinguished his role by acting under orders with a certain compassion and morality. Despite this, he admits that the choice to become a sniper is not a decision taken lightly or by many. Interview by: Shawn Prez Check out his youtube channel at:    / powermovemakers
