Another amazing video. I forget specifcally what season and episode number it was, but I would love to see the one that features Kari, Grant, and Torri testing various Hollwood car crash scenarios, which is where the line of Grant saying, "This is why we can't have anything nice" comes from. Also I would love to the one centered around breaking into safes. That's another favourite of mine.

one small thing: This was a comparison to modern equipment. But in for example world war 1 and world war 2 (where this myth could have originated), such specialized rounds may not yet have existed. So it could be much closer to a Hollywood like muzzle flash.

@simonhede4381 Ай бұрын

I imagine the muzzle velocity of the guns of that era was much lower than modern sniper rifles too.

@Ping_JJT7 Ай бұрын

I would assume you have a point there but I think a more significant factor to consider here is that the target was staring at the shooter, had knowledge of their intention to shot and that they are the target. Main point of the sniper is to eliminate target from a concealed position, meaning the target is not aware they are a target and are not staring directly at the shooter ready to jump away.

@pepebeezon772 Ай бұрын

They got it backwards. There is no specialized round to reduce muzzle flash. It's the movie flash round that IS the specialist round designed to be seen (they mix in more magnesium so the flash has a longer duration to be pick up by cameras and brighter flash). Smokeless powder haven't really changed since its introduction. If you want to make this argument you can say flash hiders are not in use in until early cold war. But the factor is the muzzle device, not the cartridge design.

@DavidRichardson153 Ай бұрын

@@pepebeezon772Flash suppressors are actually meant to protect the shooter from the muzzle flash rather than their target. I say "shooter" instead of "sniper" because snipers are hardly the only ones who use them. These things are meant for use in low-light conditions (e.g. night) to protect the shooter's natural night vision from the bright flash, so you can find them on just about any rifle, sniper or not. Now, because of this, it is theoretically possible to spot an unsuppressed muzzle flash in such conditions, but, just like with trying to spot a small pocket flashlight from a search plane, there is a big difference between the muzzle flash being 2-4 feet from the shooter's face to it being 100-400 yards from the enemy's. Even with that difference, because of the risk to their vision, the shooter would not forego a flash suppressor under such conditions anyway, so the muzzle flash is pretty much guaranteed to never be seen. Even in daylight conditions, flash suppressors are still used, especially by those who would be storming a building, where the lighting conditions can fluctuate wildly, so no matter what, no one would be seeing the flash.

My cousin and very best mate dodged a round from a .50cal machine gun mounted on a Toyota Hilux when he was in Afghanistan serving with the Australian SASR. Although, it's not exactly the same scenario as the myth, so it doesn't really count. He was part of an operation that saved a bunch of American Marines in a downed helicopter and was subsequently awarded a bronze star for what happened that day. He said he never saw the muzzle flash, but he saw the enemy notice their location and ducked for cover when he saw them point the gun at him and his boys. However one of the boys with him didn't see it, so he stood back up, tackled him to the ground and the round just barely glanced his camelback drink pack he was wearing. He's still got the camelback with the fat line of burnt fabric from the round, hanging on his office wall. At the time he was a captain and he's still in the army, although in a different capacity and at the rank of Major. I'm writing a screenplay, or potentially a mini series, based on all the stories him and his mates have shared with me over the years. It's complicated though, because of the official secrecy laws we have here and the requirement that the government has to approve pretty much everything, as they're well aware that I'm writing straight from the horse's mouth. As the saying goes. Even then I wanted to be careful what details I put in, because they make me change all sorts of things so the servicemen involved can't be identified. It's unbelievably frustrating, but they do cooperate. Sort of.

@@AkiSan0 I think he'd agree with that... Not the same as seeing the muzzle flash and moving out of the bullet's path when you were directly in its way. It's just a fun story he likes to tell over beers that has made its way into the script I've been working on. Thought it'd be fun to drop in here too. And yes, he considers it a fun story to tell. He's got some sort of weird autism spectrum disorder that makes him totally immune to experiencing any sort of anxiety, stress or trauma. It's bizarre to observe, his wife's a shrink and even she agrees. Should make for an interesting character dynamic though.
