@Impact Shooting Why don’t you see if you can replicate the three melons shots with a .50BMG(I’m not sure why it’s referred to as a BMG because BMG stands for Browning Machine Gun and these are bolt action weapons)??? If you believe that you would need larger melons, use full sized watermelons. I can understand that the sizes of the melons used in the movie the Accountant would be difficult to see at a distance of 1 mile, but why should that make a difference to the ability to hit them with a .50???? Try the mantra from the movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson, “Aim Small, Miss Small”! By the way, I don’t remember if you did a reaction to or breakdown of “Quigley Down Under”! If you haven’t, you really should! Allan Rickman plays a great bad guy to Tom Selleck’s good guy!

[@januswestraat2104]

Rescue scene from “Act of Valor”, one of my favorite action scenes. The funny roll by Tom Cruise is how the range owner recognizes him.

[@johanswart8116]

Act of valour. One of my favourite movies.

Gonna be “that guy” and bring up Carlos Hathcock. I know the shoot through the scope scene seems like Hollywood fantasy, but he actually has a confirmed kill through an optic.

Wasn’t that with a scope on a .50 though? I think I have that scoped M2 pic somewhere!

[@noone3189]

Yes, and like mentioned on the video, it was a very cheap scope. Don't be "that guy" unless you want your correction to be properly corrected.

[@donbuchanan4958]

@@jasonkleschick2455 No the scoped .50 was used for the record breaking distance shot, the through scope shot was done with a Winchester Model 70 in 30.06 on the enemy sniper known as the Cobra who had been sent to take him out.

[@TierNoneOperator]

@@noone3189 so was the scope in Saving Private Ryan. In fact, I bet the scopes during WW2 would be even less likely to stop a bullet compared to Vietnam.

[@ValhallaTactical]

Fun math for the Gemini Man scene: I don't know what caliber he's shooting, but lets assume it's .308. At 1240m distance, the flight time would be about 2.6 seconds. At 238km/h, that train would've moved 172 meters between him pulling the trigger and bullet impact 2.6 seconds later. So, his windage adjustment to "lead" the train would have to be 138.62 MRAD... or 476 MOA. That couple turns on the turret ain't doing it. lol

[@longshot7601]

The distance could be calculated for the Accountant clip too. A mile in about a half second? 10,000 fps!?! That's railgun velocities. Not to mention that the recoil would put his shoulder into his pelvis.

[@TheLaimer]

And the math for the right timing to hit a head in this moving train! Length of the side silhouette of a human head or neck: about 20-30 cm TrainSpeed: 238 km/h 238 km/h = 66.1 m/s 0.3 m / 66.1 m/s = 0.0045 s So he had a time interval of about 4 thousands of a second to hit, IF he was aiming perfect at the right point.

[@Jesse-jp2bf]

He was trickshooting him duh. Thats pretty obvious. He wanted to do a 360 degree 10 time backflip highkick noscope but they didnt let him

[@kevinfox500]

So happy to see that I'm not the only lefty who manipulates a bolt action by moving my thumb, and running the bolt with my right hand. Being right handed, and left eye dominant, it just made sense, for a follow up shot. That technique helped me get a nice big horn sheep, In Colorado , back in 1997, when another friend, with the same hand/eye dominance, lowered off his shoulder, and his ram dropped off a 300 foot ledge. Love the series, and I am subscribing.

[@teddytactical1662]

In relation to the 50 mag jamming, I totally see that happening. They might have said blood, but they were in desert sand. Sand is a god damn nightmare to magazines man. I live in a desert and have to deal with that CONSTANTLY. Many a time have I dropped my mag on a reload drill and then had to clean it before being able to use it again. Sand particles are the best way to stop your follower from working properly. I feel that guys pain

[@davidj3841]

Not to kention how dirt and sand would stick to the blood. The blood would act like glue.

Ya with how the body falls back ot would make sense a bunch of sand was thrown around and while blood alone probably won't stop it sand or a sand blood mix would make much more sense

[@niclombardi1216]

Ive used the SASR while I was in the marine corps and I can tell you the jaming and not picking up the next round is completely accurate. They’re a great weapon system but its a military rifle and the SASR’s never got the same care and love as the m40’s. I had a fresh gun on a deck shoot no sand no nothing in the action repeatedly jam and not pick up the next round. So completely accurate in my opinion.

I'm a left handed shooter and when I was in Army Cadets shooting .22lr converted Enfields, shooting from prone running the bolt with my left hand while tilting the rifle to its left side with my support hand. its the most effective way to reload without disturbing the support arm. Standing, actually that is a really effective way (I find) for a lefty.it still keeps the rifle effectively pointed downrange in direction of the target.

the technical role is sometimes done by high power shooter utilizing the 1903 sling. You roll to the left to get a tight sling fit as you push the stock to your shoulder pocket with you right. Hard to do that push while laying prone. Once your left arm, sling, rifle, and right shoulder become "one" then you roll back to the right and build your position to get the natural point of aim and best position for your trigger contact etc. etc.

It's probably been mentioned a million times already, but in Saving Private Ryan, the rifle and scope changes to a completely and obviously different model at least once (M1903A4 with Lyman Alaskan to and M1903A1 with what looks like either a Unertl or a Lyman Super Targetspot, but with ahistorical fixed mounts (the scope used external adjustment in reality)).

[@dkroll92]

how you shoot is supposed to be determined by what your dominant eye is. Just like handedness, except eye dominance and handedness don't always coincide. For example, I'm complete right side dominant with everything except my eye, so I shoot long guns left handed and cant my head slightly when shooting handguns

[@GaryDoom]

It won’t jam the weapon lol.

[@SoFly2H2D]

For the saving private ryan clip, its a lefty shooting a right handed gun because thats all we made during that time period. Its much easier to use your dominant hand to pull the bolt back than you're support hand in that situation. He cannot pull the bolt back without moving his head out of the way, so he uses his support hand to push the stock of the gun into his body while his dominant hand pulls back the bolt. It makes more sense🤷🏻‍♂️

One thing that drives me crazy is the “enlarged eye” when the camera is looking through the front of the scope, back into the shooter. Because of how rifles scopes are made the eye would actually look smaller and further away.

[@daveperrego9261]

Not sure the “cruising” speed of the train in the scene from Gemini Man is, but I doubt his optic’s windage could account for it lol

[@Gruvy]

You wouldnt dial it in. In a moment like that where you need to shoot someone in a train you dont have time to dial because lets face it you’ll miss the first and probablly following shots. But for the sake of the argument, you would use a ‘christmas’ tree reticle or any reticle that caters to holdover.

[@Doc.Holiday]

Yea, Im left thinking, pure Hollywood. The deflection of the glass would keep you from closing the angle and without closing the angle it would be impossible to lead. Dial it in? I don’t think so, but I’m no sniper, just a realistic shooter. I don’t think the shot could be made even with a TrackingPoint rifle, let alone old school.

[@ValhallaTactical]

@@Gruvy Fun fact: based on Trijicon's spec on the TARS, even at only 3x magnification his field-of-view at that distance would only be approximately 155 meters (or 77.5 meters from scope's center to the edge of the image circle). The train would've moved WAY more than 77.5 meters during his bullet's flight time... meaning if he were to use Kentucky windage, his target will not even be within his scope when he pulled the trigger. So no Christmas tree styles reticles will ever be large enough to cover that kind of lead...

[@joshdunworth6075]

My grandfather was a DI prior to WWII he told few stories but did say that teaching lefties to reach over the top of the rifle was one of the more difficult things to do.

[@grghndy]

One movie that was brilliant for its time and so exciting was "The Day of the Jackal" (1973). Edwards Fox's Character has this facinating custom made rifle and the scene with him shooting at a Watermelon is something to see, But how realistic? This one wouild be a great one to analyse. Here is the link to the scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2G9qnturqeHmc0

[@musicface05]

Sometimes, you have to really rack that bolt back AND assist its movement forward to ensure that it chambers the next round. If you just rack it back and let the bolt go like a regular Semi-Auto, it won't quite catch, so what you get is an empty chamber and a hard pull. Blood or no blood, the rifle will chamber the next round, unless those top rounds collected pounds of dust and dirt while laying on the ground.

Tom cruise “rolling” into his position is actually something I was taught by a shooting instructor when I was on active duty. It’s not something that I continue to do because I didn’t find it useful for me, but it is designed to maintain a tight and consistent hold when shooting prone.

[@maverickpaladin4155]

This is a holdover tactic from I believe the old Camp Perry competitions before the use of optics. The military retained it because it was the way they'd always done it, but it comes from the era of aperture sights and tight, precise, almost tourniquet like use of slings. Today much of the same mechanics are accomplished via the use of shooting jackets.

IMO these are the best (or at least up there with the best) sniper movies because you see much more than just a guy shooting. You see the infil procedure, the setup, the camouflage, the movement and positionning, the exfil and all. Even some of the political stuff that comes with black ops.

With will smith and judging wind over that kind of distance, using a kestrel will only give a part of the sum. It cannot effectively judge wind direction or speed at distance and other factors and methods would also have to be employed such as mirage or smoke, tree movements and many other traditional methods of judging wind. Shooting at such distances can mean that there is a complete 180 degree shift in wind direction further down the range. All of this comes with a lot of practice and skill

even if there was some degree of smoke or dust resulting from the shot there is no way shooting through a woolen uniform creates a giant puff of smoke like that.

@@louiscypher4186 - I've seen a bit of combat...a body 'smokes' from dislodged DUST from .30-caliber (or larger) projectiles impacting it. Shoot someone in the middle east, in combat, and it looks like you're dusting a throw rug...if you wish to proof this, take a rug from your house, pour a bottle of talcum powder on it, hang it on the clothes line and at-range, shoot it. Then, you can apologize for assuming things you have no experience with. WWII Europe was COVERED with gypsum, crushed stone, dust, dirt, etc. - so for a soldier to be 'covered in dust when shot' had a high likelihood of happening.

The Jack Reacher of the novels has a famously distinctive shooting position. I imagine that Tom Cruise was simply playing the role of Reacher in a movie.

I was really looking forward to Jack Reacher! That opening scene was so enthralling with the reloading stages interspersed with the shooter getting into position. Edit: Also, another thing which is a little bit of a spoiler: The guy purposefully missing and putting a bullet into the slushy machine to leave the cops evidence is also a nice touch that you didn't cover, and I would like to hear your perspective on if an OTM bullet would have been irrecoverable from a body at that range and if it would have held up in a liquid backstop any better. I only ever really shoot FMJ and soft points, but I know guys that hunt and use OTM bullets for the extra weight. Usually they complain about the bullets coming apart on impact with heavy bodied game, so I'm curious what your perspective is.

Love this. Can you do a movie called The Wall. It's got john cena in it and is about a soldier stuck behind a thin wall by a sniper. Really basic idea but well done

Regarding the sniper in Saving Private Ryan and from a lefty who shoots right handed bolt actions it's... I wouldn't say easier but simpler to just use the left hand like he does in the scene. With practice it's just as fast plus the you aren't holding up the whole rifle from the wrong end of a lever. If you don't use the left to cycle you still have to move your thumb out of the way of the bolts action anyway

[@CalRizz]

@@julian23561 Got this from the Das_Edelweiss comment (sorry for copy pasting pal) I think there’s justification for “smoke” coming out of bodies when being shot at. One is that those German soldiers have probably been fighting for days and the dried mud and the ashes from the ruins from buildings built up in them and so when they were shot the bully’s literally shakes off the dirt and ashes from their bodies. Now I’ve seen go pro combat videos in Syria where they’re heavily fighting a city and when someone is shot dust kicks off from their bodies or dust kicks around them. I think this is due to them fighting and living inside areas that have lots of dust and ashes falling on their clothes. The reason why I like Saving Private Ryan is because the way how the soldiers are being shot and killed it looks extremely real and they’re not doing any exaggerated backflips or anything like you’ll usually see in video games, tv shows, films, etc.

[@70willard]

They don’t smoke when you shoot them 😂😂😂😂 loves that one

“Pro” shooter doesn’t mean anything when they’re shooting back as there is a huge and I can’t stress how much different target shooting is vs combat, trust me...

The scene from Saving Private Ryan is clearly an homage to Carlos Hathcock! He actually did shoot an enemy sniper through the scope body!
