They were making a statement, based on something that was said in the video. Had they omitted the quote, everyone reading the statement would have had to take a guess as to what exactly they were referring to.
There is something so amazing about listening to a guy talk about something he is an expert in. It so satisfying to hear someone that is extremely good at their job. This was a great watch
His "job" was to kill people... in a foreign far away land the US invaded without any warrant. And nobody seems to mind. But maybe that's because he just killed Arabs?
@@stoffeoscarsson6572 I know US Americans can't see that and don't like to hear it. But if you go to a strangers place, enter it forcefully under false pretense and kill someone.. that's murder. Doesn't matter how they like to call it, it's simply murder
I never realized how much math is used when sniper shots are fired. I always thought it was “see a target, shoot the target”. This was incredibly interesting. This dude is a real walking legend
Agreed. I was like "That was a weird shot.." But he was just talking about how good it was and I just sat there, 100% understanding what he is talking about.
It is easier for the wise man to play a fool than it is for fool to play a wise man. This is how anybody sounds that knows exactly what they're doing due to experience. Now imagine if he just kept quiet. Imagine if he talked about anything else other than what he's done in the military. Imagine how well he can play the fool. That's why I love experience and knowledge because you can hide both of them until you're ready to show it. Meanwhile stupid people? They are always ready to show how dumb they actually are :-)
@@erasmus_locke Uh, because that is a fair point? He said the gun was so heavy that the gun should have been carried in two separate parts. The guy is moving with around four-gallon paint cans of weight for miles like it weighed nothing. Doesn't matter if you are a trained soldier or not, you would be absolutely wiped. Sure, he should have probably actually reviewed the sniper shooting (unless it wasn't part of the scene, I didn't watch the movie), but that is a fair point. Guns are a LOT heavier than they look.

The boogey man isn't in the closet anymore.... he was taken out with one shot years ago some kid saw him and got tired of being scared and hired a sniper to take him out. from that day , no child has seen him LOL
Might want to also check the basement, roof, the trees surrounding your home and if there is any water within a few hundred yards of your home. Oh, and under your bed as well.
The other scary thing he forgot to mention with saving private ryan is the fact that in order for a scope shot to work, the enemy sniper has to be dialed in on you perfectly too. It has been recorded on happening, once and only once. That means you both are staring at each other and you pulled the trigger first. You would have literally been a fraction of a second from death.
For that to happen, shouldnt you actually aim the Gun of your target to allign the Scope for that shot? If the Angle is off even by one millimeter, you just crush the scope and nothing else.
Eh less than that tight. You would not try and intentionally shoot through a scope, so for it to happen it would be a guy turning to face you the second you fired. You definitely had at least a second or two before he truly reacted and tried shooting.
@@fearedjames no it is that tight. The lenses are curved inside that scope. Yes no sniper would ever intentionally aim there but they might be going for a headshot and the bullet happened to hit the scope. In order for that bullet to make it through the scope it has to hit exactly square on all lenses. Which also means the lenses in the hit scope have to be mounted perfect. Myth Busters did an amazing teat on this to show how hard it is to get a bullet to go through one.
Corney correct. His K/D ratio will never be determined until after he dies. And that’s only 33 we know of ... considering he was S.O. there’s probably kills he can’t even talk about.
I like how he explains that it's completely impossible to shoot the gun out of someone's hand at such a far range but still thinks it's a five out of 10 but then as soon as he sees a black scope and a white snowy field he gives it a two
It's not like he was crunching random numbers on the fly, he has those common figures he utilizes memorized like a multiplication table, requirement of the job.
Genuine question Only 33 kills? a finish guy In WW2 had 200 confirmed kills meaning he could very well have indeed shot 400 but only 200 were actually confirmed, But 33 is very low in comparison. is this guy an assassin hired to just kill the odd bad guy or was he legitimately sitting in a war zone mowing down any enemy that walked past?
@@resiefan3258 you gotta also think proportionly to the size of the wars they both served in, and the transition away from ground forces "doing the dirty work". So while that Finnish man had the larger confirmed kills and this man only 33, I believe the impact of that might be comparable. I hope this helped, but I'm just a keyboard warrior with no outstanding study or experience to say what's what, so take it with a grain of salt
I love how he broke down the one-mile shot and just rolled his eyes when talking about all the factors, like rotation of the planet, wind (here, there, in between here and there), humidity, elevation, drop. You could take the same shot from a machine, and three bullets would land fifty feet from each other. But, it's Hollywood, and of course it might have happened with a ton of luck.
“Either really lucky, or after that after that get up and walk on water” I love how even when they’re acting clinical vets always have the best one liners 😂
"They could sleep in your attic and you wouldn't even know it. That's what special operation is like." Me who don't have an attic: *Looks under the bed menacingly.*
The formula for estimating range using mil dots is as follows: Range (in yards) = Size of Target (in inches) / Size of Target (in inches per mil) Here's a breakdown of the steps: Measure the size of the target in inches. In your example, the target is 40 inches tall. Determine the size of one mil. In the US military, the standard size is often considered to be 3.6 inches per mil. However, mil-dot scopes may have different subtensions (the size of the mils), so it's essential to know the specific subtension of your scope. Let's assume your scope uses 3.6 inches per mil. Divide the size of the target in inches by the size of one mil to get the range in yards: Range (in yards) = 40 inches / (3.6 inches/mil) = 11.11 yards per mil Now, if you said the target appeared 2 mildots high in your scope, you can calculate the range: Range (in yards) = 2 mildots x 11.11 yards/mil = 22.22 yards So, if the target is 2 mildots high in your scope, it is approximately 22.22 yards away. In your provided formula with X as 25.4, it seems like the conversion from inches to millimeters is happening.
Man is just casually like "yeah when sniping, you gotta take in things like, wind, distance, your round, angle, earth spinning, humidity, size of target, there mom's maiden name-" just casually
When you shoot super long distances all of these things are in effect. At 100 yards you just need a bit of bullet drop. Because as soon as that bullet leaves the barrel its dropping as fast as if you drop it out of your hand. Wind can push that bullet off course. At 8 or 900 yards, wind, bullet drop, humidity, at 1k + you start adding in curvature of the earth into play and rotation speed. Everything can effect your bullet trajectory. Professional sharpshooters tend to take LONG times to take a single shot. They weigh the grains of powder, the type of brass and the weight of the bullet itself into effect. It's a long process to get a real sniper shot at longer distances.
The Hurt Locker was a great movie and it's cool he points out that the sniper dialogue wasn't good because they weren't a sniper team which is some nice attention to detail in case it was done on purpose for the movie.
I was in both Helmand, Bahrain, and Kandahar while this guy was in Helmand and every location heard about him. It’s crazy to see him when all you’d ever do was hear about him.
X2, and a 20x scope at even 200 yards is quite shaky looking, even from a bench. Heck, even peep sights on my Win 94 at 110 yards to shoot a ram (reduced size) with the back sitting 7 inches high, is shaky, as we shoot standing and no support for the silhouette matches. As a person who grew up shooting and does various competitions for fun, I just shake my head at what people think they know from the movies, media, and news.
@@oceanhome2023 as soon as you get a good natural position, you relax, you breath slowly. Then your heartbeat starts screwing up the picture. Then you just shoot between the heartbeats. But yeah, the scope picture is never as steady as Hollywood makes out. Kinda like how looking through binoculars never makes that sideways 8 shape they use in Hollwood.
When he says. "People don't normally look like that when they get hit with a 50 cal. It's usually just a puff of moisture and mist" I wonder how many times he's seen that.
Not many, I’ve seen it once, but when the U.S military uses a 50 cal, it’s meant for vehicles, it’s too big of a rifle, you can’t conceal it that well, it’s too heavy, it’s too loud, everyone will hear you. It’s just impractical, but it is just a mist when it is used for an individual
Not too many probably, generally the barrett 50 cal is used for anti material rifle, meaning building and things like radio where you need to really damage it to disable it, it’s not as pinpoint accurate as other rifles and most rifles for precision shots are bolt action because they’re the most consistent
the same applies for many common stuff in war.. the movies/series and pc games made it look easy most of the time. I guess the only place you dont need to count, is as a common rifleman..
@Sargent Wells thats a little harder. yea an iron sight shot at 200 yards isn't a bad shot by any means. how experienced were you you when you made this shit? edit: shot instead of shit lol.
Yeah Nah. Thug? He's actually contributing to making the terrorist ratio go down to zero. And if you think that makes him a thug then maybe all of the military should stop going after those terrorists and we'll have a nice remake of 9/11.

I love listening to Nicholas Irving talk.

He's one of the people that really sets an incredible example of how our military personnel should be all the time. He sets such a good example.
If an example is a man who invaded foreign countries and killed dozens of those who protected their own country...well...no wonder we are still warring in 2022....
I feel like videos like this serve at least four different purposes at once. They entertain, they inform, they demonstrate just how uninformed most people are who have not had extensive training and experience with a complicated job, especially combat related, and they really show just how much research, time, and care go into getting a fictional depiction right.
Everyone "thinks" their a sniper, until they get behind the gun at an actual distance where the mathematics come in, (bullet drop, wind sheer, etc.) Then it's always the guns fault. It's not sighted properly, the ammo is wrong, oh, the wind picked up on a breeze less day. 😂😂 Seen it a hundred times. Patience is the snipers best friend.
I figure if you make it far enough that you actually become a sniper, get put in the field, and have to use the rifle, you should be prepared for factors like tedious/difficult math, wind, all that. @@shawndashno6022

The other scary thing he forgot to mention with saving private ryan is the fact that in order for a scope shot to work, the enemy sniper has to be dialed in on you perfectly too. It has been recorded on happening, once and only once. That means you both are staring at each other and you pulled the trigger first. You would have literally been a fraction of a second from death.
That shot was debunked in MYTH BUSTER. You can't fight math.
@@leoperidot482Apparently only because a different scope (a modern type) was being used which was unlike the one that Carlos Hathcock used.
For that to happen, shouldnt you actually aim the Gun of your target to allign the Scope for that shot? If the Angle is off even by one millimeter, you just crush the scope and nothing else.
Eh less than that tight. You would not try and intentionally shoot through a scope, so for it to happen it would be a guy turning to face you the second you fired. You definitely had at least a second or two before he truly reacted and tried shooting.
@@fearedjames no it is that tight. The lenses are curved inside that scope. Yes no sniper would ever intentionally aim there but they might be going for a headshot and the bullet happened to hit the scope. In order for that bullet to make it through the scope it has to hit exactly square on all lenses. Which also means the lenses in the hit scope have to be mounted perfect. Myth Busters did an amazing teat on this to show how hard it is to get a bullet to go through one.

The formula for estimating range using mil dots is as follows:
Range (in yards) = Size of Target (in inches) / Size of Target (in inches per mil)
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
Measure the size of the target in inches. In your example, the target is 40 inches tall.
Determine the size of one mil. In the US military, the standard size is often considered to be 3.6 inches per mil. However, mil-dot scopes may have different subtensions (the size of the mils), so it's essential to know the specific subtension of your scope. Let's assume your scope uses 3.6 inches per mil.
Divide the size of the target in inches by the size of one mil to get the range in yards:
Range (in yards) = 40 inches / (3.6 inches/mil) = 11.11 yards per mil
Now, if you said the target appeared 2 mildots high in your scope, you can calculate the range:
Range (in yards) = 2 mildots x 11.11 yards/mil = 22.22 yards
So, if the target is 2 mildots high in your scope, it is approximately 22.22 yards away.
In your provided formula with X as 25.4, it seems like the conversion from inches to millimeters is happening.

Man is just casually like "yeah when sniping, you gotta take in things like, wind, distance, your round, angle, earth spinning, humidity, size of target, there mom's maiden name-" just casually
When you shoot super long distances all of these things are in effect. At 100 yards you just need a bit of bullet drop. Because as soon as that bullet leaves the barrel its dropping as fast as if you drop it out of your hand. Wind can push that bullet off course. At 8 or 900 yards, wind, bullet drop, humidity, at 1k + you start adding in curvature of the earth into play and rotation speed. Everything can effect your bullet trajectory.
Professional sharpshooters tend to take LONG times to take a single shot. They weigh the grains of powder, the type of brass and the weight of the bullet itself into effect. It's a long process to get a real sniper shot at longer distances.

The biggest sin of sniping scenes in movies is the massive exaggeration of how much magnification a scope has.
X2, and a 20x scope at even 200 yards is quite shaky looking, even from a bench.

As a person who grew up shooting and does various competitions for fun, I just shake my head at what people think they know from the movies, media, and news.
Yeah in the movies got the battlefield 40x scope with no sway

@@ky-passley4769 🤣🤣🤣
Real Talk… literally.
Not many, I’ve seen it once, but when the U.S military uses a 50 cal, it’s meant for vehicles, it’s too big of a rifle, you can’t conceal it that well, it’s too heavy, it’s too loud, everyone will hear you. It’s just impractical, but it is just a mist when it is used for an individual
Not too many probably, generally the barrett 50 cal is used for anti material rifle, meaning building and things like radio where you need to really damage it to disable it, it’s not as pinpoint accurate as other rifles and most rifles for precision shots are bolt action because they’re the most consistent

@@vessylugaga24 that's just a game if you got shipped out to Afghanistan you'll shit your pants
This is an interesting and enjoyable video to watch. Mr. Irving does a fantastic job of explaining what he's seeing in each of the movie scenes.
*Sniper gets shot in the eye*
Nicolas Irving: “It really doesn’t get any better than that.”
I'm pretty stoned and laughed my ass off to this
Well, Saving Private Ryan still lives up to the most historically accurate movie portraying war. It's kind of like a Bible to anyone that has served.
Mythbusters busted that one. Impossible to shoot the bullet through the scope. So movie BS. But nice scene off course!
@@lekkerpruven887 that's why a lot of these "expert rate" videos are great. He could appreciate how cool it was, without needing to tell us it's just simply impossible.
Just started my channel where I take trucks into the mountains of Canada and bag on them. I'm hoping I can make some people laugh.
This man calculates the Earth rotation as well. He is the real life Deadshot.
It's actually called the Coriolis Effect what snipers use to gauge the rotation of the earth/curvature etc
Most well trained sniper should be able to do it; it's impressive yes, but not some unique skill held by a godly few.
Pilots have to do that and anyone doing something in the sky🤦♂️
Every sniper has to know the Coriolis Effect.
Lol
Real sniper with the nickname, The Reaper : *starts talking about the coriolis effect and how the earth is still spinning*
Me in sniping games : Haha gun go boom and head go splat
LMAOO
HAHAHA
Not a lot of comments can make me laugh out loud. This one was one of those comments that did. Well done.
Lol that was brilliant, good one.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your service! 30+ Kills in 3 months. WOW! I am just glad that you are in a better place today, with you family and earning a living. My dad and two brothers served for over 50 years, collectively. I am SUPER proud, BUT hate war, as most people do - everywhere. Thank you, again and INSIDER!
Snipers are just Deadly Mathematicians.
No offence but high school math where i live is more complicated than the math he was talking about . You dont have to be a "math genius" to be a good sniper.
*physicists
@@dossedaqarsnider7130 *go be a good sniper then*
@@SmokeyOwOs not at all interested in that profession, i am a computer scientist. I was just pointing out that the math he did is easy and you dont necessarily have to be a mathematician to be a good sniper, there are other skills that are way more crucial
@@dossedaqarsnider7130 They never said you have to be a math genius. All they said was that they are deadly mathematician. It only implies that they use math for deadly things. That's it.
Be very afraid of people who can do long division in their heads. You're an equation that's about to get solved.
I like what you did there 😂👏🏽
Yo thats badass
bro he divided 1016 by 2 chill
Cool analysis. why do I find it very funny
Screech
I love listening to Nicholas Irving talk. He's probably one of the deadliest people on the planet and at the same time he's so human, respectful and he really understands the weight of killing another human. He's one of the people that really sets an incredible example of how our military personnel should be all the time. He sets such a good example.
Deadliest? With a gun only. Everyone can kill with a gun.
@@neildobbs7278 right
If an example is a man who invaded foreign countries and killed dozens of those who protected their own country...well...no wonder we are still warring in 2022....
Super handsome and deadly I'd rate that 10/10!
Dic k riderrrrr 😂😂😂
I feel like videos like this serve at least four different purposes at once.
They entertain, they inform, they demonstrate just how uninformed most people are who have not had extensive training and experience with a complicated job, especially combat related, and they really show just how much research, time, and care go into getting a fictional depiction right.
Everyone "thinks" their a sniper, until they get behind the gun at an actual distance where the mathematics come in, (bullet drop, wind sheer, etc.) Then it's always the guns fault. It's not sighted properly, the ammo is wrong, oh, the wind picked up on a breeze less day. 😂😂 Seen it a hundred times. Patience is the snipers best friend.
I figure if you make it far enough that you actually become a sniper, get put in the field, and have to use the rifle, you should be prepared for factors like tedious/difficult math, wind, all that. @@shawndashno6022
This man is way smarter than I’ll ever be the way he was just multiplying and dividing those big numbers in his head for the distance and height
Its probably more experience than being a calculation genius
@@jackismname probably a mix of both tbh, some people are more inclined towards particular skillsets and some are to others.
@@jackismname He is clearly very intelligent. To do complicated mental maths in seconds, you have to be super smart. Hell, most people would not be able to do the math that quick even with a calculator lol. This guy has above average IQ and is smarter than most.
@@ezra5788 Yeah I would have to agree with you.
tbh if u do it for 6 yesrs ud probs be pretTy good LOL
Next: Suicide bomber rates 21 terrorist scenes in movies.
Not A very good one if he’s still alive
😂😂😂😂😂
Naphtali Samuel I was about to tell you the same thing
Lmfaooooo
Gotta get me one of them RUclips: Afterlife accounts. It's like $29.95 a month, though.
The moment his doing some math, I knew I will never be a sniper.
I mean, shooting a very specific round, from a specific gun with a specific scope at a specific distance and having it get carried by the wind, gravity, and possibly the rotation of the Earth is going to require a little bit of work if you expect to hit anything at all, ever, if it's any smaller than the side of a barn.
I get confused adding tax buying 3 items at the dollar store, this man is calculating the spin of the earth and the velocity of a .308 for a half mile shot in a split second.
@@stevebutters306 Not in a split second. He has tools. You should invest in a calculator and it will improve your shopping experience.
@@zuzusuperfly8363 I'm gonna buy a single pack of gum at my local dollar tree and harass the cashier by pulling out my TI-89 Platinum to calculate a 7% sales tax on a 1.00 dollar pack of gum.
@@stevebutters306 They have computers at the cash... that tell you... how much... your stuff costs...I mean... if 3 packs of gum is confusing, even with round numbers like that, you can wander into an isle and do it there... and get the change ready before you walk up... stacked by the size of the denomination. "Three packs of gum." "That'll be $3.20" Place the stacked coins into their hand with both fingers... If you have this level of difficulty, maybe you should buy gum in bulk or get a family member to do your shopping for you.
Nicholas is an expert in his field. As someone who has done similar work years ago, he’s not gonna be fooled with smoke and mirrors. I’d definitely choose him to be on my team!
This guy could teach physics and I would actually listen.
You just need bench press 300 repz a day and your physique Will good like captain america
True
No cap my guy I’m wit you
If you don't listen he could yeet a pen in the head across the classroom
I’d be going home to tell my mom I know how to kill someone from 500 yards
This guy deserves more props... he’s a special ops sniper and a damn mathematician
All of them are. They have to be
Sniper’s are extremely well trained in mathematics.
@@TheOfficialDaBoogaloo yeah I know that... a lot of the special forces training is in a classroom
@Scene Kyle
The sniper multiplied 40 by 25.4 in his head and solved it in under 1 second to workout which mil dot to take his shot from, being a sniper requires math
And an author. His books are really good too you should check them out
Love this guy. You can just tell that, as lethal as he is, he's a kind man.
Have u not seen him on demolition ranch
@@kristianbradshaw7139 I have not. Here on RUclips?
@@KyleCowden he's on demolition ranch and appeared multiple times
@Michael Myers no
@@kristianbradshaw7139 So... you are saying he's kind. WTF is your point? lol
Jesus how smart is this guy? I'm literally thinking I'm going to watch a fun Insider video about snipers and now I'm learning physics- and he's doing a better job at teaching it than my physics teacher did. Hat's off to you sir!!
Facts!
Yea, this shlt is insane
His name is “The Reaper” bruh that’s so badass.
Badass until you realize that killing people is atrocious and Is nothing like propaganda and the general glorification of killing for the "righteous cause" makes It sound.
@@theunholybakery1990 bruh who made your day bad...
@@theunholybakery1990 my man spitting facts.
@@RafailDn thank you.
@@theunholybakery1990 no shit. Guys like this are out there killing people so that u never have to
“Let’s say I had a target that was 40 inches tall...”
This man just got 20 times more terrifying...
@ELI G you mean kids? Since when are babies 1 meter tall
it doesn't matter if their a kid or baby, as long as their dead its fine
@@daytripper6779 I dont think that one is gonna go well man
Let's go post it to youtube, then
1m is like 10 years old. Jokes aside, usually it means someone's sitting down.
