yes it was it was great movie
This shouldn’t be that surprising, and it’s no disgrace to the Navy Seal. There are lots of good amateurs in many areas. there are probably a lot of unknown karaoke singers who can sing as well or better than famous stars.
Two shots, from static firing positions, no time pressure, hardly a contest.
Marcus Luttrell - a humble man of Honor and distinction. One I admire and pray for.
Meaningless.
The best shooting “I” have ever done was at the Red Castle Gun Club 28 years ago. Before witnesses I put three shots in one hole from a prone position using an International Harvester M-1 Garand! THREE SHOTS!
Unfortunately it was the “sight in” phase of a rifle shoot and did not count.
I have NEVER been able to do it again. Bummer.
Or survive everything Marcus did. His book says it all
Precisely. I don’t care for the article.
ABSOLUTELY!
I understand your point. But here is a funny story. My 30 year old son in law had never fired a weapon in his life. I took him shooting. He wasn’t very good with a handgun. I put an AR15 in his hand and he was hitting the bullseye after two pulls of the trigger.
He said looking through the red dot was like a video game.
Clearly, this was not hunting or combat but for a first trip to the range...he was exceptional.
he might be ready for uav combat...
There are SEALS trained to be sharpshooters. We know one. He is also qualified to do surgery out in the wild. His sharpshooting skills saved his team and got him the Medal of Valor.
So Lutrell isn’t a sniper. He still did stuff that only a few can do.
My money is still on Marcus in a firefight when the rounds are buzzing past your head like wasps.
