Someones being watching Saving Private Ryan?

I've watched another video about Carlos Halfcock. The reason they could not prove this myth is because the scopes they were using were not the same as the ones they used in the Vietnam war. The scope the Vietnam sniper had used less lenses which allowed the bullet to travel through

I totally lolled at 1:50

couldn't an anti materials rifle destroy that with ease? Though i do get we're testing on older rifles.

wow! they totally messed up the myth!! This is how it's suppose to have been done:

1. the enemy uses a Mosin Nagant

2. the enemy uses a PU scope which only has 2 lenses

3. the sniper using a .308 bolt action rifle (Carlos Hathcock)

With these out of the myth (maybe only one) this myth was busted but it was done and I have done it with 2 lenses at 50 yrds with my Mosin Nagant

Well, during the Vietnam war, snipers used .30-06 M2 rounds, which were armor piercing, steel cored projectiles due to an assumption that they offered better accuracy. This being filmed in CA, where those are illegal, the Mythbusters are undoubtedly using FMJ lead projectiles for their testing, which are far more apt to deform, and thus deflect against the internals of the scope.
