He's actually in a fairly correct shooting position... for a pistol.

[–]Wadovski 11 points12 points ago

playing Doom.

[–]FrankyMcPlurPants 15 points16 points ago

He did that on purpose, I think. I'm pretty sure I've seen the build up part of that video, but also you can tell from the way he tries to brace his shoulders and neck to take the blow. Also, not that it really matters, but that's not a sniper rifle. Looks like a 30-30 or maybe a < .275 carbine with a very small scope, maybe 4 x 32 or 6 x 44, sniper rifles would have a much longer barrel, likely not a wooden stock, though possible, and a scope that would be twice that, both in size and in power. Both of those calibers ( or whatever other calliber it might be) create a pretty good recoil, but not what a sniper rifle would do. Signed, one of the probably < .1% of reddit that hunts. I apologize in advance.

Fellow hunter, I always chuckle when people call anything with a scope and a stock a sniper rifle. To me, a sniper rifle is long, black, tactical, and designed with the intent of shooting at people.

[–]AbsurdWebLingo 1 point2 points ago

Well, to be fair, the weapon was not called a "sniper rifle" but the shooter called a sniper. A title which can be obtained by merely shooting a snipe with any sort of weapon, or of course being trained with actual sniper weaponry.

If people like Simo Häyhä, Vasily Zaytsev, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, etc hold it, it's a sniper rifle. I don't care if it's a curtain rod loaded with a .22 short topped with a paper towel roll, it's a sniper rifle at that point!

[–]driftsc 1 point2 points ago

looks like a Marlin Model 30AW. comes with a 4x scope stock, and that fancy sling too.

[–]NOACeulemans[S] 0 points1 point ago

I didn't call it a sniper rifle...

But yeah, it looks like it was done on purpose, might even be faked and sped up for the actual impact (note you never see any sort of muzzle flash or smoke puff).

[–]Einherion 0 points1 point ago

as a hunter as well, i think you would benefit from this, and probably have fun with it as well!

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

[–]JonathanWarner 5 points6 points ago

Little did the onlookers know that Jim incapacitated eight men with that shot. Including himself.

[–]starfishluvsyou 4 points5 points ago

Everything he does in this makes me uncomfortable.

[–]KreegsMcSteves 3 points4 points ago

Not going to lie, I'm a little let down. I was expecting the world's most skilled sniper.

[–]Fulmetalmaster 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't , I was expecting a guy in prone around the corner that shots the first guy he sees in the foot making fun of some of the call of duty games.

[–]Jridge1424 10 points11 points ago

Someone who jumps up and down like that shouldn't be handling a gun, let alone a sniper rifle.

[–]thejbrand 2 points3 points ago

He is clearly the manliest of men.

[–]Squirtle07 0 points1 point ago

Funny cause its not a sniper rifle...

[–]VikingSlayer -1 points0 points ago

That's a hunting rifle, not a sniper rifle...

[–]obeyofwg 0 points1 point ago

Your totally right but I think he was getting to get hit by the gun cause it looks like he did it on purpose.

[–]dragborn 2 points3 points ago

Yea, to me it looked like he was dared to do it and was trying to pump himself up to do it

[–]Zachary9 -2 points-1 points ago

"your totally right" ... twitch

[–]Archie420 2 points3 points ago

see what happens when Mom takes away the video games...

[–]i_criii_evertim 1 point2 points ago

Ah the 'ol kick back to the face trick! Gets 'em every time

[–]VeRiTaS_CuRaT 1 point2 points ago

I smell sarcasm. Anyone else?

[–]elbruce 11 points12 points ago

Nope, just teen spirit.

[–]Nerapelagious -2 points-1 points ago

Best response in history

[–]elbruce 3 points4 points ago

Waited 20 years to drop that joke.

[–]K3TtLek0Rn 0 points1 point ago

[–]Hakrim89 1 point2 points ago

why would you do that??

[–]Wadovski 2 points3 points ago

Alcohol and bad friends.

[–]Hakrim89 1 point2 points ago

most likely

[–]smitty046 0 points1 point ago

If you have ever shot a gun before, you know that's a bad idea.

[–]blink0r 0 points1 point ago

I started to cringe long before he took the shot.

[–]LuckyCharms429 1 point2 points ago

I'm surprised he didn't stare down the barrel too...

[–]hazingpledges 0 points1 point ago

it's a pirate's life for him

[–]Spudymo 0 points1 point ago

Fucking retard.
