Did you watch yesterday's (12 April, 2007) Thursday Mythbusters?
They got the sniper rifle scope myth wrong!
- Communist/Vietcong sniper scopes during the Vietnam war tended to look like tubes more than the modern ones, which mythbusters chose. If Grant the dummy (or the VC sniper) had the genuine scope, they might have had a better choice. A straighter scope makes it easier to shoot through. Also, VC scopes at the time, I believe, used metal for the scope tube.
- The Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock had used an older sniper rifle as his weapon in vietnam. Mythbusters could have used that.
- Use a Full metal Jacket Armor Piercing round, not those puny regular ammunition. (I don't know what they used, but civilians usually don't use a FMJ bullet.
- Go get professional military snipers to do the job, with their own rifles.
However, I did read off some forums that the Mythbusters will redo the myth.

I missed that episode. I'll have to look for a replay somewhere.

Geez...
Those youtube moderators have deleted all detailed myths from youtube because they violate copyrights.
Well, I recorded the whole thing and you might want it.
Do You?
Never mind. I can live missing one episode, I guess.
