Very entertaining, but you do have to wonder how they got the videos showing the image in the scopes of the shooter and the spotter. Any chance this might have been staged? Just maybe?????

Ted,have you seen the binoculars that also take pictures or movies of what you are looking at? That same technology can be applied to rifle scopes.

As I stated in my thread response, this clip was from the MOVIE, "Generation Kill"... the entire movie was a..... movie.

Every time I try to open a video on the Military sight nothing happens. The pictures come up fine. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for any help, Carey

This is obviously staged for a movie. A sniper has enough to do without being encumbered with video equipment and attendant operators. The job is dangerous enough without that kind of distraction. From an ex sniper, Maurice ( The Brit )

No, I've never seen binoculars that take pictures. I've seen cameras that can be attached to scopes (and binoculars, I guess) but binoculars that take pictures without any camera mechanism involved (either built-in or attached) seem something of a stretch.

But I think you missed my point.

The video showed footage purporting to be the image the sniper saw when he pulled the trigger and hit his targets (did you see the blood spatter?). If there was a camera attached to the sniper's scope, HOW COULD HE AIM HIS RIFLE? Answer: the whole thing was staged, with a camera in place of the shooter.

But you could see the scope outline around the outer edge of the video - doesn't that prove that it was a photo taken through the scope? Answer: Nope. Movies are routinely "cropped" to give the impression of looking through binoculars or scopes, when that's what the script calls for. It's just a process of substituting black for a shaped portion of the the picture. Very easy to do.
