2. Is he using an anti tank rifle?!

   Is it this one? “Russian sniper” most likely refers to a Dragunov sniper rifle rather than literally a Russian sniper.

4. Enemy at the Gates level sniper battle

5. That is wild

6. Forgive me for not knowing but why is there a spot light shining right on him?

7. Reminds me of the video of a guy shooting a distant target while seated, and the bullet ricochets directly back and takes out his earpro

8. Where spotter

9. Reminds me of Carlos Hathcock, upon whose head the PAVN placed a bounty of US$30,000.

   > Hathcock held the record for the highest bounty and killed every known Vietnamese marksman who sought him to try to collect it

   > One of Hathcock’s most famous accomplishments was shooting an enemy sniper through the enemy’s own rifle scope, hitting him in the eye and killing him.

   If you shoot someone through their scope, they were looking in your direction and possibly targeting you.

10. Anyone knows what is this monster of a rifle?

11. His bullet was close lost my hat mine was closer he lost his head

12. Excuse me for my ignorance but do Lieutenant Colonels in the Iraqi army see regular action? Thought that anyone with ranks similar or high enough like that won’t really see much action.
