  • that's probably swagger

  • Not a crazed gunman dad.

  • What was Cut out of segment was the Sniper spent 20 minutes running on a tread mill to increase his heartrate before each Shot then put in the Plexi Case. Ammo was Frangible and shot was indoors because it was less expensive to shoot on a Set in city limits than take everything out to a Range. Also cut out was the fact that he was able to Stop his heartbeat for one beat, shoot, and recover. Creating and Controlling a Heart murmer was how he did it. He had bugs under his Glasses during the shot.

  • "his name is really mike" lol

  • Bada** Marines. This is coming from an army guy

  • army snipers ftw

  • this is how i fell asleep...:)))

  • Remington 700 short bull barrel

  • 0:30 His pupil size changes so fast o.O

  • This video went viral on Fiji

  • News reporter:Hello, how are you?

    Marine sniper:Hi(shoots someone) just fine.

    Reporter:What do you feel when you shoot someone, take their life, end the days on earth...KILL THEM?

    Sniper:Egh(shrugs)...recoil.

  • he missed the target. The target is the + sign

  • Youtube and internet.. where everyone are professional snipers..

  • His name is really mike

  • The shot hit low because they were shooting at 100 feet. Most rifle scopes are zero at 100 yards

  • HARDSCOPE!!! lol

  • its easier to shoot at 300m with range data than it is to at 100ft with no range data and having to make up an estimated zero on the spot...

  • i think the military will be replacing this sniper after this lol

  • WTF it's 100 fucking feet....

  • ONE SHOT ONE KILL ll --> 1000 XP

  • nICE.

  • what did he sayy balacalava

    

  • i can't believe one of the guys who works at my local kohl's used to be a marine scout sniper. dead serious about that too. such a chill person.

  • @theNICAguy from what i've read, all the really elite special forces guys become low - key and unassuming when they retire or when they're in the civilian world; you could never guess what they really do for a living. It's kind of astonishing, really, to think the guy standing in front you in the grocery store line could have been the guy who offed Osama.

  • @TRZbebop675 Most be kinda cool to able to think, yeah boy I can kill you 5 times before you hit the ground and I CAN do that! :-)

  • @TRZbebop675 even crazier that it's definitely already happened to someone out there, grocery stores considered.

  • badass I like his mask

  • @RyanKHS06 You act like a fucking child. Grow the fuck up. I never said Battlefield was bad or that everybody has to like CoD. I just tried to insight a small and friendly conversation by giving you my opinion on both of these games and you just had to loose your shit didn't you? Fucking Youtube anti-socials.

  • @RyanKHS06 You need t ask my age? Already sounds like you don't have anything productive to do and that you're only here to argue. BTW, I'm 28. You've got some growing up to do.

  • @RyanKHS06 Call of Duty is way better than Battlefield. People always talk about how Battlefield is much more realistic. That's not the reason I play though. If I wanted realism, I'd join the military. I play because it's fun, and the hours of waiting to snipe someone in Battlefield are no fun. CoD FTW!

  • Yeah this dude has killed people.

  • That guy is dangerous. You guys see that, right in between heartbeats, jesus. Only the military can train you like this.

  • sniper kill to end war that true

    have you ever heard WW2 2 british commandos disguised as waffen SS sent ti kill hitler but they were told to abort because Hitler would cause the downfall of Germany much quicker than they would by killing him

  • The experiment was not to gauge how well the sniper could shoot at any distance. The experiment was to determine whether what is claimed by snipers is not a myth; namely, the ability to actually lower their breathing and actually fire the shot between heartbeats.

  • also they didnt show when they put bugs in there or snow/ice

  • i wish they did this outside because they then could have done it from a further distance with him facing the wind to not just under these things

  • whos the dumbass that volunteers to point the camera towards the gun

  • Killing someone to stop a war ? Ahahaha , I find it a joke ... although I understand that most people will eat every shit if "they" say it's fillet mignon !

  • Its not very smart for camera to go in front of sniper haha

  • 28 people can't keep still enough to wait for a shot.

  • is that a shorter barrel m700p ??

  • You cant be a sniper if you're not canper

  • One shot one kill... End a war before it even starts! Awesome !

  • @SuperZkym Hey dude , I was just talking about you ...

  • @RyanKHS06 Agreed i mean stop comparing real life from a video game i do come from a miltary family

  • @whereswaldo22 Families won't send their loved ones to a mine field ... it's more of an enterprise nowadays !

  • What's the big deal about shooting between heart beats? I am new to precision shooting and am able to shoot between beats just by seeing my pulse rate through my reticle as it moves it left to right after each beat..

  • 1 word..... camper

  • this is so fuckin gay

  • @nickm664688

    Oh, what's up Mr. Gay? Your first time on the internet?

  • which episode was this

  • @RyanKHS06 Too Right mate. I come from a family of Marines and when I play CoD....It makes me want to burn down a day care center (<- JK) I love battlefield. It has the bullet drop and other graet add-ons, whats not to love? Shame they only put the M95 in that game tho. I would Love to see The M82.

  • are you telling me that IM THE ONLY ONE THAT SAW HIS EYES CHANGE IN SIZE @

    0:31

  • @RyanKHS06 I love you

  • i dont want to be in his sigts

  • Meditation baby.

  • @RyanKHS06 Don't mind them, they're mostly ignorant and 12 year old kids.

  • you know im glad these kids think they know what thair talking about cuz when the zombie apocolipse realy comes real gun owners and millitary vets can survive off of killin all of these call of duty retards

  • mmm im no tok with u.s showing their fighting techniques to the rest of the world. simply, because other ocuntries could copy them and use them against us...

  • @RyanKHS06 I feel so much safer! I love all the men and women who joins military for whatever reasons might be. Fuck yea America!

  • @RyanKHS06 you know the people who joins military is for college purposes right?

  • The shot was actually low AND right. That was at 100 feet. A sniper should be able to cut the "x" at 100 YARDS. 100 feet is just 33.3 yards. And from the prone position? Come on man. Cut the "x'.

  • @tntkop he is doing under extreme heat

  • Really with all the Call of Duty comments? I also play video games, but when I watch videos like this Call of Duty never crosses my mind and I actually know my facts about snipers and firearms/weapons and why would he be using the M24 since he is a Marine Scout Sniper and there bolt action sniper rifle of choice is the M40.

    Hes probably a better shot than that and maybe he overcompensated since they generally zero their rifles in at 100 YARDS and not 100ft. so you need to aim low at short range

  • the moustache....nuff said

  • Finallly a video that explains it so i dont have to :) god i get sick and tired of telling people....

  • not impressive at all for 100 feet

  • Perk 3: Ninja

  • Perk 2: Steady Hands

  • shooting between heartbeats is rediculous. Im amazed the military is worried about a technique like that. Worry about your target, trigger, breathing.

    Not only that he missed the X mark at 33 yards, which prooves human error is more of an issue than heart beat, and taking shots relative to heart beats rather than the window of opportunity you have to take that first most important shot is just rediculous, notice the pause between the command to fire and the actual shot.

  • These shows always seem too seneational. Analyzing the effects of war under lab conditions is not a fair representation. This kind of media only seems to further confuse and blur the line between reality and the vitual certainty some enjoy.

    No lab can replicate the fog of war.

  • @RyanKHS06 Yeah It Is.. QUICKSCOPE FOR THE WIN

  • @10128222 usually snipers work in twos as the sideman can help him line up the shot I believe. I think that might of been a problem only taking a shot by himself. I'm not totally sure though.

  • "The shot is dead on".

    From only 100 feet away the shot should have been right on the mark.

  • @10128222 Well not only what FitHope said but you have to realize it it 130 degrees in there and he was in the coffin for 20 minutes. It not only affects the shooter but it also affects the terminal ballistics of the 7.62 round he is firing.

  • @10128222 scope is above muzzle. point of aim was most likely right on the money and the round impacted just below, they probably didn't zero it for 100' exactly. (I was thinking the same thing when I saw it impact low though)

  • Yes, because being shot in the nose instead of between the eyes is going to make a big difference...

  • @AirRavers723 Actually, it makes a very large difference. Shooting someone near the bridge of their nose severs the brain stem, making all involuntary contractions nonexistent. However, snipers are trained to shoot center mass, not head.

  • @10128222

    according to your post ,you can do it better i guess huh ?

  • @Hoschi0913

    yea....at 30yds you can keyhole all your rounds, especially off a bipod

  • @10128222

    true but the marine sniper could of done if from far away and in combat conditions

    either way he is total badass

  • @10128222

    That bullet would have been at least 30X as far from the X at 1000 yards.

    I could shoot better than that at 100 ft. back when I was in practice.

    My guess is he's not a real sniper.

  • @10128222 actually no. His rifle was probably zeroed to, at a minimum, 500 meters, so he had to make elevation adjustments based off that zero.

  • @StickyInternets What makes you think he was zeroed at 500 meters? Most snipers I have talked to keep a 100 yard zero and readjust their zero depending on the combat situation their in. For example I met a sniper that was on IED prevention, in that urban environment he was only able to observe 600 yards. So he found a his reference points and zeroed at 300 yards so he would either have to hold over or under.

  • @socalfrijolito my brother served on a Marine scout sniper team. Another guy i met was a SEAL sniper who served with Shugart and Gordon in Mogadishu in 1993 (he asked to be inserted with them, but was denied as his bird had to take over as primary sniper support after those two were put on the deck).

    Both state that you zero your rifle for combat distances. If your rifle is zeroed to 100m, you're constantly readjusting in large increments, rather than zero from 500m and make minor corrections.

  • @socalfrijolito oh, and I leave for Marine Officer Candidates School in 2 weeks, so don't think I'm some 15-year old punk kid who learns from Call of Duty and plays airsoft after school.

    Inconsequential I know, but I realized that's how my reply made me look.

  • @StickyInternets Well good luck with that. I hoping to join the reserves next year when school allows. Still undecided on the branch, I know there are Army Reservist Snipers which is what I want but am unaware If Marine Reservist can become snipers? If so I would want Marines, especially since Camp Pendleton is only 1 1/2 hours away from my house as to where the nearest Army Infantry unit is in Las Vegas(f our hours away from my house ).

  • @socalfrijolito Im pretty sure they do have Marine Reserve Snipers

  • @10128222 I'd love to see you sit in a 130 degree box for 20 minutes and than hit right in the middle of the mark.

    Fucking talker.

  • @10128222

    yeah but the heat would of messed with your head

  • @10128222 exactly. all it takes is just to hold shift and press mouse

  • @sniperRobert

    i click L3 then R1 on the other hand though

  • @10128222 Maybe the rifle wasn't zeroed...

  • This is incredible..

  • @RyanKHS06 you seem to know alot of callofduty lingo for someone not boning their xbox

  • do you think that he has Commando on?

  • Perk three : Jugglenuts

  • If most of the people realize how hard it is to be a sniper, then in no way should anybody get pissed about little kids coming on here making refrences to call of duty. I mean cmon, you know about the realistic aspects of a sniper so don't get worked up about little kids and their COD shit lol :) yes it's annoying at times, but don't blow your corks :p

  • did anyone notice the fly on mikes head at 0:51

  • Hey! SSgt Hendry!? Is that you!??!

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT CALL OF DUTY. YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS!

  • hahahaah the medic looks pist off in this episode and the parkour one ahhaha

  • LOL eye protection WTF IS THAT GONNA DO IF A BULLET HITS YOU ?

  • Snipers are not easy to be its not all about using a gun and hiding you have to know

  • @whereswaldo22

    u forgot the 4 most important things :breathing :angle :bullet length :recon time

    And its Coriolis not Corils effect

  • @whereswaldo22 -barametric pressure-elevation-wind speed-bullet velocity-range finding-scope dope-advanced trigger pull-the art of camoflauge-and lastly-being able to piss and crap on yourself and sit in it (if duty calls)

  • @whereswaldo22 All controlled by a computer now. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't make thier job any easier. Because they still train you for it. But even removing that aspect of the shot itself. It's the miltary, you get trained to do other stuff. Such as moving for your second target in the same location without being noticed. When they are searching the area for you. How to mask your shot so a rteversed shot trace comes out as a false positive allowing you to not have to move.

  • @whereswaldo22 - Not yelling at you or anything but your name reminded me of my childhood. Thanks =)

  • @Dogmeat1950 and even then, the goal was to hit the target between heartbeats. very impressive

  • wow i would make an awsome sniper cause i can stop my heart all together

  • i think that it is really interesting the snipers in the army and kyudo archers of japan both do the same thing that they shoot between heart beats

  • @froliciouspanda Of course it's interesting. The great majority of our strategies (and other countries as well) are still based off strategies written by great leaders. Which included Japan. Almsot 80% of the warfare tactics we use today for main field battle have been used for hundreds of years.

  • SEMPER FI

  • @124reppin dude what the hell does that mean? ive heard it everywhere and i still dont know.

  • @nikthedick123 - Semper Fi/Semper Fidelis=Always Faithful.

  • @124reppin thanks man

  • 99.9% of you so called "Hardocore" Individuals who's only combat experience is sitting in front of your COD on XboX, fighting an inner struggle and trying to decide if you should keep playing or go jerk off to shemale porn. Would shit yourself the first time a round from down range zipped pass your head. So STFU and stop talking like a fucking retard. No one takes you seriously.

  • @ninjairuken ~As a side note, Most Sniper Rifles are zero'd at between 150-250m. 100 ft is real fucking close. Dont surprise me he missed

  • He didnt hit the X

    i would of take another chance.

  • @hopkin104 the goal was not to hit the X the goal was to hit the target

  • first!!!

  • best of luck pooping out that white pill.

  • Hard scope scrub

  • cant any1 hit a non moving target?

  • @jemoua123 its not a test if he can hit it. its if he can do it smack inbetween heartbeats in an extreamly uncomforitable envirement.

  • could some body tell me what kind of rifle is the sniper using?

  • @PinkPinkie2000 it's a Remington 700.

  • @Oxstayne thanks man

  • @PinkPinkie2000 It's actually an M40A3 (USMC) or variant.The civilian version is a Remington 700. The M24 is the Army's version.

  • @PinkPinkie2000 hes a marine so its the m40 not m24 based on the rem 700 action caliber 308 unless hes using the recently issued 300win mag. looks to be a 20 inch barrel which must be mission specific because standard length is 24 for added velocity.

  • One Mind x Any Weapon Ooh-RAH!

  • uh wtf? I can hit a target at 100ft with my freaking airsoft sniper hahaha that must be SO easy for him

  • @shaotiger82 3:13 pa attention to the video next time. Of course it's easy, I'm sure this sniper knew that already, every Sniper out there who is watching this video would think so too. But they are not testing to see if he can hit a target or not.

  • 100 feet? Why do they sound so impressed? Marine scout sniper can shoot More than 500 feet accurately, so this shouldve been no problem for the sniper.

  • The training that people have to take in order to do this is hard. I went through it and I thought it was fun.

  • Steady aim and stopping power pro.

  • @M1grand70

    Hey Billy Bob

  • if i was a sniper, i would want to be called Billy Bob.

  • @m1grand70 fag

  • Why does he need to shoot between hearbeats

  • @negvey more accurate, a heartbeat will make the shot off like a hundreth of an inch, but if making a 2 or 3 mile shot, it can be a few feet off, and that could be the difference between a kill or miss.

  • he doesnt PULL the trigger he squeezes it.

  • the armys a bunch of pussys, id murder that guy with a popsicle stick

  • Want to learn how to boot people offling??

    go here!

    watch?v=iZfmQIqObgY

  • The test was about his ability to control heart rate under stress and the test was also about the claim that he would shoot between heartbeats.

  • that plexiglass box reminds of tha family guy where peter puts himself in one and he farts in it and he passes out because of the smell........hahhaha

  • His little speech at 0:17 makes him seem like a show off.

  • Not really because it's 100% true.

  • snipers r rrly chill ppl

  • STEADY AIM PROO

  • Lol MW2 fanboy

  • why didn't they use water based rounds just like what they did with the ranger guy?

  • because the bullet wont shoot the same

  • they are not checking the accuracy they are check if the sniper can shoot between heart beat.

  • damn....in between heart beats at 85 bpm? simply amazing. at 130 degrees too! even though his aim was off, the purpose of the exercise was to see if he can shoot between heart beats, and he pulled that off. well done.

  • his aim wasn't off wtf are you talking about lol

  • @danwk7

    no, but it wasn't dead on either. lol

  • @LordTyrannus Thats dead on to anyone who plinks. No gun is capable of perfect accuracy, and no person either. There is only a certain level of perfection someone can achieve with a rifle, and with a sub-MOA rifle that about as close as you could ever try for, its more up to chance at that point.

  • @danwk7

    That target was not that far away. A police sniper was capable of shooting a pistol from the hands of a criminal from a much larger distance.( An even smaller target than that bullseye) Now that is dead on.

  • @LordTyrannus Wtf are you talking about, he shot at an X drawn on to a clay pidgeon. He hit the X, he was dead on. The people hear saying he was'nt dead on have no experience shooting.

  • @danwk7

    No if you look at 3:12 you can see that he hit beneath the X on the screen. A shot dead on would be a bullseye. Especially from the distance he was shooting from.

  • lets see how he does in MOA

  • yeah he didnt it exact center, just a bit below, but take into account that snipers have their rifle scopes zeroed at targets far beyond 100 ft, and reel bullets actually rise then fall just a bit... granted he should have compensated but that's probably why he hit low

  • Perk 1: Iron Lungs

  • @inhuman216 xD  indeed

  • your gay
