Just change your weapon settings to "hit scan" instead of projectile in order to avoid problems with wind and gravity

“This is why ‘flat-earthers don’t make good snipers”, is an expression I didn’t expect to hear!

The timing of this video popping up in the feed is bizzare

In Conclusion:
Due to their small size and constant movement, heads are not considered a dependable target for snipers. Instead, snipers typically focus on aiming at objects that offer a higher probability of hitting.

“Dang its hot today, I wish I didn’t pull guard duty…”
The bush next to me: “buddy, you ain’t got it that bad.”

Funny that this would come into my feed this week

Stephen was an absolute professional. Takes a chest shot, hits the deck, got up, kept is wits, got cover, pointed out the sniper and then rendered aid to said sniper. As an ex-medic, he was right to help the sniper. However either he's a chill dude, or very well trained for him to act like he did. Good on him

I always remember to take the Coriolis effect into account when sniping

[skotskot]

the spotter is the guy who does the research and makes the entire presentation while the sniper is the guy who presents it in front of the class

This time YouTube algorithm was a bit late to bring up this video👀

- Private Johnson!
- Yes, sir!
- Didn't see you on the sniper stalking train session this morning!
- Thank you sir!

Years ago, a friend had an unusually large head. He hated it when I called him 'Snipers dream.'

"This is why flat-earthers don't make good snipers." "And no, they don't buy all their supplies and clothing at Target." Love it.

The coriolis effect is minimal for the normal ranges used by snipers, but it does affect artillery, which fires up to ten times that range, normally

Best sniper I've ever seen was a lady who'd come to the range after her classes on Fridays. She could hit just about any shot I'd give her, and spotted for herself. Why was she so good? She was a student studying for a PhD in physics, after returning from a tour in Afghanistan. She could do almost all of the required math in her head. It became a game of sorts for the range staff to give her the most challenging shots we could.

Military snipers don‘t go for heads as well because a dead soldier means one less enemy to fight. An injured soldier means at least one or two of his comrades will likely help him, thus cutting three men from the fight

[MarkSir]

Not just snipers, Everyone would avoid headshots! Who wanna be shot in the head? That's painful!

12:12 "The snipers don't buy all their supplies and clothes from *_Target_* ." Ohh I see what you did there! 😉😂

It is remarkable that Tschiderer stayed true to his role as a medic. The difference between a soldier and a murderer is this basic respect to any human, friend, foe or civilian.
