[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 340836, member: 20245"] Hey, yeah I caught the show, was also disapoijted about the shots, except Carlos' one. On the other hand, how they tested his shot by shooting through a scope at 30yards was pretty stupid. I imagine the angle at which it enters the scope at 300yards is very different, the bullet probably rickoted inside the scope. The canadian sniper shot I found really sad. If you already have no data for a bullet, how the hell is heating it up a sniper trick? Unless I'm completly misinformed, lr shooting is about trying to keep everything consistent. I'm pretty **** sure putting a round in the sun for a few minutes doesn't count... That was a complete potshot, when I first read about the shot I really had some respect for the Canadian snipershide but after seeing this... Anyone could have done that. He didn't even dial in correctly, just cranked his scope till it stopped then held some and dropped a suntanned round in the chamber. Greatest shot in history? Pfft is all I can say. But yes was an interesting show overall, cleared up some stuff. I also thought it was pretty gorey for the history channel... My 12year old brother watches that show and this was discribing people's faces being taken off.... [/QUOTE]
