RFV-failed

One Shot Paddy
I think we should keep this, if attestable. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:50, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I went looking for evidence that this doesn't exist (backward arguement, I know), but surprisingly there is some coverage. There is one pro-IRA song that mentions the term in the context of long-range sniping but does not name the rifles, and another mention on a rifle website that specifically mentions the Irish conflict.--Dmol 00:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

One shot paddy was not a sniper rifle one shot paddy was a nickname given to Michael Caraher an PIRA sniper team in south Armagh for his effectiveness yes he used the Barrett M82 and M90 but the name has nothing to do with the rifles other nicknames included Goldfinger and the Terminator and the old road sign that read SNIPER AT WORK
