"Galactic Soldiers Mocked at Earth’s Rifles—Until the Sniper Pulled the Trigger." | Best HFY Story

#hfy #shortstory #scifi
When Earth joins the Galactic Union, its soldiers—and their primitive kinetic weapons—become the butt of every joke. Galactic forces, armed with AI-driven plasma rifles and sensor-based targeting, dismiss human warfare as obsolete. But when an elite unit faces off against the cunning Karn Dominion on a hostile jungle planet, all their advanced tech fails. Only one man understands the battlefield: Staff Sergeant Malik Reyes, an old-school human sniper armed with a century-old bolt-action rifle. As alien soldiers fall one by one, Reyes proves that precision, patience, and human instinct can still rewrite the rules of war.
