You are conflating two incidents. He wasn't crawling back when the enemy snipers targeted him; the targeting by "the Cobra" -- the up-to-that-time efficient Vietcong sniper -- was a later incident when he was in camp.
You are confused somewhat, he didn't crawl for seven days, and the NLF sent their top sniper to hunt him down, (the sniper the Cobra) which was a separate incident, he killed him also.

Hathcock was the g.o.a.t they don't mention it here but that sniper battle between those two went on for days and hathcock himself said the only way he was able to make that shot was because the enemy had him in HIS sights at the same time. The winner was decided by a fraction of a second
Hathcock literally has a sniper model named after him the “White Feather” and once he saw a boy riding a bike full of ak-47s so he shot the front wheel instead of the boy hoping that boy would run away but instead the boy picked up a AK and started firing so he was forced to shoot him but the “sniper” he was using was actually a M1 Browning machine gun tripod with a scope and he used it cuz it was 50 Cal
@Core that shot was the world record longest sniper kill until Afghanistan. 2500yds and the shot was verified by his spotter and a third party who was required to be an officer.

It depends on the sight and the round used. Likely a round large enough to go through the sight, would also breaker the entire optic. Would likely be taken out of commission because of shrapnel in eye and damage to orbital socket, but I don't know anyone who would rather shoot a sight instead of the head literally surrounding it.

Damn right!! I'm proud to call myself a marine even though I'm not in anymore I'll always be a marine and I am part of this history and will live forever RAH!
I read the book. He was known as the white feather, because he kept one on his helmet. The NVA put a massive bounty on his head, and he had a decent stalking match against the enemy sniper. Finally, he saw the scope glint, fired at it, found the body, and discovered his round went right through the scope. Seeing the glint suggested the NVA sniper had Hathcock in his sights, but Carlos got the shot off first.
at the distance in the film it is actually an impossible shot. the rifle round would be dropping down by the time it reached the scope, so the bullet wouldn’t have gone through the glass but it would have hit the top or bottom.
I've seen bad physics assumptions, but damn yours is one of the worst. The shot in the movie was like 150 feet, not even a ww2 rifle would have more than a centimeter or 2 of drop at that distance. Not to mention with how fast the bullet is going, even if it isn't perfectly lined with the other snipers scope it won't hit the top or bottom of the scope if it wasn't going to to begin with, and even if it did it would just tear through the scope and still kill the German sniper.
@@mc4906 he is actually wrong a bullet is on the upward rise as it leaves the barrel it doesn't start to drop until it has hit its peak depending on the caliber it could be 200 yards before the bullet loses enough energy to drop... you can look at a chart on the back of a ammo box and get that much information....
They used a compound scope instead of a fixed scope which would be much more common; this has been verified as possible as the fixed scope has far fewer lenses. Mythbusters is unfortunately historically bad in their firearm knowledge.
My grandfather was a marksman (sniper) in Vietnam and said he looked up to this man. There was some really infamous bad battle my grandfather was apart of and he said grenades saved his life because they fell quietly beside those walking in the bush. I’ll never forget him telling me.
That was a different person. Nobody knows what her real name was, but apparently she was pretty sadistic. I don't remember if it was White Feather or another sniper who killed her. The scope kill was someone else though
hathcock also put an optic on a browning .50 MACHINE GUN and got long distance confirmed kills with it, he is the reason the marine corps scout sniper school is so difficult because he created it. LEGEND
For all the people saying "Mythbusters proved that impossible." Remember, the guys on Mythbusters were not actual snipers. Here is a video of an actual sniper proving it is, in fact, possible m.ruclips.net/video/QWrvOyoYjII/видео.html
The one they shot is a Modern Scope with multiple Lenses while The ones the NVA use is probably a hand me down Mosin Carbine with a PU scope which only has 2 lenses and limited magnification.
That’s cause myth busters doesn’t account for any actual human decision making. It was damn near the perfect shot and at the perfect distance for it to happen.
Actually they revisited the myth and did it with a 30 ought 6. Another problem was they were using hollow point bullets which disintegrate in the scope. So actually this is possible
Man is a legend in marine corps history. One of his many one shot kills is a PAVN general where he slow crawled 1500 yards for 4 days and 3 nights without sleep, avoiding venomous snakes and at one point nearly got stepped on by a patrol. The PAVN placed a the highest bounty on him of $30,000 during the war.
Due to the bullet traveling through the optic and into the man’s head in a clean shot, it can be assumed the enemy was also aiming directly at ‘The White Feather’ when he fired.
The reason the shot Was so famous Was supposedly the bullet went through the scope without damaging or scraping the sides of it which would mean they would have to be aiming at each other at the exact same time in the exact same place which is very unlikely hence why it’s a legend
Hathcock was the best all around sniper ever. Wasn’t only one of if not the best shooters as getting a perfect score winning the Wimbledon proved that but his persistence and perfection in himself was what made him so great. People look at his numbers and compare them to others but he wasn’t in Vietnam long before he was severely burned and sent home. In Iraq his numbers would’ve been unmatched.
Understatement of the century. Carlos was the best U.S sniper at the time and he fought one of north vietnams best snipers by the code name of viper. The battle between White feather and Viper lasted 4 days. Until Carlos got into the shadows of a tree up hill he saw vipers sniper glare from the sun.
The thing is that the shot was in fact so accurate that the only explanation for the bullet not even grazing the inside of the scope was if the enemy sniper was also in fact looking at him directly.

Was supposedly the bullet went through the scope without damaging or scraping the sides of it which would mean they would have to be aiming at each other at the exact same time in the exact same place which is very unlikely hence why it’s a legend

I am not private Ryan but പാവം Ryan .
Love it when people call it a "Sniper Scope" kinda funny lol.
I tripped so hard I thought his last name is halfcock
