How many people has Sharpe killed?


I mean, seriously, Richard Sharpe's kill count in the books must be well into the thousands.

Really, if anyone has this information or has gone through every book and counted the number of lives lost to the remorseless killing machine that is Sharpe, post it, please.

I don't know how many he has killed. Do you really think he is remorseless? I think he kills because he has to more so than not. He may regret some killings less than others, but overall, I think he would not kill if he didn't have to. I wonder about the times he has had an opportunity to kill and then didn't.

OK, You have a point. To be fair to Sharpe, he rarely kills some one unless he has to. Replace "remorseless" with "habitual." And don't even try to tell me he's not a killing machine!

Thousands of people, not even kidding. How many did he kill in Sharpe's Tiger alone? Jesus!

How many people has anyone killed in a war? If you are firing a rifle or musket into the enemy, do you know where your bullets are going?

I remember asking my dad, who fought the Japanese, how many he had killed. I realise now that it is a stupid question and I'm glad he didn't tell me.
