sniper shot
Long-range precision kill
A sniper shot is a long-range gunshot from a concealed position, typically requiring precision and patience.
The term extends to any action combining distance, accuracy, and surprise: a sniper shot in basketball is a sudden three-pointer from deep; in video games, it's a kill from across the map.
