If the bullet was flying for 6 eeconds it would've been 5 km because a 338 (lapua mag) flies anywhere between 815 and 915 meters per second

[@Metro_Man-ev6xk]

Muzzle Velocity and now Google how fast the bullet bleeds it's speed without acceleration while traveling.

[@theghosttuber]

@@Metro_Man-ev6xk oh yeah forgot that part😂 I'm fucking dumb😂😂

[@troy-gy2oh]

You have to account for air resistance.

Your name says it but I was thinking it.

[@Donkeymaster9000]

@@Wonderwhoopin I wonder how many wonder whoopings you’ve gotten in your lifetime 🫡

[@Mygg_Jeager]

They didn't really exist at the time.

[@TheCelticBrotherhood]

I saw this lad tell the story

[@danferguson1705]

Poor fella forgot to dial in his scope..😢

[@travisinthetrunk]

Why tell a story about a sniper that couldn’t hit the target? It reminds me of my dad’s stories that go nowhere.

[@wolfshanze5980]

A sniper that takes like 30 attempts to hit a target does not impress me.

[@Masada1911]

@@wolfshanze5980lol yeah I know you would do it so much quicker. Real badass over here.

[@Mitch06102]

There’s another part to this, the Taliban he was shooting at were about 3km away

[@XenomorphsWrath]

@@Mitch06102 was suspecting something like this but the short didn't give that information so judging the video for its content seems fair.

[@johnlucas6683]

​@@XenomorphsWrathBecause there is a long form of the video. I think the distance was around 2.4km.
These shorts are just bits and pieces.

[@Allriteyeah12]

Cool

[@Buffalosoldier2323]

Sounds like my kids trying to hit a target

[@ChristopherPizer-xy1oq]

Thou art spoketh thine truth

[@danferguson1705]

Missed by 849m? 😳 Jesus. Man

[@HiYo-bro]

WOW

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Horrible spotter and sniper

[@battlegameing1881]

[@83VIP83]

14 shots😂😂😂

[@pain7958]

To do what literally no one else had done in history at that time...

[@double-O-9_and_a_half]

F*ckin pog

[@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire]

A sniper in an armoured unit is not a pog/remf whatever. Grow up
