Today I got my highest score, 40 kills and 14 deaths but i guess it's because I use the gewehr 95 to engage in combat more often.

As a sniper this video was pretty accurate. Now to dispel myths... 1. Snipers do not shit or pee their pants. I've never done that or have known anyone to do that in the modern world of combat. I've have been on long stalks crawling for hours and have never had the need to shit my pants. 2. Surveillance Target Acquisition is the technical term most commonly referred to as (STA). 3. Many snipers in todays theaters work in squads. You have a shooter and spotter (typically most senior shooters) and other snipers (typically juniors) who provide security, set up claymores etc... in order to ensure ambushes do not happen. 4. The ghillie suit is cool looking but annoying AF and ichy. 5. Yes snipers on video games do not present an accurate representation. Sniper rifles are heavy, no such thing as quick scoping, jump shots or drop shots. 6. Lastly the video is right when it said the spotter is the most experienced. They have the hardest job and is control of the shooter. The shooter does everything the spotter tells him to do. Good video

[@matthewsmiley3630]

Which is absolutely insane when you think about it. It took a couple shots to line it up, but regardless, in a combat situation where he couldn’t take all day to just send random shots down range and hope they hit, it’s amazing

[@saunderss25]

They aim for the body in real life not all headshots like in games and movies.

[@GraysonMckernan]

Jack Is Back don't know if they still do or not, but they are trained to aim for the head when it's a general or highly ranked officer. If it's too risky then then they will aim for the body.

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

indeed....chest

In real life they aim where they are most certain the bullet will hit and cause maximum effect. There is no one spot to shoot.

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

yes...you take what you can with a maximum efficiency

[@ajdnitro123]

Most shots are placed center mass, due to it being the largest area, but if they need to eliminate a target and not just incapacitate, they'll aim for something called the "t" box on the head which guarantees death.

Even better to go out and do it. Log books, range cards. you Log EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........barometric pressure and temp and even temp of your ammo. Buy a laser infrared temp tool. Less than $100 Establish base line fps for your ammo. Measure you rounds OAL and separate them in groups of matching or close OAL> (over all length). Literally learn to shooting between heartbeats. I shot a .33" best group my first time EVER shooting a Savage 110 I had accurized. I had enough data (massive amount JUST for my baseline) recorded to take a cold shot out to 800 yards with >308 Federal Gold Medal Match See my channel for details and target confirmation.

[@Toheineman]

another fact: sniper are not aiming for the head, because the cest is a much bigger target than the head and a direct hit at the cest ist deadly as a headshot

[@fallvegas]

And even if it isn't an immediate kill you're still fucked.

[@13thmistral]

Not as deadly, but indeed, being hit by a rifle round in your chest will put the target down and the target is likely to die by bleeding out afterwards anyhow.

[@Rikkis309]

Also if the chest shot does not kill the target, it will cause 1 or 2 guys more to evacuate the target, thus effectivily removing more than one with one shot.

[@Bayan1905]

The greatest sniper who ever lived, Simo Hayha who had 505 confirmed kills for Finland during the Winter War in under 100 days with a Mosin M/28-30 rifle, oh, and it never had a scope on it, all of his kills were performed with open sights. The scopes of that time would fog up in the cold and Simo said having a scope meant he had to pick his head up more, exposing himself to the enemy. What Simo was though, was an expert hunter, even after he was badly wounded and after the war.

[@SuperSneakySniper]

Number 1 is actually a common misconception. You see, we snipers do occasionally come out of hiding during the spring to mate and search for food after a long winter hibernation. Often times you may hear our mating calls coming from the hills. The call is a combination of rustling branches and erotic groans we make when we are in heat. Sometimes finding a mate can be challenging, and since we mate for life, we sometimes specify our calls to preferable individuals by using pick-up lines. My personal pickup line goes thusly: "Hey babe, are you a handload? Because I'm gunna shove you against the lands and put a hot charge behind ya." Another personal favorite: "Hey babe, are you a Timney Trigger? Cuz you just set me off unintentionally." Number 5 is also not quite accurate (no pun intended). You see, Spotters are actually just young Snipers that aren't quite fully grown. Being the maternally caring species we are, snipers often care for their young spotter until he/she becomes of age. Once the young spotter has grown to become a sexually mature sniper, he/she is ready to receive his/her rifle. Rifle reception is a very important moment in a young sniper's life. If lucky, the young sniper will receive a good rifle, like the new M2010's that the US army has adopted, or an Accuracy International AXMC rifle, or perhaps Barret's M107, or maybe even a Mausingfield Custom chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor and paired with a KRG Habu Chassis. I myself would very much have liked a Sako M10. If the young sniper is unlucky... well... he or she may wind up with an old rusty Remington 700 with a replacement bolt that hasn't been properly headspaced. Or worse, a Savage rifle..... *shivers*. However, most snipers like myself have landed somewhere inbetween. Many of us walking around with Tikka T3x Semi-Customs, Trued Remington 700s, Ruger Precision Rifles, maybe the occasional Mossberg MVP. The important thing to remember is, we are mammals just like you, and should be treated with the respect and understanding we deserve. Thank you for your time.

[@jonwench]

Let it be known that in regards to #3 the current record is held by a Canadian. A sniper with Canada's elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,540 metres.

[@jonwench]

Canada, fuck yeah!

[@fhjdghcfhc1936]

Jon Wen I want to correct both you and watch mojo, it's the longest shot know to the public. With how many special forces there are, it would not surprise me if there have been longer shots that the public doesn't know about

[@fhjdghcfhc1936]

KFC Warrior you're right, I do know fuck all, that's why I said what I said. With how often I and everyone else doesn't know, all I'm saying is anyone says "it's the best" or "it's the longest" they should put "that civilians know about" because with militaries around the world you never know.

[@BRi180000]

another cool fact is that a sniper is trained to stay still and awake in one location for 72 hours with complete focus.

[@clifflee54]

Brian Shneydman just is fine hiding in a bush and there's another sniper hiding form a distance. U guys just sit there waiting for one to move

[@Ricepudding69]

Brian Shneydman Damn are you serious?

[@nachocheez9690]

Brian Shneydman Pretty cool

[@calebsanders4353]

Luigi O Yeea Yeah. They say they'll even piss them self so they don't give away their location. Also when they shoot they slow their breathing to a very slow pace and are trained to shoot in between heart beats

[@sarahsayshello9726]

Caleb Sanders aye exactly slowing breath not stopping it that always pisses me off in games where it's like stop breathing for like 7 seconds then horrible scope wobble. so unrealistic I've never once held my breath behind a scope but always slowed. besides who can only hold there breath for 7 seconds? personally my best is 2 minutes and 17 seconds. granted that's just standing there doing nothing so while doing something I'm sure that time would be shorter

[@rifasmohamedniyasudeen5227]

often they also need to be able to see long range meaning they need good visuals, as well as they should be able to hold breath for steady shots, something i picked up from video games

[@dannny3g]

Vision details & patience, hold, fire! Move.

[@atlas3565]

Honorable Mention: Faze stopped sniping to make vlogs

[@salmanazam9444]

What I think is so badass about snipers is how much influence they have or can have, psychologically, over enemy personnel...

[@anonymousman9847]

Thanks you mojo

[@unstablerupture6983]

I live out in the sticks somewhere in Britain, near a foresty place full of deer. And there is this guy who was a sniper in the army who is now payed to cull the deer so they don't overpopulate and cause problems. But he isn't a jerk so he uses a silencer so as not to scare the deer and he also uses a type of exploding bullets that shrapnel on impact to ensure the deer is most definitely put out of it's misery. And he never misses.

[@beverlywilliams8458]

Ben Pulham your lying using explosive rounds will completely obliterate the deer rendering it inadequate for human consumption he should be using a smaller round like a 3.06 or 3.08

[@unstablerupture6983]

I didn't say what round he was using and I don't think people eat them when he kills them. Read my commentl properly

[@volkov6460]

Good video

[@denseaf1582]

I'm surprised the video didn't talk about Simo Hayha, the deadliest sniper in history. He had over 500 confirmed kills, sniped without a scope, in the freezing cold, survived artillery strikes and anti-snipers directed at him, and recovered after an exploding bullet blew off part of his face.

[@snowman202]

#1 Simo Häyhä was the best sniper

[@maxfi878]

Wizard Of Finland perkele

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

Wizard Of Finland And still they don't mention him. What a shame.

[@ohlawd3699]

Agreed.

[@bobthebuilder7620]

Simo the best sniper ever, with a round 500 kills and the sniper he use didnt have a scope lol bad ass

[@snowman202]

Peter C over 500 kills in 90 days and in Finland there was over -40 celsius almost everyday. He didnt use a scope and he took a sniper shot in the face and survived waking up from a come on the same day that the winter war of Finland ended I bet ya that brittish guy would be so cold in Finland that he could not even hit a deer at 30ft
