watched it before. he beaned the SNOT out of bad guy! FREEKING HEADSHOTS!



my hats off to him!




some gots it.............................and some DONT!




he was taught OLD SCHOOL marksmanship. ie. none of this aim for centermass crap!


huge arguments/FIGHTS even involving : present day snipers(centermass) and old school (dead on intersection of "X") match shooters.



think real HARD about the above statement, before ya open yer mouth!



HUGE DIFFERENCE btwn centermass and taking "X" out.

if you're eating a sundae and you have a big enough spoon, it doesn't make much of a difference whether you aim for the cherry on top or the scoop of ice cream underneath...
