DAA, again, you are the man. I only wish some of my videos could make it around the world like your "Iraq Sniper Video" has.

DAA explains, this is the reason he started putting his website tags on his clips:
Quote: At the risk of crass commercialism, I hope y'all don't mind too awful much that I put my website url on all my clips. Long story, but one of my rock chuck hunting clips got jacked and misrepresented all over the internet as being "taliban" getting whacked by a sniper using a .50 caliber. Been putting the ugly url on all my clips since...

The email had the video as an attachment, but this is the same one:



Here is DAA's site: http://www.rmvh.com/

Here's the 4th email I got on this video, this one just arriving this morning:

Subject: Canadian snipers in Afghanistan

Interesting to watch. These video shots are not made through the shooter's telescopic sight... they are made looking through the
spotter's scope. The spotter lies right next to the sniper and helps the sniper to find and Home in on the target. The sniper is using a 50 calibre rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8 inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself is one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches long.

Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban is lying on Top of the peak in front of you... when you hear the shot fired....
watch what happens. The sniper is also about a half mile away... or more.

A Canadian sniper in Afghanistan has been confirmed as hitting an enemy soldier at a range of 2,310 meters, the longest recorded and confirmed sniper shot in history. The previous record of 2,250 meters was set by US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967. The Canadian sniper was at an altitude of 8,500 feet and the target, across a valley, was at
9,000 feet. Canadian sniper units often operated in support of US infantry units, which were grateful for their help. The record lasted only one day, until a second Canadian sniper hit an enemy soldier at 2,400 meters (8000 feet).

The Canadian snipers fire special .50-calibre McMillan tactical rifles, which are bolt-action weapons with five-round magazines. The Canadian snipers were the only Canadian troops operating without helmets or flak jackets as they had too much other equipment to carry. Each three-man team has one sniper rifle, three standard rifles (Canadian C7s), one of them with a 203mm grenade launcher.

You should see that YouTube link, and all of the debates swearing up and down that those are people. :roflol:

Unbelievable... That stuff just refuses to die!

What kills me, is how many times I'll post into one of these discussions and explain exactly what the clip really is, and offer up pretty much irrefutable evidence to back up what I'm saying. Yet when I check back a week later, people are STILL saying retarded stuff like "you can clearly see a human arm" or "I'm an imagery analyst in the Air Force and that terrain doesn't exist anywhere on earth except Afghanistan", or all kinds of kooky stuff.

It's kind of sad, really, just how many people are so easily swayed by a few images and a bogus story. Sad, and scary too when you consider that many of them are U.S. citizens of voting age!

I like the part in the video where the Taliban guy is sneaking along the rocks and gets hit with the 50 cal sniper rifle. You can clearly see in the video where his leg goes flying off.

Heck... You can see all FOUR of this Taliban's legs getting blown off.

"Those are real kills, they are arms and torso portions after being ripped apart by an anti aircraft bullet being used on people"

My wrecked eyes can't make out what's really going on in the film -- is that just a hunting film made in Utah?
