Gun Control
No one was shot in the making of this video.
Hitting your target. Now that's gun control.

Yow!

Just sayin'...

Yannow Nigel, it funny how a seeing a thing like that makes you think about how useful Plum would be around lots of people. I could write a list.
That was an amazing shot.

BZ! Not just for the shot, but for the cohones to give the order for it ... a rare display of courage and leadership in our world today.

I second the motion to put Nasrallah's lights out. Shooting him would be much easier than surviving afterward.
For people not familiar with rifle accuracy, the shot is not hard. The shooter is not over 100 yards off and shooting off a Harris bipod, probably with a .308, which is an accurate round. On a good day I can put 5 shots in a 1/2" group at 100 yards with my .308. Police snipers rarely shoot past 200 yards. Loosing rifle fire in a city is really dangerous, as the rounds will penetrate much more than a pistol and carry much further.
Did anyone notice what was behind the nutjob? There is a backstop for the rifleshot; that is why the sniper was allowed to fire. Otherwise the bullet would have gone screaming off and possibly whack some innocent a mile away.

Hm, maybe I'll quit deer hunting and just pay this guy to hunt for me.

well. seeing how your last hunting trip went Vinnie, that might not be a bad idea.
heh.

Yannow Mark, good point.
I didn't focus in on the background, I was watching the guy and not what was behind him.

Hey Mark...that was a terrific analysis...even though I didn't understand most of it.
But as far as taking out Nasrallah...if there wasn't a "backstop", would it still be OK? Especially if a few more Hezbollah morons got taken out?

Classic video, good to see it again.

Nigel, I would lay a 2000# bomb on a crowd of "civillians" to nail Nasrallah. It would make a great statement about being anywhere near the murdering shit. Military sniping is a lot different than police sniping. Basically backstop be damned, just watch out for friendlies. I would be happy to explain any technical issues.
