This was not a sniper. At 200 yards snipers don't miss and they don't expose their position unless certain of their target.

@DarthTroller You're right a well trained sniper will hardly miss at that range, keyword "trained sniper".

@austrain

It's normal when you can't really locate the sniper(s), and don't just want to fire away and waste ammo.

Have you guys seen the film Hell and Back Again? Just watched it on Netflix instant watch. Incredible film and I can't believe the footage Danfung Dennis captured, running around with the Marines without any training. That guy is insane. bitly .com/xGlfQy

@DarthTroller Agreed, hate when other people point fingers when they don't know what they are talking about and also when they have no room to talk. People are so ignorant that they don't gonoutnof their way to learn something for themselves instead they take what they hear as truth. Denmark what a joke

[DarthTroller]

@Jmbrown0311 What is Denmark? I love that question! Denmark is the country that was invaded and liberated during two world wars, but more that that, they are a nation that grew rich off the slave trade, and continue to use slave labor to mine blood diamonds and gold, and produce chocolate to sell around the world. Dispite that Denmark still points their hypocritical finger at the United States. Denmark needs to think about their own immoral history before commenting on others.

@paintballallday90 The Taliban is just a bunch of guys with guns. If the Taliban has any snipers, they weren't there the day this video was made.

[reliablethreat23]

[paintballallday90]

@DarthTroller its the Taliban though.....

Thats what fuckin sucks about the war, the afghanistanians and pakastanians that are terrorists hide umong the civilians so 1) you cant open fire 2) you shoot innocent civilians because they trick you that the civilians are terrorists too 3) they can easily ambush you 4) you care and risk your life for the civilians so they take advantage of it and can put both soldiers and civilians life in harm, etc. FUCK YOU TERRORISTS

mmh ich bin total naja wie soll ich sagen reich

[DarthTroller]

There is a difference between a guy with a gun and a sniper. A sniper is trained. A guy with a gun is what you have in this video. If that had been a sniper, most of those marines would not have survived.
