AAA Developers have been LYING to you

In a lot of cases the "bullet" doesn't even come from the gun. It actually is tracked by the camera meaning you're shooting from your eyes, and the gun is just a prop on the screen.

Fun fact: when you die in a game, you respawn to your new location. This is simply not the case in real life.
Who knew…

Tarkov has the same. My friends were really confused when I angrily screamed “height over bore got me killed again” cause I aimed at his head at close range and hit him in the chest.

[Wolfepak]

With a red dot, you can adjust the dot down but won't be accurate that close, but if you need to aim that close... get better

csgo - hold my beer "shoots bullets from eyes"

We've officially reached a generation that isn't aware that Arma 3 literally came out a decade ago.

YouTubers when they find out video games aren’t real life:

[eliasujashvili]

that's when you get too close, that happens in every game

[AizaakThurston]

Wait until this guy realizes that in most games you shoot bullets out of your eyeballs and not the gun at all

[Nemesisxv]

That's why we call them "arcade shooters" and not "mil-sims"

[CarsonHolmes-nqcs]

Yeah. Because the scope is above the barrel and the barrel shoots the bullet, so unless your scope is aimed down slightly, then the bullet wont hit the place the scope is aimed at

So Dad _isn't_ coming back...he said he would.

I found out about this phenomenon years ago in TF2. The heavy actually shoots out of his eyes, so as long as you can see over whatever cover you're shooting from you'll hit your target. Even if the heavy's torso is entirely covered!

[bhabhutiji]

Exactly what I used to think as a kid, I used to draw a 2d gun with a sight on a page then used to draw the trajectory from the muzzle and used to think ''how tf does the bullet go where the reticle is when theres a 4 inch gap between the muzzle and the sight/scope?"

[ShivSingh-ioeh]

Honestly i thought everyone already knew this. Ever since I was younger I'd think, "hmm, shouldn't the bullet hit a bit below the point where the scope is pointed at, since the scope is above the barrel?"

[azurelion]

Wait until he learns about "hit-scan".

[The_Hirohiko_Araki]

I feel like I almost lost my brain cells since I knew a basic knowledge of a real life gun.

[JohnSmith-opgd]

Also, since the bullet flies in an arc, it will cross the red dot twice: as it's going up, and again, further away, as it's falling down.
So the point of impact may be:
-3" at 0 yds
0" at 20 yds
+5" at 100 yds
0" at 160 yds
-3" at 200 yds
-24" at 300 yds
-72" at 400 yds

Combat firearms are usually sighted so that at common ranges, you won't need to think about it much. Long-distance rifles are an exception to that, but it gets a little complicated to explain in a YT comment.

The real lie is that their product is worth $70
