Not exactly sure what we were watching but at that distance the crosshairs wouldn't be on the body.

You're watching a video game spliced with some dude with no helmet taking pot shots across the valley.

Yep.
Cooked footage.

That's a .50 BMG
There is some legit Canadian sniper footage of Talleys getting hit with a .50 BMG
There is no crosshair imagery, no heat sig imagery, just a camera zoomed into the targets.

When hit with a .50 BMG, the human body reacts like a digger squirrel getting hit with a 22-250.
Shi t is flyin' apart.
Ain't a pretty sight.

I would still like to see the video.

If you had all the [Bleeeeep!] dialed in , windage, drop whatever, couldn't you put the x on Mr Tali and fire away?

Where can I get one?

Only problem with owning a .50bmg, there's only
very few places to shoot them unless your in Eastern wa. There are a couple 1k yard ranges, one near ravensdale. Most ranges wont let you shoot them there...pretty hard on targets. I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

The cross hairs would be so many clicks up and so many clicks right or left plus you would have a spotter.

We know we can kill Talleys.
We can also make cool, pretend videos of Talleys getting drilled by .50 BMG's.

And just when Akmed Talley thinks it's safe to come out, along comes a Predator loaded with Hellfires.

They shouldn't fuk with us.
We like varmint hunting.

They should have a bulls-eye on their towels.

Good times.
