12 Times Crosshair Proved He's the Best Sniper

[@TetsuShima]

I wonder how a sniper duel between Crosshair and Aurra Sing would be like. Probably as badass as the one at the climax of the film "Enemy at the Gates"

[@Ptaaruonn]

That movie was fire. I loved it so much!

[@arvidkoop6738]

I think crosshair would destroy her he’s genetically made for sniping and very well trained and experienced. She’s just very experienced and probably well trained

[@jonathanrobison9667]

Depends on the size of the snipper that each of them has and the type of medium they have to cut. Then you would have to compare the biology of each of them to see who could generate more force while closing their snippers not to mention their personal arts and crafts experience.

[@charleswade2514]

My buddy is a former US Army Ranger. During a war game his unit acted as insurgents. Their sniper took a shot down an M1 Abram’s. Said Abram’s had a paint round in barrel. Tank crew wasn’t happy because sniper hit round as loader put round in chamber. Paint goes everywhere.

[@michaelmoses8745]

Would that be enough to disable it?

[@robertagu5533]

​@@michaelmoses8745only if when it hits the shell it ALSO made it explode too.. which would only guarantee to take out the loader an maybe the gunner too, similar to a turret kill, as when your talking bout tanks, Especially The most advanced modern ones there's no guarantee even the most anti tank weapon will in just 1 shot usually

[@jrstoelting]

They don’t use paintball in war games.

[@donaldrussell9406]

That's fucking incredible marksmanship

[@jlokison]

​@@jrstoelting simmunitions, paint rounds, from pistol to artillery shells are used by the US army in some training, MILES gear is used more these days but not always. Risk of injury is higher with simmunitions and fully automatic weapons sometimes have feed issues with them, but they are a more accurate representation of live fire than MILES gear.

" And judging by Hunter's appearance, he hasn't come back from there just yet. " Niiiice. Rambo reference.

[@WolfeSaber]

Crosshair did use the rifle's recoil to line up his next shot, which I find amazing.

[@NicoTheTrapper7]

It’s one thing to be practiced in sniping of all guns, but predicting recoil? I mean, I’m a CS2 competitive player and let me tell you this for free, dealing with recoil is a. Nigh-impossible and b. life dependant. Nice one, Crosshair

[@UnswimmingFishYT]

Crosshair is basically like the result of dice rolls being applied to every shot, and he just rolls 20s forever. His hand problem was probably a decision made to nerf him so he wouldn't be unstoppable in a later difficult situation. My guess it that part of the finale has another place where perfect timing and accuracy would get him out, and he's not meant to succeed so he needed something written in to ensure his failing to hit a target makes sense.

[@NicoTheTrapper7]

To those who know D&D, it's like saying "roll, you need a 20, but you gain quadruple advantage and you get to re-roll". Every shot should be impossible, but he still manages.

[@UnswimmingFishYT]

@@NicoTheTrapper7 Pretty much

[@othervids3726]

You pretty much predicted 3x11, damn that was hard to watch

[@jebkerman5422]

On the other hand it made him hitting the binders in the final episode even more awsome, because at this point it wasn't actually super easy, barely an inconvince for him.

[@matthewcordone2246]

I gotta figure Crosshair's hand tremors are a side effect of them trying to turn him into one of those dark commandos

[@deadmeat8754]

_OR_ it's because he's suffered severe head trauma (witness the damage to his skull) and is exhibiting signs of neurological damage. Of course the chip didn't do any of the Clones any favors.

[@sodaman8888]

I originally thought from the first couple episodes that it was some nerve damage that was caused by a mix of the night spent on the snow planet, Hemlock's gas, and a result from the experiments he was exposed to. But then I though that it was just PTSD related.

[@Your_Local_Arbys]

Could be he actually is a CX trooper and when number 2 dies he will be actived. And he did it to his hand so he wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone

[@HamnerdGaming]

Yes I agree I believe he also could have ptsd from the torture that the empire did on him But I think it’s most likely PTSD but it Very well could be from being put through those dark commandos training or whatever

It would be interesting in the future episode we see Crosshair in a shootout against Fennec Shand

[@occam7382]

Now, THAT I have to see.

[@UnswimmingFishYT]

That wouldn't work. Shand would end up dead, and it would mess up her appearing later.

[@MrDibara]

​@@UnswimmingFishYT Given how he's developed trembling and his accuracy dropped dramatically, it's more likely that Fennec would kill Crosshair than the other way around. In his prime, Crosshair would've destroyed her, *but shit happens.*

[@UnswimmingFishYT]

@@MrDibara When comparing characters, the typical method is to take their best form. Shand's remained about the same and hasn't improved or gotten worse, and Crosshair's issue being placed very close to the end of the show he's from makes it a lot more reasonable to go by his unhindered form as he is through most of the story. The same standard is applied regularly with other characters. Nobody comparing Batman to other fighters tends to refer to the elderly Wayne in Batman Beyond, they refer to the younger Batman, and typically the rather OP comic version.

So in the mirror shot with the pistol, you can see that there mirrors around that he didn't shoot and the shot didn't bounce off of.

[@TomatoFettuccini]

13:16 Mythbusters actually did an episode on bullets traveling under water. Basically, no matter the calibre (including the mighty .50 cal), after about 4 feet of depth you're safe from 99% of all small-arms fire.

[@StingRayZzy2]

7:59 I think we're forgetting about how good his reaction time is and the quick math that is done in his mind. There would have to be so much precise math done -IN THE JUST A FEW SECONDS MIND YOU- to THROW those mirrors in the exact spot. Once he shoots, it hits EVERY. SINGLE. MIRROR. One stray shot and it's all ruined! Yet he manages to hit every time! Just like in season 2 episode 3 of The Bad Batch where Cody throws the disk, and Crosshair manages to shoot it, MID AIR, and disable FIVE DROIDS WITH ONE SHOT. LIKE WHAT-

[@funnature8679]

Anakin's form 5 of classical varient is used to deflect laser shots back at the target, he can sence the trajectory of the bullets and see it before touching his body, the rest is ignored when not hitting something vital.

I watched TBB before TCW, and for the longest time I wondered what the shaft sticking off Crosshair's pauldron was for.

Talking about bullets into a body of water. A lot of us are of the age we remember thr Mythbusters testing this.
