LOL, first off the mag in that video is "not" on the ground. (I started laughing as soon as I saw him, the gun and the cloth.)

Second we don't have a clue how much cloth it's sitting on or how much straw is under it. When I employed the sniper rifle I always tried to sit it on some sort of cloth, be it a woobie, a hat, a rucksack etc. instead of the ground. The cloth ensured it didn't jump and it stayed in place for the subsequent shots.

We can agree to disagree, but I don't think you're going to find "trained" snipers (and not a 2-3 day police marksmanship course) that would be willing to shoot like the joker in that video. Let's see him do the same thing on a hard ground, say rocks and such or a sidewalk or street, "without the cloth".

He's "busted" no myths, especially shooting myths.

(And I live in a house that I own.....)
