Often the spotter is the better sniper but the shooter is a more accurate shot. sniping is maths and shit

​@@NostalgiaVivecMakes sense. The world's longest shot had to take in account of the Earth rotating.

really depends on the unit, its role, and their current mission. Marine Recon Snipers can do it either way, where as something like the rangers or other special forces have designated men and dont switch out.

@@tonypeppermint5329 and curvature. bullet drop wind speeds etc. that must have been one hell of a shot though.

@@NostalgiaVivec Forgive me for my martial ignorance, neighbor, but... wouldn't being the more accurate shot make one the better sniper? I feel like I'm lacking a keystone of broader context here.

Also while I got you here, what is the ending referencing? I feel like it's foreshadowing something but I'm not sure

@@RoanokeGamingJon has a monologue about how he’s haunted by the image of that old man reading his book, because they killed him shortly after that. So when we see it at the end, it shows us that Jon is still haunted and still has a long way to go before he’s free of his guilt. Also, fun fact: the guy in the window is my dad. He had a good time getting domed.

You made a really good movie😃🙏

my dyslexic ass read that as "casual" for a moment and i was really confused lol

Another possibility although it's a bit of a situation similar to your idea is PTSD had started to set in already but unlike for most his brain latches onto the creature instead of a Battle or such and for those who hear/see them but claim it's nothing is most likely them trying to rationalize it

@@sevronoNot even a dyslexic thing because I had the same problem lol

John lost his shit and driven by guilt and ptsd, imagined the entire mission. John with his camo jacket off is black like the creature and beheads Marco, (who coincidentally with the cryptid, has a head and rib wound) with the found American issue knife. The hand with the blades has finger nails similar to John’s own hand wielding a blade. The creature in the window is his own reflection and the banging shed door was in his own backyard from the wind. (Thanks for also noticing the shitbag colonel’s improper rolled up sleeves and the constant chambering of the rifle 😊)

@@ceresofthestarsthat's such a cool fkn idea

⁠turns out we were the creepy pasta the whole time

Sounds like the creature in the Ritual, somewhat.

The idea of a creature that specifically hunts people with trauma-related mental illnesses is inherently pretty disturbing. Whatever else it might be, something that does that clearly isn't a normal animal. If it does it intentionally, then it's sadistic. If it just does it naturally, then that renders it obviously supernatural and most likely associated with evil.

@@NyanCatHerder It would absolutely be supernatural but wouldn't necessarily be evil. While we have made some(not enough in my opinion) strides in caring for people suffering from mental illness, there was a very long period of time where the mentally ill of all kinds were ostracized. Humans are a social species and, as we evolved, getting one of us alone would be difficult. As a result, the creature would find it easier to go after the already separated and would likely use it's supernatural abilities to expedite the process. It would just be an adaptation in hunting based on how it's prey behaved.

​@RoanokeGaming your commentary makes it even better LOL

​​@@RoanokeGamingYeah ditto what he said. It seemed like you were a little worried about going off topic and alienating your audience. Let me tell you that the more supernatural cryptid stuff fits your type of content to a tee, and I as well as the rest of your viewers(in my opinion) enjoy it just as much as your science fiction content. The only time I think it would go too far off topic is if you started focusing on 100% supernatural stuff like the conjuring that can't be dissected in your scientific manner.

This thing also regularly eats things that are highly toxic to you (chocolate, caffeine, raisins, etc.), enjoys things that cause you pain (our weird obsession with hot peppers) and likes to wear the skins of whatever it kills, as well as display the heads of these kills.

@sinjin8576 Oh I don't have to imagine being hunted by something like that because my son's imagination is just like mine when I was younger and he thinks up weird stuff like that! He'll find a stick on the ground when we're walking and pretend that it is a magic stick that can turn into anything he wants, like say, a lightsaber or gun LOL! And no matter what I say I do to him, he has either an impenetrable force field or regenerates almost instantly and he can't be killed LOL! Oh The imagination of a child!

Watership Down maybe?

and then you see an imitation of your dead friend hung up on a wall, never rotting, like he's been trapped by the predator.

(Looks at the internet and today's culture) Are you sure about that?

@@williamking331 well yeah most humans don't go out hunting other large predators as often anymore, but it was a thing for long enough that animals like bears and large cats had to adapt

The way you can tell we're the top is to look at the traits of our monsters and see that they're reflections of us. We made up stories about things that hunt us with the same drive, determination, and hard headed persistence that we used when we hunted. We basically took the traits that make us so dangerous and made it more like an animal.

@@Giganotus when u are so used to being the cat that u forget other creachers used to be your mouse, or to put it simply, were so used to comfert and not needing to hunt (a domestic cat) we've forgotten other animels were our prey at some point (our mouse)

@@ryanfolan3 the spear is still used for hunting lions exactly because they pounce. You prepare the spear they pounce and impale themself. For pack animals it totally depends on the amount you meet. The whole discussion of the film is based on a one on one.

Here’s an idea to make the movie more interesting Only those with ptsd can see it

​@@kingfordvr5863 like some kind of silent hill projection lol

Damn.

nah

That's interesting, but I like the thought that interdimensional demons just hunted us at one point and someone swore to make us smart enough to kill them and when they came back for regular feeding they saw us building nuclear bombs and just noped out

There's a short documentary called "Fair Chase" in which scientists have a small group of humans try persistence hunting techniques in Africa.

Name of the story?

@@biggerdickus love the name btw. Had to look it up since it’s been a minute since I read it... Scary Stories for Young Foxes (2019) by Christian McKay Heidicker

@@Ratat0skr0 Thanks! My brother Biggus Dickus always felt jealous of my name, he has a wife you know?

I was wondering why you’d read that to your kid but then I remembered that I probably read and watched worse

@@____Carnage____ I remember Animorphs being much worse. Pretty sure my mom would just bring interesting books based on cover or title but Thieves’ World by Robert Asprin messed with me for a while. One story has a guy going into his painting and meeting gods but nothing was right from what I remember. Think I was 10-12 when I read it.

Funny enough I've written a monster that does exactly this to people when they see it, and will actively terrorize people they don't like XD

I believe there was another movie that had something similar. It was revealed that the main character was suffering from schizophrenia, but there was also a creature going around. Im really trying to remember what the movie was, as it was really good.

​@@nicupetricas9718 Geralds game vaguely fits your description

​@@nicupetricas9718Oh man, I've seen this movie your mentioning as well.

Thanks for watching my man!

I agree 100%, combining the two is much more interesting and palatable for the non-sciencey.

I couldn't agree more.

Finger pistols and say "absolutely" atleast thats how I act whenever anyone thanks me for anything

I feel this heavy.

My dad always just responds to being thanked for his service with, "Thank you, I appreciate it."

Had a customer stare at my forearm crutch for a long time and go "....thank you for your service" I've never served, I'm just a young disabled person that keeps my hair short for convenience sake

​@emmettmcnally740 Ak-ward, I think the person was just had to reason why you had a crutch, and came to a conclusion.

The spotter is generally the better 'sniper'.

I'm also wondering how often do we actually send only a sniper and a spotter? I thought they're usually attached to larger units so it's not just 2 men agaisnt an entire enemy force.

@@tarektechmarine8209 No. I'm doubting that. I've never had someone who spots for me shoot better than me.

@@ralcogaming7674 They are. The smallest I'd wager to say a team will be is 4. I worked in a 4 man team.

@nobal7839 that's what I thought. Most of them are with units and even if they end up in smaller teams it's not just 2 guys. Always confuses me when I see it done this way.

That actually makes some decent sense. Lone prey is easier to hunt so the ability to make a group ostracize your prey would be super useful. Especially if you are adapting to hunting social creatures like humans.

Man this creature must have been really pissed when we invented therapy And insane asylums.

You got it right... that's why Marco, the women sniper and Jon's wife see the creature ... they all were at there most damaged and vulnerable states.

I loved "Why you should always go for the head when hunting Cryptids!" Ummm...Yeah that basically explains any kind of creature you would come across! I mean, I'm not gonna go for a kneecap shot and try to wound it if it's terrifying looking, has big ass teeth, and looks like it wants to make a Happy Meal out of me. I'm going for the center-mass heart or insta-kill headshot right away!

An elk will not immediately hightail it out of there if a human is nearby, well, if it's a bull elk in rutting season it won't. Generally speaking, humans are also gamey with lots of bone and not much fat, so carnivorous animals rarely see humans as worth the effort to kill and eat. Plus, most of those heavy animals you mentioned are herbivores, they won't eat humans anyway, but cornering an animal like a deer or a moose is a terrible idea, if they can't run and feel their life is in danger, they'll charge. Stay away from their young and nests/caves too, it's like breaking into someone's house at that point. As a hunter, I expect you to understand this, but I absolutely expect there to be some people so disconnected from nature to think it's a good idea to get close to a bear cub because of the cute noises it makes as it's calling out to a very angry mama bear. Another issue is over-expansion of human living spaces, if animals are forced to be around humans more and more, they get less and less afraid as time goes on and they become more comfortable approaching human dwellings. For smaller animals, this is less of an issue, but an animal like a coyote might see a small dog/cat/child as a meal of opportunity if it hasn't eaten in a while. Again, less so for you as an outdoorsman and hunter, and more for anyone else who isn't aware of just how quickly an animal that feels threatened/hungry/accepting of humans can become a potential life and death situation, they are wild animals after all. Also, bed bugs are worse than mosquitos by far, those little bastards are awful once an infestation gets out of hand.

I agree 100%, I grew up on the east coast of Canada. My extended family were big into hunting/fishing and we lived in the middle of nowhere (there recent wildfires actually destroyed my childhood home). Any animal we came across would flee from us except one black bear who was enjoying the contents of our garbage in spring time after hibernation! I went right back inside my house and got the day off school lol Now I live in Scotland, about a 5 minute walk from a peat bog nature preserve where native species of deer have been reintroduced. There are no hunters and no predators. These deer have never encountered any danger other than the natural elements, not even rabies or that crazy deer illness. They still bolt away as soon as they see my dog and I hiking the trail. I’ve seen them see my border collie, they stop grazing and look up, interested but not spooked, tails flicking ears forward. Then they see me and book it. The bucks hang back to let the doe go first. Some of my friends here don’t get it because they’ve not been around that kind of hunting culture. The most exposure they see are the fox hunts of the upper class, the poaching of the travellers or just regular fishing. The only real shooting is target practise with those clay pigeon things.

"Also destroy all mosquitoes" Unfathomabley based

@@scootza1 thank you I appreciate that

@@Valkod23 your 100 percent correct I was more so talking about surprising or hunting the animal when they smell or see you they usually bolt and yeah Moose are far more dangerous than bears but a moose if it smells you or sees you at a distance will usually run not true with grizzlies. They may run, charge, or do one then the other I just don’t trust em like that guy who thought he scared of a sow with cubs near Yellowstone and then she charged back and mauled him. But, Surprising or cornering any large NA mammal is good way to end up 6 feet under. Also bedbugs are on the list same as mites and ticks

great times!

Agreed.

Sweet! Man made horrors beyond my comprehension!

You got me on the ostriches and penguins lol

You named birds. No bird has four legs. When one speaks frivolously of "animals" it usually leans toward speaking on mammals. Which none are 100% walkers. Hell marsupials like kangaroo or wallaby are the closest to two legged animals but they use their forearms when "walking" versus just their hind legs to jump

You may not feel like you did anything but it is appreciated regardless. Its a complex machine with many moving parts and every part is important IMO

Don't feel awkward. Accept the thanks. I dont give it as a throw away platitude, or because it's the PC thing to do. I mean it when I say it. I was too afraid to join up after 9/11 myself. It wasn't fear of fighting or dying that made me stop in front of the recruitment center and do a 180. No, I am actually a pretty scrappy asshole and I thrive in chaotic situations. No what terrified me was submitting. Putting MY life, MY will into the hands of others. Allowing myself to become a piece on a chessboard in a game I had no control over. A game I may not even want to play. Trusting a chain of command which inevitably led to some civilian in a suit ordering or voting to order a pawn like myself to places I may not think we should go, to kill or be killed by men I may not think we should fight, over shit that I may never understand. What I mean is it takes a different kind of courage, a special kind of faith, or a severe lack of imagination to sign on that dotted line and give all that you are and all that you may ever be (a husband, father, etc.) into the care of people at the top who may not see you, they may just see a number, a percentage, maybe a rounding error. An expendable rounding error! Now as I said, these are just my fears. Possibly even just paranoia. Maybe, but listening to what statements from veterans of recent conflicts, and what motivated them to fight, I cant help but notice many, if not most, say they just fight to protect their brothers and sisters by their side. I hardly ever hear them claim to be motivated by whatever the overall mission goals were. If they even knew them... BUT! That is just my perception, my fears or paranoia. And no matter the reason, no matter what motivated you or anyone who joined up and fought, and no matter what shit you had to go through, what shit you had to do or see, whether it be things amazing and fulfilling, or the awful stuff of nightmares best forgotten. Even if you never left the country and worked at a desk at some base in "Nowhere" North Dakota... Because you had that courage, or faith or whatever it is that I lacked to risk your ass trusting in those with power and authority, when I say "Thank you" I am not playing lip service, or going with what is politically correct. I mean every damn word of it. You are all better men and woman than I could ever be, and I do my damndest to try to deserve what that kind of service and sacrifice has provided. It is inevitable that it gets taken for granted, hell I take it for granted. We're so protected, safe, and comparatively rich here in the US its impossible not to take it for granted. But that luxury of a carefree existence is not free. Many pay for it. Many pay everything for it. I was not one of them, but I am grateful to the ones that have and continue to pay for this. So yeah, when some people thank you, they do it to make themselves feel good. Thats gotta be awkward, as most of them are so fake and transparent. Some of us though, we mean it everytime

My habit's always been sort of deflecting with a "Well, I haven't done that much, but thank you."
