Nicholas Irving, author and former soldier, rates 8 sniper scenes for realism in movies. Known as “The Reaper,” Irving says he killed 33 enemies as a sniper for the US 3rd Ranger Battalion. He is the co-author of “Reaper: Drone Strike: A Sniper Novel.”
Irving rates the realism of classic war movies such as “Clear and Present Danger” (1994), and “Enemy at the Gates” (2001). He breaks down long-range-sniping scenes featuring Will Smith in “Gemini Man” (2019) and Mark Wahlberg in “Shooter” (2007).
He also looks at modern-day war movies set in Iraq and Afghanistan, such as “American Sniper” (2014), “Lone Survivor” (2013), and “The Hurt Locker” (2009). Irving rates the realism of the weapons used, along with body position, stealth, and environment.

When the rich get half of their wealth taken from the divorced wife. You need a sniper on speed dial🤣🤣🤣
"mark e mark wouldve been dead if i was on that other end" could have ended it with a "oh oh, oh oh oh"
Dude's got massive biceps for his size/ What a beast.
dude how is your PTSD? 33 kills..
doh – still calling my dude ‘Marky Mark’ all this time later 😂
33 bodies…cabalistic number
Why'd they cut the scene from saving private ryan?
Damn he said the Coriolis effect. I can only do pemdas
Isn't that yassop?
(There’s not much to a sniper rifle) the inside (⚙️📡📟📽️📽️📽️📟🎚️🔋⏰🔋🔋⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️⛓️⛓️) nevermind.
I wonder why they removed the scene in Saving Private Ryan
Can yall shut up ab a sniper having to be good at fuckin math🤣everybody else beat you to it
Chuck Mawhinney (103) had more kills than Carlos Hathcock (93).
4:30, 40 inches tall is only 3 feet 4 inches…
Thank you😺
Was hoping to see saving private Ryan tho
Had to turn this off when he gave American Sniper a 7. Considering it's based on a true story and the greatest sniper in history helped in production and knows how many shots he took. Sorry bud. Use all the technical lingo you want. You are no Chris Kyle. Go critique someone you can actually measure up against.
Back in the day, they never let us train with a scope, we had to train to shoot with the naked eye, rear sight to the front sight –it actually made us better snipers, the instructors use to say if you can see it, you can hit it … I could hit a target 600 meters away right in the head no problem!!!! And I prefer it that way!!!
So glad all my favorite movies on this list got a high score!
