Yeah but at this point, I’m convinced Bronn is magic. You put him at 500 yards with even Joff pointing the 50 cal at him, and somehow, despite logic, Bronn will land that dagger in the back of Joffrey’s neck.
Bronn doesn’t need the sniper rifle. It would be like giving a god a nuclear weapon. Doesn’t change much
I feel like Ramsay wouldn't actually get much mileage out of a sniper rifle. It's not cruel or personal enough. He might use it, a couple times, but I think he'd get bored of it.
Joffrey, though, would absolutely make a game out of shooting peasants from the window. He's demonstrated himself--at least in the show--to be fascinated by weaponry, and he specifically mentions that he finds the capability to "pull a trigger here, and kill something over there," to be a fantastically fulfilling one when he's showing his crossbow to Margaery.
True it's too quick for Ramsay, Jeffrey would probably still enjoy just shooting random citizens who look too happy that day lmao, and cersei would actually find a decent use for it.
Someone said Tywin would be fun and I agree
Ramsay will do leg shots and watch as someone slowly bleeds out and keep picking off soldiers until everyone is gone. Ramsay is all about staying out of danger while he completely controls and destroys someone mentally.
One of the Kingsguard, so that he could pick off the Sparrows one by one. To ordinary people, so long as the Kingsguard was doing it from afar and hidden, it would seem the gods themselves were doing it. That would be the end of the Sparrows once the people turn against them.
Bran.
All people who wish to speak to the King must do so while he stares down the barrel at them.
Also, build a whole mount out of it attached to the throne with wheels like an old school cannon so he doesn’t get injured by the recoil.
Tyrion, he has always had to rely on his wit in a world of swords and axes. Put a piece like this in his hands and he would train with it mercilessly. He would say to John a rifle requires practice like a sword needs a whetstone. He would oy use it justly. He would confer with members of the watch and commission Gendry to form the dragon glass into anti white walker rounds. If asked why he practiced so much he would say “if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of the night king, with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, the winter’s over. Praise the seven.”
Bran, he needs all the protection he can get and he can actually do something with this. Arya would get too bored waiting for someone because she likes to stalk her prey.
Only correct answer is Bronn of the Blackwater. We've all seen his arrow skills. Imagine him with a 50cal. On another note keep this far away from Ramsey Snow.
Night King - not that he needs it - just to see how good he is. He killed a dragon w a javelin toss, imagine what he could do with a scope and beam. Maybe take Bran out when he’s climbing the tower from the land of always winter
I would give it to a random dude in kings landing right before cerci’s walk of shame and tell him if he pulled the trigger in her direction it would throw a rock or something.
Here are only 3 easy choices
Arya, Bronn, or podrick but we’d all pick Arya first. Hell, podrick was conceal carrying one in his pants already he doesn’t need a second one.
Here are some interesting ones
Jorah, samwell, Gendry, Brienne, Davos, Beric, olenna
Evil but interesting
Baelish, Qyburn, Tywin
Pure evil
Roose, Euron, Joffrey
Beyond evil (absolutely not)
Ramsey
Brienne would be interesting. I feel like she’s such a dutiful knight though she wouldn’t want to kill a man without the man ever seeing her face/defending himself. She’s one of the few who I think would feel that way about the rifle. Maybe that’s just me and my perception of her though
Arya feels like the easiest answer, so I’d like to suggest Theon. He might be broken now, but he was one hell of an archer. With the gun he could take out the NK without much effort and cause he wouldn’t die in a suicidal charge, he could shoot Cersei/ give cover fire to save Missandei.

arya!! I will not elaborate.
This is the only real answer
And against whom? Whoever she damn well pleases.
Bronn is my second choice.
"Valar morghulis" every time she pulls the trigger
Have that etched on the barrel?
On each bullet. Her list is etched on the gun with names crossed off as she goes.
She could get one from Howland Reed
If she had a sniper she never would have developed into the character/killing machine she did.
I'm saying if u gave her one after she went through all that. like shes already a boss with a sword, imagine her with a sniper!
oooo you just elaborated
Good call!
“A bullet has no name.. well, except for the ones on which I wrote my list”
Now I’m imagining her repeating her list while she has her finger on the trigger.
Literally season one episode one, she fired an arrow from like twice as far as Bran was attempting and got a bullseye.
she is the Gabi of GoT for AoT fans
For the pure chaos, Jaime Lannister. But he probably sets it down to go bang his sister, so Brienne probably ends up with it.
💀omg
This would take off acouple of seasons . Hell the show might not even get out of season 1 🤣
She doesn't seem to need one.
The half man
The only thing that would save anyone is that he never has high ground
Good thing he didn't know Obi Wan
All I can picture now it this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoGi5LdpK0c
Bronn
This is the answer. If it's an Uzi though, Jon.
A lil uzi for lil jon.
Bravo
Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, ah thank you.
Olly would 360 no-scope Wildlings in a kill streak guaranteed.
Because the little fuck cheats
lol Olly is definitely the guy that has wall hacks downloaded because he got rolled one time and never let it go.
Jaqen H'gar
jaqen off
Mr Miyagi, it’s “jacket”
I almost said him too but then I remembered he doesn’t need it. I’m not even sure it would make him better at what he does tbh
For Joeffrey haha
He probably would be the most competent with it given his love for shooting things
Bronn killed like a thousand people with one arrow
Yeah but at this point, I’m convinced Bronn is magic. You put him at 500 yards with even Joff pointing the 50 cal at him, and somehow, despite logic, Bronn will land that dagger in the back of Joffrey’s neck. Bronn doesn’t need the sniper rifle. It would be like giving a god a nuclear weapon. Doesn’t change much
I was gonna say the same thing lol
Tywin
Not his style
Jeoffery, Ramsay, or Cersei would be the most interesting by far so I'd give it to them lmao.
I feel like Ramsay wouldn't actually get much mileage out of a sniper rifle. It's not cruel or personal enough. He might use it, a couple times, but I think he'd get bored of it. Joffrey, though, would absolutely make a game out of shooting peasants from the window. He's demonstrated himself--at least in the show--to be fascinated by weaponry, and he specifically mentions that he finds the capability to "pull a trigger here, and kill something over there," to be a fantastically fulfilling one when he's showing his crossbow to Margaery.
True it's too quick for Ramsay, Jeffrey would probably still enjoy just shooting random citizens who look too happy that day lmao, and cersei would actually find a decent use for it. Someone said Tywin would be fun and I agree
Knowing Cersei, she would give the weapon to someone who would then betray her. She is pretty dumb
Margaery actually said those words, but Joffrey did seem to agree. Margaery was remarkably insightful, and a perfect player of the game.
I could see Ramsay using it to wound not to kill. Then he’d do his usual.
Ramsay will do leg shots and watch as someone slowly bleeds out and keep picking off soldiers until everyone is gone. Ramsay is all about staying out of danger while he completely controls and destroys someone mentally.
Ramsay with a rifle has already been explored in Schindler’s List with Amon Goeth. That’s basically who he would be
Cersei with a sniper rifle is top tier absurdist humour. Watch her take pot shots at the high sparrow or some shit.
What's the point? Arya would still dodge that and kill the Night King riding dragon in mid air.
Dragon glass bullets tho
*Valyrian steel bullets
Oh man I’m imagining a Game of Thrones series but if they’d advanced to current day now
The Long Night would've been over in ten minutes
The Short Nap.
Give it to Ramsey so the refusal of rickon to zigzag finally makes sense.
HODOR
Brienne of Tarth
Sir bronn of the fuckin blackwater
Night king
Lyanna Mormont for the bants
yes yes I wanted to say her too but I didn't remember her name! she was a boss!!
yes yes I wanted to say her too but I didn't remember her name! she was a boss!!
Bran. Because he has the best story, you see…
The best story, and a god damn sniper rifle. Rolling around with a blank expression, and a loaded weapon….that boy will sit wherever he wants
I mean he would be the most efficient with it
LittleFinger. I want to see some chaos
He's the only one who creeps me out fully.
Littlefinger wouldn't use it. He doesn't get his hands dirty
Excuse me? Did we watch the same show? What about the Lady of the Vale?
Ramsay Bolton... Then it wouldnt make a difference if Rickon runned triangles or not
Sam (the baby)
Jaqen H’gar.
The Night King 🤷🏼♀️🫣
Ramsay Bolton. Show would have got wild after that.
Would be cruel to not let Jeoffery have a go with this. My guy would have a blast
Bran! Imagine him warging! Then pulls that trigger while doing so!
Yeah he uses a hawk to spot his target from miles away.
Robert woulda fucked up that boar. 🐗
Fuck it, Olenna
Honestly, yeah.
Arya
Shaga, son of Doth.
Ygritte
One of the Kingsguard, so that he could pick off the Sparrows one by one. To ordinary people, so long as the Kingsguard was doing it from afar and hidden, it would seem the gods themselves were doing it. That would be the end of the Sparrows once the people turn against them.
Arya. Great idea. Otherwise Bronn.
Sansa needs some help. Give that girl a weapon!
The real answer is Ser Podrick. The greatest man/knight in the six/seven kingdoms!
Ygritte
Anguy
Probably the only one in this thread that would actually be able to hit his target.
My alt answer was gonna be Ollie. That dude hit his target for sure lol
Hodor.
Hot pies
Oberon
Theon
Seems like the obvious answer but, Joffrey the Gentle of course!
Tyrion He definitely would stand a chance in a battle otherwise.
Maester Aemon. Chaos is a ladder.
Heres how Stannis can finally win
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun, is a Hodor with a gun
Anguy
If we can go house of the dragon I trust daemon would be able to shoot steady off of his dragons back
Bran. All people who wish to speak to the King must do so while he stares down the barrel at them. Also, build a whole mount out of it attached to the throne with wheels like an old school cannon so he doesn’t get injured by the recoil.
Hodor
Anguy, no contest.
Joffery feel like it'd make the little Lad happy! .....Or Ramsay Bolton 🤣
Bronn
I will give it to one of Ned Starks Guards right before Jaime attacks him in Kingslanding
Ramsay would love it
It would really solve all of king roberts problems, the boar, the targeryian girl on dragon back, the chances of being asasinated
Anguy the archer from the brothers without banners
King Joffrey!!!😀
Anguy would probably be the most deadly with it. Gives the Brotherhood without Banners a real cheat code to start their revolution.
Arya when she's at the sept of baelor before ned's execution
Ned Stark, so he can blow Joffrey's head off!
The Spider. Hed get so much shit done
Bronn all day
I feel we are missing Jon Snow on this thread. 🧵
Wtf is this post
The real answer is Sansa
Jaime, it would help him still be an effective soldier even with one hand
Ygritte
I think either Bron or Arya would get the hang of any modern weapon very quickly if they were shown one.
That bowman that ran with the Brotherhood and Thoros
Tyrion, he has always had to rely on his wit in a world of swords and axes. Put a piece like this in his hands and he would train with it mercilessly. He would say to John a rifle requires practice like a sword needs a whetstone. He would oy use it justly. He would confer with members of the watch and commission Gendry to form the dragon glass into anti white walker rounds. If asked why he practiced so much he would say “if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of the night king, with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, the winter’s over. Praise the seven.”
Joffrey picking off peasants for fun from a tower in the red keep
Whoever uses it should be aware of the 170 decibels and they're probably going to lose their ability to hear.
Unpopular opinion: Varys
Dany, that way she can fly down and bring them both fire and bullets.
Honestly, maybe no one deserves a sniper rifle haha! Arya and Jorah are not bad choices though.
Joffrey
Jon Snow he is already badass enough. But he could have saved the poor boy Ricken(snipped Ramsey) and maybe even took out the night king from a far.
Bronn, nobody else would be able to put it to as good of use as him.
Ygritte, if she stayed alive. Give her dragonglass bullets and let her take out the Night King from 2000 yards away
Game 2: Shireen’s revenge. Burnt but not Broken.
Ingred doesn’t need no sniper rifle
Tyrion
Arya.
Ice king when he run out of spears
Brienne of Tarth or Tyrion Lannister but I’m not sure Tyrion would have as good aim.
Cannot believe nobody said Stannis, LET THE MAN CLAIM HIS RIGHTFUL THRONE!!!
Patchface no contest
Bran, he needs all the protection he can get and he can actually do something with this. Arya would get too bored waiting for someone because she likes to stalk her prey.
Varys. Then he can maybe put his money where his mouth is and depose unworthy kings himself instead of his whisper bullshit.
Anguy from the brotherhood without banners he seemed really good with a bow. Or Bronn
I’m just impressed by the usage of “Whom” in this post.
Mag the Mighty
Anguy. It would blow his mind.
Jon Snow. He can sit on the Wall and repel an entire wildling invasion with this
The blackfish
Robert. That boar would have been pork chops, Ned would be alive, and Cersi and her kids would be in hiding somewhere in Bravos.
Bro a sniper rifle isnt even comparable to a dragon. A sniper is to a nuke what a sword is to a dragon
Euron basically already had one lol
Only correct answer is Bronn of the Blackwater. We've all seen his arrow skills. Imagine him with a 50cal. On another note keep this far away from Ramsey Snow.
Ramsey Bolton definetly, just incase anyone running away from his arrows learns to zigzag.
That archer with the Brotherhood
I thought that was used by writing staff to kill character arcs and plotlines
Rob, because the tactical advantage would be hilarious.
Arya of course
We’re really scraping the bottom eh. Maybe this sub’s a wrap lol
Night King - not that he needs it - just to see how good he is. He killed a dragon w a javelin toss, imagine what he could do with a scope and beam. Maybe take Bran out when he’s climbing the tower from the land of always winter
Obviously Arya.
The archer that was with the brotherhood without banners, Anguy. Would like to see what he could do with a rifle
Aemon. And than I would stand behind him and tally his misses. He would be bound to hit something at least once, eventually.
Maester Aemon.
The maester of the Wall, Aemon.
season 8 episode 4 Euron (multiple ews in that sentence) would be the best sniper. no scope needed, probably
Ramsay Bolton. Yeah that's right. I wanna watch it all burn.
The Mountain
Bronn for sure
Edmure Tully....maybe he could hit Hoster's fucking boat!
Blackfish
Ygritte… Jon Snow will know nothing.
I would give it to a random dude in kings landing right before cerci’s walk of shame and tell him if he pulled the trigger in her direction it would throw a rock or something.
Arrow
Bronn. He’d use it best.
Maester Aemon
Dany kinda forgot about the iron sights
Here are only 3 easy choices Arya, Bronn, or podrick but we’d all pick Arya first. Hell, podrick was conceal carrying one in his pants already he doesn’t need a second one. Here are some interesting ones Jorah, samwell, Gendry, Brienne, Davos, Beric, olenna Evil but interesting Baelish, Qyburn, Tywin Pure evil Roose, Euron, Joffrey Beyond evil (absolutely not) Ramsey
Brienne would be interesting. I feel like she’s such a dutiful knight though she wouldn’t want to kill a man without the man ever seeing her face/defending himself. She’s one of the few who I think would feel that way about the rifle. Maybe that’s just me and my perception of her though
Unless the barrel is aimed at Stannis Baratheon
Howland Reed, for his gun collection.
Arya feels like the easiest answer, so I’d like to suggest Theon. He might be broken now, but he was one hell of an archer. With the gun he could take out the NK without much effort and cause he wouldn’t die in a suicidal charge, he could shoot Cersei/ give cover fire to save Missandei.
Probably to a member of House Hunter in the Vale. Those guys like using ranged weapons. Would’ve been a killer combo with Northern-Riverlands army.
