Hathcock was called Long Trang by the NVA:"White Feather"[permanent dead link]
Carlos Hathcock (1942–99) Nicknamed the 'White Feather' for the feather he wore in his hatband, Carlos Hathcock is perhaps the most influential sniper of all time.
The Vietcong and the soldiers of the NVA called him Long Tr'ang—the "White Feather"—for the plume he stuck in his hat band.
Upon reaching the target area he discovered that his shot had gone through the scope of the sniper's rifle
Hathcock's bullet had gone through the cobra sniper's scope and entered his eye
Unfortunately for the guy behind the scope, Hathcock's shot was clean and true—perfectly passing through the glass scope
that's definitive, this bullet made it all the way through one of these scopes and in far enough to be a kill, that's a plausible myth
