User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Season 4 Opener: Daniel Jackson vs Erwin König/@comment-4661256-20170201055359

König wins pretty easily. Jackson is a bit overrated as far as movie snipers go, although he's also probably a more realistic representation of the capabilities of a real American WWII sniper. The fact of the matter is, König fought during the Battle of Stalingrad, which was one of the deadliest battles of history  (and arguably  the  single most deadly battle), and he is specifically trained as a counter-sniper to take out Vasili Zaitsev. Yes, K önig failed in this ultimate mission, but only after killing a ton of Soviet soldiers (and, in the film, after pulling off some hyper-bullshit shots like sniping a dude jumping across a tiny gap who was visible for only a fraction of a second).

In contrast, Jackson frequently misses shots. He's also at a significant disadvantage because he's left-handed, which makes working the bolt on his rifle pretty difficult. He'll likely expose himself working that bolt because he'll have a hard time laying flat while he reaches over to chamber a new round. K önig suffers no such disadvantage. Jackson is also rather predictable as far as snipers go--he died because he occupied the rather obvious vantage point high up in a bell tower, which attracted attention as he picked off targets below.

Sidearms are next to pointless because these are trained snipers who will by and large rely on their primary weapons to kill their opponents. In addition, Jackson's only X-Factor advantage, teamwork, is absolutely worthless in a 1v1.

So basically K önig wins because he's a better sniper, has less physical disadvantages (i.e. being left-handed working a right-handed rifle, like Jackson), is less predictable (which is of paramount importance in a sniper duel where predicting one's opponent's location is key to victory), and has the advantages in X-Factors that actually matter in a 1v1.
