I'm beginning to realise that being a sniper is like 95% mathematics and 5% shooting

[DCBPTheGoat]

I could never be a sniper. By the time I'm done with the math, the enemies would have been long gone.

[izzycrybaby]

As soon as he started talking about the earth's rotation affecting the flight of the bullet I knew I would only ever be a sniper in FPS games 😂😂

[ktgklbc]

33 kills and didn't even use his nuke killstreak, this man has class.

[sikckaputten]

"Johnson! I didn't see you at camouflage training today!"
"Thank you, sir."

[satoru]

Sniping in Video Games: beng beng

Sniping in real life: Physics class

[dannytay]

Bruh when he did the quick math, I was like, “I’m a failure.”

[acting]

This guy is actually so cool. The way he explains the methods and the tools used makes it easy to understand. Also the way he did that math so fast was beyond impressive.

[brianfosterkinsale]

Me: wow this scene looks so realistic
Him: this is completely unrealistic
Me: this is completely unrealistic

[thischinksays]

Someone in math class: When is math ever going to be useful in real life?

The reaper: When I'm sniping.

[JBarrett]

Sniper: *get out book with recorded shots of wind, elevation etc*
High Guy: “man that’s dope”
Sniper: “exactly”

[STEVE_C_]

As a retired Marine (nothing else need be said), I grew sick of all the posers in YouTube talking smack as if they were pros on certain military fields.
THIS man knows his $hit.
Thank you brother for doing a great job in this video.

[superchargedpetrolhead]

never mess with someone who can shoot you down from a different postal code.

[DrJxke]

Me: That shot didn’t look so good.

Him: That is perfect, exactly what I would do

Me: brilliant, amazing shot

[elitechampionjosh]

My guy just did math in his head and without using fingers. This dude for president

[pdoylemi]

The most amazing sniper operation I ever heard of was shown in "Captain Phillips". I still can't believe it was possible. 3 SEAL snipers on the fantail of a ship (moving in the waves) zeroing in on three targets they could only see by infrared, in a little, bobbing lifeboat, and they all fire together and eliminate all three targets.

[aujun]

Me: I want to be a sniper.
Him: Talking bout mathematic.
Me: Well, security guard more suit to me.

[agamenticus_]

“They could be sleeping in your attic and you would never even know it”

Guess that makes me special operations

[alexcusma]

The fact that he notices the woman’s hair blowing in the wind and figures the MPH tells you the man knows his job.
The fact that his nickname is the reaper. EPIC!

[qmwlryn]

What really impressed me was the tremendous attention to detail that snipers have to have
