Watching these videos 7 years later makes them feel so new again. And hello to any people passing by these comment sections nowadays, were few that stayed c;
You have no idea how pleasant it is to listen to your voice while you are telling these stories. Thank you for this, I am one story wiser once more. You are magnificent!
thats just a lucky shot, if you where good sniper and you know your rifle you can attempt to too and i guarantee you will get one too, i think a good sniper is that one that takes people put one shot every time, aim, shot, dead. quickly some of us take some time to measure distance and this and that sometimes leading to loose the target.
i didnt say the opposite, but no unexperienced gamer can pull a noscope like he did due to the reaction times and such, and bf4 requires you to know your surroundings.
Why is everybody raging about Chris Kyle and Carlos Hathcock? It doesn't matter who got the most kills, what matters is that they both risked their lives for their country and for their fellow soldiers on the frontline. I'll bet more than half of all you idiots wouldn't have even known who Chris Kyle was before you saw American Sniper!
Difference between hatchcock and Kyle is that hatchcock didn't like to kill while Kyle was just some morbid person who did it to kill people. Kyle killed and enjoyed killing people
Thank you so much for doing a story on Carlos Hathcock he was a great sniper.Can you do a story on Isa Hamilton, My father and him met in Vietnam and I think his story is really emotional and worth telling thank you Frankie for Bringing these true heroes the attention they deserve.
Luke Davies Before you think I'm a gun toting republican I am not and my whole family has served my father was a medic in Vietnam he literally saved hundreds of lives so for you to call him a murderer when all he did was save peoples lives deeply offends me, but i don't blame you I blame you'r parents for raising you to think that way and the politicians and the media for brainwashing people to think that soldiers are fighting for there country the only person a soldier fights for is the person beside him the true murderers are the politicians and corrupt governments that send these men and women to do their dirty work. All a soldier is trying to do is make sure his friends make it home alive, now if your friend was getting shot at and you had friends dying around you wouldn't you try and protect him or her, or would you just sit there and let them die, yes it's horrible any one has to die but as long as the leaders of this world cannot see eye to eye this is a necessary evil.
khristian hinds Listen I DO NOT SUPPORT WAR, all i am saying is that these government are to blame I don't even (Spoiler alert), I do not support the U.S. in all it's decisions this whole world is going to shit I wish no one had to fight these wars but as long as there are greedy corrupt genocidal people in this world war is inevitable. Yes I do send money to charity's that help kids in third world countries, and if I had more money I would send more, I really do but there are other countries other than Africa, there are countries in south American, the middle east, and even in the former Soviet Republic that all need are help . The fact is this planet has been ruined over thousands of years of conflicts, the human race itself has always self destructive, we are the only species on this planet to kill each other for the most ludicrous reasons, but as long as this planet has humans we will have war, is it right no but it is human nature sadly. Maybe in a thousand years we can all sing kumbaya by the campfire but till then , well There will be WAR. Oh and by the way calling me dumb I am so glad you showed your maturity .
Luke Davies So the Viet Cong who slaughtered villages in South Vietnam, made kids hold grenades when they went up to the Americans acting like they wanted candy, rigged the entire countryside and jungles with all manner of sick/twisted booby traps, and the fact that North Korea and the Soviets wanted control over the area mean nothing?
Simo Häyhä is a legend. His methods of concealment and movement are taught world wide still. I learnt some of his methods during Marksman training after basic.
the bullet went through his scope because cobra Nd hatcock were looking directly180 degrees of eachother it went through the firdt piece of glass then the second then the third and out into his head ( modern day sniper scopes use 8 magnifieng glasses ? Meaning if this happened the bullet would stop) but the bullet went straight through and took half of the cobras head off, Hathcock was on the run after using an m14 rifle gunning down 15 spldiers in 16 shots under 3 seconds all of which were headshots and were 50 yards away i think. Thats the details you left out Frankie.
We Marines learn about Carlos Hathcock in recruit training, but I think people like him, as well as others, are often overlooked and unknown within the general population. So thank you for using your platform to educate and tell the story of these people.
My missing shots will compliment the story... First shot Marksman bonus headshot bonus and brings down a Little Bird. I'd say that was worthy of the story
I've been recently going through all your war stories videos and I've got to say this is one of my favorite stories, the way you ended the video with the quote was brilliant
I'd like to just dump a few recon tips. Also, a recon isn't really meant to PTFO in the same way an assault is. A recon is supposed to stay back and pick off enemies, helping his teammates from a distance. So, camping is PTFO, as long as you snipe at an objective your team is taking. TIPS! *Don't attack directly.* Flank, and avoid direct fire. Catch your enemies unaware. *Stay in the shadows.* You're much harder to see from a distance (and from up close) while in the dark. Also, the BF4 character models are all very dark, so in the light and *against light-colored surfaces,* you stick out. *Movement is bad when stealthing.* The human eye notices movement VERY quickly and easily, so move slowly. *Aim for the head.* It's a one shot kill, and a sniper's slow rate of fire makes follow-up shots on panicked, erratically moving enemies difficult. *Moving targets are REALLY hard to hit.* Don't try to hit guys you can't hit. It just puts you on the minimap, shows a bullet trail, warns the other team from bullet impact/gunshot, wastes a round. I could go on. *Use bushes to break up your outline.* The shape a person's body makes is very distinctive, and easily recognized. Bushes will conceal parts of it, and you can see through the leaves and still shoot. *Bipods are your friend.* 'Nuff said. *Skylining is bad.* When you're on top of a ridge, you're right there for everyone to see. Picture baby Simba being presented to all the other animals. You're baby Simba with a massive target on your back, chest, and forehead. Nice going. If you have anything else, add to what's here. This is only from my personal experience, so any more stuff is appreciated.
I came up with some more! Also, these tips aren't exclusively for the recons; many are universal tips for all the classes, and others can be tweaked and then used. This may be the best tip you'll get. *The shouts of enemy soldiers tell you where they are.* You see, when you kill a guy, all his teammates within, like, fifty meters (or something insane like that) yell out. By listening, you can tell where they are. You can avoid ambushes and get the drop on people easily. *Don't run around in the open.* In the middle of a courtyard, you can take fire from all directions. If you run along one of the walls instead of through the center, you've limited the amount of sides you can be shot from. Besides, you're no longer in plain view. This tip can help a lot if the next one is not an option. *Use cover to advance.* To get where you want, go from cover to cover. That way there's something to a) conceal you, and b) stop bullets, hopefully. *Be smart about when you leave cover.* If your enemy is running at you through the open, and half of your body is protected by a wall, he's vulnerable, and you've got the advantage. Let that dumbass come to you. *Stick with your mates.* You're going solo. You come across an enemy, and it's your skill and DPS versus his. Now picture the same scenario, except you're with buddy. Now you basically doubled the amount of bullets you can shoot. 90% of the time, the duo will win. *Try to aim for the upper torso. ALSO, NOT A RECON TIP.* Honestly, headshots are awesome and all, but they can be really hard to pull off. Until you're a good marksman, shoot for the large mass that is the body, and hell, maybe the recoil will fuck up your aim and you'll bonk him on the domepiece. Snipers, on the other hand, have a low rate of fire, so (as observed above), follow up shots are hard to do. Headshots are a necessity. *Keep a full mag, and don't reload until it's safe.* If your weapon's half empty, you're gonna run out of bullets when you need them. Always you weapon topped off, but remember how vulnerable you are when you do so.
Do the SAS mission where 9 SAS men fought off 300 communist troops in Oman. There is a documentary on it on TH-cam called 'Last Stand in Oman'. I type this out every War Stories video, please do it!
my favorite sniper story was from Thomas Plunket, A Rifleman in the british army during the Napoleonic wars. Well, to start off, Rifles and Muskets were inaccurate as shit in his times, but during The Battle of Cacabelos, when the general ordered a retreat. But before retreating, he saw the french general Auguste-Marie-François Colbert, even though he was sure he wouldn't make the shot because of the inaccuracy of his Baker Rifle, he still tried, and as a result, he landed a bullet straight through the general, but before retreating, he reloaded his Baker Rifle one more time, he then saw a trumpet-major rushing to aid the fallen general and shoots him too. The shots were at a sufficiently long distance to impress others in the 95th Rifles, whose marksmanship (with the Baker rifle) was far better than the ordinary British soldiers who were armed with a Brown Bess musket and only trained to shoot into a body of men at 50 metres with volley fire. I'm just sharing this cause this guy was king of the snipers in the 1800's
Anyone wanna hear about Vassily Zaytsav (forgive possible misspelling). Soviet sniper who chalked up about 200 kills during the war and Stalingrad. Received the honour of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Awesome story.. Hathcock also was at the forefront of the training that the Marine Corps Sniper School. The same School that trains all the Snipers of every branch of service. Chris Kyle attended that school as well as other snipers
+DustyPwnyFIM Till this day one of the most prestigious snipers actually came from Canada and he was Ojibwa. Francis Pegahmagabow he fought in WW1 with 378 confirmed kills...
Frankie I'm dying for more DayZ man! haha, got a series of my own but watch yours religiously. Would love to merge the series for one episode and meet you on a video :'). Maybe one day my friend, maybe one day! *fingers crossed*.
Here is our fan made story of how me and my friend Johan met up for the first time THE STORY OF JONAS AND JOHAN PT 1 THEY MET ON A ROAMING SERVER OF TAKISTAN ON ARMA 2 OA DEMO, JOHAN WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE MINE WHERE THE BEST LOOT WAS BUT ON THE WAY THERE THERE WAS A CAR THAT DROVE PAST HIM HE SHOUTED OUT STOP THE CAR I NEED A PICKUP THE DRIVER STOPPED THE CAR. THERE WASN'T ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE CAR THERE WAS TWO PEOPLE THE STRANGE PLAYER SCUFF IN THE PASSENGER SEAT HE WAS VERY STRANGE AND DIDN'T SEAM TO BE FRIENDLY. BUT THE FRIENDLY DRIVER NAMED JONAS ASKED JOHAN WHERE HE WAS HEADED JOHAN REPLIED "IM GOING TO THE MINE" JONAS FRIENDLY SAID YES BUT HE WAS HESITATEING CUS THE MINE WAS DANGUROUS PLACE TO GO TO BUT HE STILL DID IT. WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THE MINE JOHAN THANKED FOR THE RIDE AND ASKED HIM TO WAIT UNTILL HE WERE DONE LOOTING JONAS DID WHAT JOHAN ASKED. THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF JONAS AND JOHAN'S ADVENTURE IN THE WORLD OF ARMA, WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT THIER ADVENTURE AS PARTNERS WOULD RESUALT IN A LONG LASTING FRIENDSHIP.
lol That part with which hathcock shoots through one snipers' scope, that was also portrayed in Enemy at the Gates. It was a great movie about Vascili Zeitzev. I do not know if he actually did that as well, when he fought the german officer but they certainly did make it suspenseful
Hathcock. 93 confirmed kills? Pfft. Vasily Zaitsev - 242, some over 1km, included 11 snipers. Matthäus Hetzenauer - 345, longest at 1.1km. Fyodor Okhlopkov - 429. Lyudmila Pavlichenko - Greatest female sniper, 309 kills. Josef 'Sepp' Allerberger - 257. Yeah, there are a bunch of better snipers, all of which pretty much used unique techniques. No ghillies at that time, too.
general anaesthetic is a weird experience, when I had to have it it was being rolled into theatre and then blinked an a second later I was back in my room missing my appendix.
Field report, FRANKIEonPCin1080p otherwise known as a Pubstomper, was reported MIA since, January, 30, 2013 although evidence reports that Frankie is indeed alive it's not certain, as Citizen's begin to mourn the lost of Frankie, others seem to have hope that he is alive and well running. Sign's that he is indeed alive are the following, a like, a comment, an upload. We just hope He's alive. Jahova out.
Wow, watched a documentary on sniping legends over an hour ago, and the guy in this video you are talking about was one of the people they were highlighting in the doc
Are you a fucking idiot? He posted on his facebook that he made it, and he will either post today or tommorow, So fuck off and giving people wrong info
Hope you're feeling better bro!! Take your time in getting better, health is more important than our entertainment. I take it everything went well though, so that's good =)
This is one of the best series you have Frankie :) , but could you maybe play some more DayZ SA, in my opion the best series. Now that they have added some new stuff in their latest update. I actually make very informative guide vids of dayz in case you are a beginner and want to enjoy the game as much as Frankie
Haha. Yeah, it's a great movie. Vasily died about 2 decades ago, I think. Old age. He was a goddamn legend though. Here's the wikipedia page on him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Zaytsev
Fun fact: the Marine Corps still has possession of Carlos Hathcock’s M70. I know a guy who was a part of the national shooting team that got to put a few rounds through it.
love stories about famous snipers, my favourite sniper has to be the trusty ol' Zaitsev, shame the enemy at the gates film was a bad depiction and didn't tell it how it really was. Zaitsev was the first sniper to fully utilise is surroundings completely and made the "sixes" tactic which is almost mandatory in its use my sniper teams today.
did u know he commanded a sixteen year old sniper called tania chernova i found out about both in a book called the sniper it has a red cover cant remember what else see if i can get a link for u but if i remember correctly the sniper unit were all young apart from zaitsev and she got her hatred from the germans in this book when her 13 year old brother mended german boots but also stole documents he was caught and his nickname tania gave him was from a poem i think was mender of bad soles when she was told this and heard the name she went to the execution to see if it was him i forgot to mention she and a friend were behind enemy lines cut off from the unit she was to the germans a spy type thing thx to a friend she met earlier any way at the execution it was her brother he was singing the like russian scouts but rather than camping they were sandbagging and basically brought up as soldiers and his lasts words were from the scout guide book thing and were something like i die knowing i gave everything for my country can you say the same from her she called germans sticks as she said they weren't human but sticks to be snapped in two she killed 88 germans and captured a general or something with her unit after getting back to them and that day the battle of stalingrad ended with his capture dont quote me on this while since i read it its true as she told the author herself as it says it in the back

Make it 7 here

@@thomasathey5265 funny enough I watched this video again about 3 weeks ago and forgot about this comment I guess some things just bring you back 😂
there’s a sense of nostalgia now
Hancock kept that quote as a reminder to remember if he ever like killing men then he himself was no longer one.
i have cake
You have no idea how pleasant it is to listen to your voice while you are telling these stories. Thank you for this, I am one story wiser once more. You are magnificent!
1 minute of silence in the memory of Frankie.
(1989-2014)
Love these war story videos. Perfect to listen to at work :D
"you guys can watch my terrible sniping..." - then gets a 200m marksman headshot on a pilot in a little bird... SRSLY?
and the noscope ^
thats just a lucky shot, if you where good sniper and you know your rifle you can attempt to too and i guarantee you will get one too, i think a good sniper is that one that takes people put one shot every time, aim, shot, dead. quickly some of us take some time to measure distance and this and that sometimes leading to loose the target.
i didnt say the opposite, but no unexperienced gamer can pull a noscope like he did due to the reaction times and such, and bf4 requires you to know your surroundings.
Jonathan Santiago finally someone who can snipe the good way the proper way were a dying breed in BF buddy
One hell of a story
Lol hey man love your vids
The picture of the .50 cal sniper made me laugh. It is purely ridiculous, but brilliant at the same time.
Yep
"My footage of terrible sniping"
Takes out chopper pilot 5 seconda later...
LOL ARK-KANSAS

Why is everybody raging about Chris Kyle and Carlos Hathcock? It doesn't matter who got the most kills, what matters is that they both risked their lives for their country and for their fellow soldiers on the frontline. I'll bet more than half of all you idiots wouldn't have even known who Chris Kyle was before you saw American Sniper!
I knew who Chris Kyle was before his glossy bio pic. He didn't fight for his country, he lived for the thrill of the kill.
*clap clap clap clap clap*
True
Ze C. Tapking about kills.....Hathcock van have 500 or more comfirmed kills but Frankie have more than 1000 ;)
Difference between hatchcock and Kyle is that hatchcock didn't like to kill while Kyle was just some morbid person who did it to kill people. Kyle killed and enjoyed killing people
Thank you so much for doing a story on Carlos Hathcock he was a great sniper.Can you do a story on Isa Hamilton, My father and him met in Vietnam and I think his story is really emotional and worth telling thank you Frankie for Bringing these true heroes the attention they deserve.
true heroes? sorry don't wanna be "that guy" but these people are murderers.
Luke Davies They are not murderers they are soldiers doing there job. Would you shoot a man that is going to kill you or your comrades.
Luke Davies Before you think I'm a gun toting republican I am not and my whole family has served my father was a medic in Vietnam he literally saved hundreds of lives so for you to call him a murderer when all he did was save peoples lives deeply offends me, but i don't blame you I blame you'r parents for raising you to think that way and the politicians and the media for brainwashing people to think that soldiers are fighting for there country the only person a soldier fights for is the person beside him the true murderers are the politicians and corrupt governments that send these men and women to do their dirty work.

Miss These War Stories!
"I thought me missing targets would compliment this hero" head shots a pilot from 200 plus meteres away
Carlos Hathcock is an original badass, back before the rangefinders, GPS, & real nightvision...just a legend, and his rifle..
Simo Häyhä is a legend.
His methods of concealment and movement are taught world wide still. I learnt some of his methods during Marksman training after basic.
GO FINLAND!!!
niin, niin
If I seem to remember he also for one period had a nasty case of shot in the face syndrome yet he kept on going!
He really is he just kept on going!
Watching this after Frankie’s legendary 2021 return. His old videos and battlefield stories still rock
I read the book on him and it was a truly gripping story, fantastic read.
the bullet went through his scope because cobra Nd hatcock were looking directly180 degrees of eachother it went through the firdt piece of glass then the second then the third and out into his head ( modern day sniper scopes use 8 magnifieng glasses ?

Thats the details you left out Frankie.
Don't worry guys. Frankie has survived countless zombie apocalypses. A little operation isn't going to stop him. He's a tough son of a bitch.
He's already fine :)
We Marines learn about Carlos Hathcock in recruit training, but I think people like him, as well as others, are often overlooked and unknown within the general population. So thank you for using your platform to educate and tell the story of these people.
just sittin here eating soup, listening to war stories
These really make me wish we had a WWII game in Frostbite 3....
Something along those lines would be super cool, try Red Orchestra if you havn't already Big Chap its no bad attaw
My missing shots will compliment the story... First shot Marksman bonus headshot bonus and brings down a Little Bird.

Also, be careful when running along treelines. Stay 15-20 feet in, so you don't silhouette yourself on the the trees.
I condone all of these. Learned these tips in the army myself. :)
Mathematics I just figured these out while playing, aside from the skylining one. That I got from a video.
I came up with some more! Also, these tips aren't exclusively for the recons; many are universal tips for all the classes, and others can be tweaked and then used.

I've seen some brief documentaries on Hathcock but never did I hear about the whole Browning 50 cal mounted with a scope, talk about a badass.
Hope the operation went well Frankie. Thought we would of heard an update from you by now and getting abit nervous :/
He has already posted one his Facebook since having it and also liked 2 videos on youtube he just hasn't uploaded anything yet he's fine
james Malone He even changed the description of this vid to say he's fine
Me too, even though his FB has said that "all is ok" its still a shame to not see any new vids up :(
wait what operation?
whats wrong with him or was wrong with him?
CompleteGaming I'm pretty sure he talks about it in this video. Maybe it was a different one
I know another marine sniper, who served in a different part of vietnam, talk about this guy before. Its really cool to hear this story again.
My dad used to tell me these exact stories haha. I imagine he's read the same book or one very similar to the one you are reading.
when he said carlos the first time i instantly thought "that is that guy who made the longest sniper shot ever!"
Do the SAS mission where 9 SAS men fought off 300 communist troops in Oman. There is a documentary on it on TH-cam called 'Last Stand in Oman'. I type this out every War Stories video, please do it!
10 years later and I’m still coming back, can’t get enough of the story telling!!
"bah! anyone can get longrange kills with a sniper. that's easymode..... i will instead use a high-caliber machinegun"
lol "thought I would let you watch my terrible sniping" *immedietly snipes pilot* :O

Frankie, please do a war story on the Finnish sharpshooter Simo Häyhä, AKA The White Death.
Anyone wanna hear about Vassily Zaytsav (forgive possible misspelling). Soviet sniper who chalked up about 200 kills during the war and Stalingrad. Received the honour of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Awesome story.. Hathcock also was at the forefront of the training that the Marine Corps Sniper School. The same School that trains all the Snipers of every branch of service. Chris Kyle attended that school as well as other snipers
Let's all wish Frankie good luck with his operation.
Wow frankie havent uploaded a video for almost 2 weeks! Frankie what happened to you?
Did you even listen during the video? LIsten to what he says during 0:52 - 1:58
Vale65ntin He didn't survived :|

Zamureye Copycat :

Amazing how many legends come from the Marines, huh?
Actually there a lot more sniper from the Soviet Union that became some of the deadliest snipers of all time but correct me if I'm wrong
Jonah Jackson This is true. Vaseili (sorry for butchering that name), lots of women sharpshooters too.
***** Not really actually, The most come from Russia.
Heidar Elmatni I'm talking about legends in general, and Jonah Jackson already pointed out that yes, a lot come from Russia as well.
+DustyPwnyFIM Till this day one of the most prestigious snipers actually came from Canada and he was Ojibwa. Francis Pegahmagabow he fought in WW1 with 378 confirmed kills...
I love your war stories. Keep 'em coming! :)
"He was behind into enemy lines and killed one vietcong's general."
Like !
For 3 days
Frankie I'm dying for more DayZ man! haha, got a series of my own but watch yours religiously. Would love to merge the series for one episode and meet you on a video :'). Maybe one day my friend, maybe one day! *fingers crossed*.
Favourite Sniper quote is a dialogue "Reporter:What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?" Sniper:"Recoil"
Here is our fan made story of how me and my friend Johan met up for the first time

THERE WASN'T ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE CAR THERE WAS TWO PEOPLE THE STRANGE PLAYER SCUFF IN THE PASSENGER SEAT HE WAS VERY STRANGE AND DIDN'T SEAM TO BE FRIENDLY. BUT THE FRIENDLY DRIVER NAMED JONAS ASKED JOHAN WHERE HE WAS HEADED JOHAN REPLIED "IM GOING TO THE MINE" JONAS FRIENDLY SAID YES BUT HE WAS HESITATEING CUS THE MINE WAS DANGUROUS PLACE TO GO TO BUT HE STILL DID IT.

"Terrible sniping"
-kills a pilot from 500m away with a niper in the first minute
-is an absolute beast afterwards
Yea
lol That part with which hathcock shoots through one snipers' scope, that was also portrayed in Enemy at the Gates. It was a great movie about Vascili Zeitzev. I do not know if he actually did that as well, when he fought the german officer but they certainly did make it suspenseful
Hathcock. 93 confirmed kills? Pfft.
Vasily Zaitsev - 242, some over 1km, included 11 snipers.
Matthäus Hetzenauer - 345, longest at 1.1km.
Fyodor Okhlopkov - 429.
Lyudmila Pavlichenko - Greatest female sniper, 309 kills.
Josef 'Sepp' Allerberger - 257.
Yeah, there are a bunch of better snipers, all of which pretty much used unique techniques. No ghillies at that time, too.
FRANKIEonPC ladies and gentlemen: Claims that his sniping is terrible, three seconds later shoots the pilot out of a moving helicopter.
general anaesthetic is a weird experience, when I had to have it it was being rolled into theatre and then blinked an a second later I was back in my room missing my appendix.
I thought this was just a sniper Montage but I was amazed at what I've learned. Thanks
Love that 'u can watch my rubbish snipin'........first shot kills a heli pilot
Goddamnit, why not Simo Häyhä?!
i also heard he let an enemy target finish his lunch before he killed him.
wow so generous :P
pearsniper101 yea i thought it was kinda weird
pokkitmonzturr
No fun getting picked off on an empty stomach.
ArbitraryLiberator yea :P
"whos clock was always set at time to kick ass" best line of 2014 10/10 xD
Field report, FRANKIEonPCin1080p otherwise known as a Pubstomper, was reported MIA since, January, 30, 2013 although evidence reports that Frankie is indeed alive it's not certain, as Citizen's begin to mourn the lost of Frankie, others seem to have hope that he is alive and well running. Sign's that he is indeed alive are the following, a like, a comment, an upload. We just hope He's alive. Jahova out.
My favorite series on youtube :)
Talking about hardcore snipers, check out Simo Häyhä, a finnish sniper in the Winter War.
first five seconds of the video he mentions simo.... did you even watch?
Sorry, I guess I didn't notice that.. lol
simo häyhä is my step fathers uncle :)
veikka lääperi i really do not belive that got any proof?
John Adams Would it make any difference if it was true or false?
It might actually be he is.
Wow, watched a documentary on sniping legends over an hour ago, and the guy in this video you are talking about was one of the people they were highlighting in the doc
Frankie you should check out the last stand in Oman. Nine SAS soldiers vs 300 communist insurgents. There is a TH-cam documentary on it.
RIP in peace, Frankie. You will be missed #NeverForget
Rest In Peace in peace, Frankie
can you link me to a story or something cause I don't want to believe that
Florst Drone
Jonathan Travis krebs nvm i read the description
Are you a fucking idiot? He posted on his facebook that he made it, and he will either post today or tommorow, So fuck off and giving people wrong info
iFaMeMcFriez relax dude
R.I.P. Frankie
Did he die?
Team Ender did you even watch the video
Noooooooo! :(
He's gonna be fine
its a joke hes gonna be fine (i hope) just listen to the vid.
"Watch my terrible sniping"
*shoots a pilot out of a moving heli while compensating for movement and distance*
You should talk about the finish fieldsniper Simo Häyhä who killed around 550 soviet soldiers during ww2
Read the description people...
The way he said Arkansas 😂😂😂
Dice literally made the battlefield 1 campaign off of Frankie's war stories. Not really but it's just funny that he was doing these years ago.
Hope you're feeling better bro!! Take your time in getting better, health is more important than our entertainment. I take it everything went well though, so that's good =)
no.
ahmed radi
It isnt.
no it is not his full job btw he's a salesman
Thomas Cote
Grow up dude. TH-cam isnt worth risking your health.
ya ik i was joking chill out
This is one of the best series you have Frankie :) , but could you maybe play some more DayZ SA, in my opion the best series. Now that they have added some new stuff in their latest update. I actually make very informative guide vids of dayz in case you are a beginner and want to enjoy the game as much as Frankie
Pookie, you have awesome Guides :D
i LOVE these war stories
I read his book Marine Sniper 3 times about ten years ago. Brutal book. Definitely one of the best military books I’ve ever read
"Are Kansas" lol you can tell he's English :P great video man!
Is this the new Call of Duty people are talking about?
Yeah pretty much.
Better hit detection when it doesn't bug out which is hardly ever.
It is not call of duty bro.
-__- you have got to be kidding me.
No.
Mature people play this.
its even better mate.. some fucking 50 digit times more better..
YO Frankie where u at? Not seen you for a week
He's been recovering recently, sure he'll be back soon
RixyIsGod we dont care we want more videos NOW!
RixyIsGod Oh yeah just remembered he had that op
Diego Ferreira that harsh bro
Anthony Mercado I love forest gump
Sniper helicopter pilot at 0:54, that was plain dirty sir. I wish I had your skills bro that was amazing.
Frankie, you should cover Vasily Zaytsev. He was a Russian sniper who killed 225 german soldiers within 2 weeks of arriving in Stalingrad in WW2.
There's a movie about him, isn't there? I think it's called "Enemy at the Gates".
MrSobyn amazing movie
Ryan shinsky Indeed. I watched it like 3 times.
Haha. Yeah, it's a great movie. Vasily died about 2 decades ago, I think. Old age. He was a goddamn legend though. Here's the wikipedia page on him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Zaytsev
nice story frankie, keep 'em comin'.
Love these videos Frankie, and I got REALLY excited when I heard you have some more Altis Life lined up as well! Good luck with your surgery!
Fun fact: the Marine Corps still has possession of Carlos Hathcock’s M70. I know a guy who was a part of the national shooting team that got to put a few rounds through it.
Good luck with the surgery!
Please do Vasily Zaytsev, a German nightmare!
Everyone knows of him. He is drawing attention to people who deserve to be known but are not.
SuperBurgernips I don't.
Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi 1969
I REALLY love your name! :D
Upload when you can Frankie take your time.
aint nobody got time for that
love stories about famous snipers, my favourite sniper has to be the trusty ol' Zaitsev, shame the enemy at the gates film was a bad depiction and didn't tell it how it really was. Zaitsev was the first sniper to fully utilise is surroundings completely and made the "sixes" tactic which is almost mandatory in its use my sniper teams today.
did u know he commanded a sixteen year old sniper called tania chernova i found out about both in a book called the sniper it has a red cover cant remember what else see if i can get a link for u but if i remember correctly the sniper unit were all young apart from zaitsev and she got her hatred from the germans in this book when her 13 year old brother mended german boots but also stole documents he was caught and his nickname tania gave him was from a poem i think was mender of bad soles when she was told this and heard the name she went to the execution to see if it was him i forgot to mention she and a friend were behind enemy lines cut off from the unit she was to the germans a spy type thing thx to a friend she met earlier any way at the execution it was her brother he was singing the like russian scouts but rather than camping they were sandbagging and basically brought up as soldiers and his lasts words were from the scout guide book thing and were something like i die knowing i gave everything for my country can you say the same from her she called germans sticks as she said they weren't human but sticks to be snapped in two she killed 88 germans and captured a general or something with her unit after getting back to them and that day the battle of stalingrad ended with his capture dont quote me on this while since i read it its true as she told the author herself as it says it in the back
got a link http ://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sniper-James-Riordan/dp/1845078853 i recomend it read it a few times if u do get it hope u enjoy it
If you like ziatzev look up Simo Haya. Imo hes the best sniper that ever lived.
