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.

Are you seriously going to question the cloth and the ground under it? OK, well then, as was posted on page #1, here is another video from the 2015 armed forces skill at arms meeting showing US and foreign soldiers shooting M4s and placing the magazine on the ground. How do you explain this? Did they all miss? If it doesn't work, why are so many of them doing it? You can rationalize all you want, it won't change the facts that this does work.

I attended SOTIC, I teach precision rifle courses and I shoot my M4 prone unsupported with the magazine on the ground, as do others, because it works, I promise.
Congrats on the house. Last time we linked up you were in an Apartment, not counting the BBQ Get together you had at old boys house a while back.
So are you going to accept the 60 round challenge I proposed above?
