- This hat is a reference to the Sniper's former life as a hunter of dangerous game.
- When painted the grey strip's color is changed to whichever color paint used. The rest of the hat's beige area remains the same.
- The hat description was written by G.I.R..
- This hat is also worn in the movie Jumanji by Hunter Van Pelt
