The Jackal Executes The Hit of a LIFETIME | The Day Of The Jackal

[@WhatThisVideo-WTv]

For people thinking the bullet round should have alerted the guards with supersonic cracks, the bullet would have started at supersonic speed when fired but with the longer distance(which later told in the series that it was 4+ kms), the bullet would have lost the kinetic energy so much that its speed has reduced below supersonic speed hence no crack sound. For the impact sound look at 0:45, the guards are under the wall he shot at it later and protesters are really close, adjacent to the wall. So it is highly unlikely that any guard would have hear it.

[@christophersharron6967]

? I would expect the sound waves overlapping at the start of the bullet's trajectory (which would cause a supersonic crack) wouldn't be affected by the later part of its travels.

[@JoshuaMwendwa-rw7bc]

I loved his calm, cool demeanor.

[@braveworrier153]

The epitome of calm, cool and collected. The ending of ep1 (or 2?) where he's told FU by someone owing him €3.5m and his response is just a slight scoff....

[@RandomVideosFirst]

That first two test calibrated shots was so risky the spent rounds could of fell from the target and alerted the guards

[@cookiemonster9208]

I thought so too

[@psych46]

That's what I thought too, but then I realized, all those protestors are providing quite a bit of audio ambience with their shouting... it would be very unlikely for the guards to hear. The Jackal thought of everything!

[@cookiemonster9208]

@@psych46 Oh, that makes sense.

[@jleano609]

Correct - and more importantly the noise of the impacts would be fairly loud and would likely alert the guards.

[@Cobalt1520]

Also thats not how you calibrate… ridículous… he isnt aiming at nothing how does he now what to calibrate after that first shot?

[@nofishtoday]

How did this algorithm know I started watching this show last night? What else does it know??

I couldn’t stop watching it!! Be ready to Binge…I loved this series..Looking forward to Season 2

[@abrahamedelstein4806]

3:48 Fun fact, shooting a bullet through a seemingly flimsy obstacle such a blade of grass will send t wildly and unpredictably off course.

[@BrandenH-O051]

That greatly depends on many factors. Being that close to the muzzle, the curtain isn't going to change much.

[@abrahamedelstein4806]

@@BrandenH-O051 Yeah, No, there is that one factor and it would change the point of impact quite a lot over a large distance. There are plenty of factors that go into making an accurate shot, yes, and a thing that will throw it off, is a piece of fabric, especially that close to the muzzle. Trust me, this is not a hill you want to die on.

[@BrandenH-O051]

@abrahamedelstein4806 i actually went and read some forums after reading your comment because i didnt want to assume your intelligence. Many people talked about shooting through bushes and twigs and still staying on target, not with every shot, but they were able to complete 3 gun competitions while doing so. I've also even shot bb guns through leaves myself and still hit a bottle. A singular BLADE of grass will not impact a bullet. The weight of even a small .17 caliber bullet is far more than that of a blade of grass.

[@abrahamedelstein4806]

@ Very well, if this is the hill you choose, so be it. Shooting through bushes and twigs does not equate to hitting them and should be avoided because you're making the bullets trajectory UNPREDICTABLE, and this is why anecdotes of people hitting their target by chance means very little because there is clear evidence of contrary. And it's not just the weight of the intermediary medium that impacts the bullet, it's its tensile strength too, now sure, a blade of grass might actually be too light and weak to impact a bullet significantly but I wouldn't put my money on it but something like a twig or a curtain certainly will, and it's usually a lighter and faster bullet that is impacted more. Because there are in your own words, many factors that contribute to a shot, even the Coriolis effect, something doesn't even have to deflect a bullet, merely slowing down it's spin will have an effect. This all to say, a Sniper, not some action shooter or even hunter, would make sure not to shoot through a curtain.

[@BrandenH-O051]

@abrahamedelstein4806 you are making such a vague argument that it's not even worth trying. I literally said that some of the shots people made, as well the times I have, did not make contact with the target when shooting through foliage. Some did, some didnt. Shooting through twigs and bushes doesn't equat to hitting..... well, yeah, maybe twigs, but you will definitely be making an impact with some type of foliage shooting through most "bushes" Again, there are lots of factors like the density of said plant foliage. A 2in branch on an oak tree will very likey defelct most bullets. A single leaf from a maple tree, not at all. Unless you are shooting such a lightweight bullet at such a far distance that it wouldn't be effective at doing anything but make a hole in some paper All this to say something you could have said in a singular sentence..... wow, how very moot of you.

[@Tulipstardragons]

The film is well-made, but what’s truly unsettling is how it encourages us to empathize with the killer rather than the agent. It subtly sets priorities that nudge us toward accepting such behavior as normal, even mirroring it in real life. That’s the truly frightening aspect.

[@sym-e8m]

So true I was rooting for him to kill udc even though the udc guy was gonna lanuch river ,this show got me supporting the super rich

[@paolocoletti3424]

Although the series is only based off Frederick Forsyth's book character this is how it is written. And also how the original film was made.

[@carlrichards9333]

...it's not real, its just play

[@NotSure-s8m]

In many ways... he isn't much different from a scout sniper. Only difference is the client VS some politician

[@tiburc10]

Well, because the show is called "The Day of the Jackal" and not "the Agent"? I guess you haven't seen The Godfather, Goodfellas, Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Wolf of Wall Street, Scarface or anything like that ever. They all encourage us to empathize with bad guys.

[@BartSparrow123]

0:46 Definitely no one on the ground below that impact of a 250 gr .338 cal bullet at 2,500 fps into concrete heard or noticed it...

[@grss1982]

I know the scene depicted is fictional, but do people who shoot with scoped weapon really have both eyes opened when taking a shot? Or it's just a matter of preference? Also, I'm assuming those are subsonic rounds since people below where he made the calibration shots could not hear it?

[@Warrior1Spartan]

From what I understand, yes they do. That way, they can see through the scope as well as anything around them as well. And they probably were subsonic.

[@WestieRunner]

I'm not competitive any longer but used to shoot long range rifle for Great Britain. It is very common for rifle shots to keep both eyes open as closing the off eye increases the strain on the aiming eye and affects the diameter of the pupil which can have an impact on sight picture. Less important for target rifle shots like me, but much more important for soldiers is that it also allows you be more situationally aware. I kept both eyes open but had a "blinder" made of translucent plastic in front of my non-aiming eye. That said, I do know some very good rifle shots who close their off eye. If he's using something like a 338 Lapua Magnum then the bullets start out supersonic and are going to be subsonic by ~1800 yards give or take so they have been subsonic for a long time before they reach the target even having started out at something like 2780fps. He's also using what appears to be a moderator (silencer) on the rifle which will significantly cut down on the muzzle blast. The reality is that a big calibre like this will still make a hell of a bang even with a moderator.

[@slottyken]

He's too far away for the round to be heard and shooting from an enclosed area.

[@Tahir-C-14]

Best Series EVER. Cannot wait for season 2.

I am rewatching this series so many times till I feel like I can picture every moment with my eyes closed.❤❤❤

[@fuffoon]

And that's why dignitaries normally enter via the underground garage. It's not a new concept. Unless it is being run by the US secret service. Must write out secret service. They don't like being called the SS. But this is still a bad ass series.

[@RayR-y6d]

This series is great, the only thing that makes me upset is lead female agent with the fact all he hunches are so spot on she may as well be a damn psychic🔮😂

C'mon, she's got "black girl magic".

Experience Trump's methodology 🪤

[@martystrasinger3801]

Actually this is a work of fiction. No records being broken here.

[@RamachandranSrinivasan]

True, besides the plot becomes a moot point since entire machinery wants the UDC to be eliminated (including UDC himself lol) except comic MI6 agent and lone security guy and it makes no sense to pay $100 millions for this hit! LOL! Jackal this time shouldn’t feel cheated for not getting paid in full! $20 millions itself way too much for an easy hit! 😂

[@American54]

It’s just a movie.

[@paolocoletti3424]

The assination is always the (relatively) easier part. It's the getting away afterwards which is the real trick and that's what they were paying for. He even said it himself in the film at the original meet in the hide. But the offer was 10 mill initially. It's him who said he wanted 10x that to take it on. The value of anything is only ever it's worth to the customer. And they wanted him gone bad. Anyway the UDC hit was hardly a peice of cake. 2 miles out aboard a moving boat. But remember this is all fiction so who can ever say 😁

[@RamachandranSrinivasan]

@paolocoletti3424 You are correct absolutely, my point is that if the hit was an easy target (meaning getting agency's help and having insiders help from all corners) it could have been done with an ordinary hit man than super star sniper, at least for the UDC. Even the first target(this video) was a very very difficult one from the distance perspective, there were enough ground support. I liked the series and watched it twice. Looking forward to seeing the Season 2

Best show of 2024

[@ForeverContrarian]

Absofrickinglutely brilliant script, casting and sets. Literally, a re-watch kinda series! Eddie has John Wick technical skills and tremendously surgical plans to assassinate his targets. The inner story, is rather chilling. A man caught between the world of digressing into a dispassionate psychopath who likes money. A young father and loving husband, with a self-centered wife and infant child. His Achilles heel is he cares…… Set aside 10 hours, and you will never look back! Best series since Queens Gambit!

I was totally gripped by the series expecting it to end boringly like the previous two but was so please the Mi6 lady got killed she was unrealistic and predictable. So season 2 will be brilliant follow on .. paybacks

[@RamachandranSrinivasan]

This is called production dry run in the IT world! Just before the actual shot! Intriguing, 7 seconds move post triggering the gun needs to be well planned! Haven't seen this kind of mind-blowing scene in the recent years!

[@Cain-ph8pl]

❤ caballero,seductor y sublime.distiguido ante las masa irracionales.😘😘😘👍

[@rogercarbonell3696]

Nicely done but I wish they would use technical advisors. The rifle is fictional but he uses fairly large ammo meaning that it is unlikely to be sub-sonic considering the distance of the hit. The test shoots would have been very loud and warned the guards. Also aiming with both eyes open, why?

[@paolocoletti3424]

No the round would easily have to have been supersonic at nozzle for that distance. And the rifle did have a suppressor on it tho (for any good that would do) . But hell yes loud it would still have been for him for sure. But then it's only fiction and they always take a LOT of licence.

[@bishopwiththesi2984]

Best sniper, and good equipments

[@Rishabh-Dev]

Such a gripping screenplay

[@tomd6588]

So ridiculous.....so he shoots to sight in his rifle and demonstrates the distance by how long it takes for the bullet to get there....then shoots the guy apparently knowing where he'll be several seconds after he shoots

[@paolocoletti3424]

Well it is literally 'shooting into the future' with the bullets airtime of 6-7 seconds They even discuss it in the series on a number of occasions.

[@tiredoftorylies.2950]

It’s fiction, FFS.

[@StinkingBishop]

Sound of the gun firing is awful, straight from CoD.
