They're shooting rabbits or some other small animals. This is NOT a sniper shooting terrorists - I wish it was, though.

from what I have read a few years ago, some one was shooting ground hogs(or like animal) in Nevada. the terrain looks similar to that of Iraq and Aphganistan, so someone posted it as a sniper video. i will post the story link when I find it.

ok here it is. You might have to copy and past link mentioned in this guys post.

"Fake fake fake fake.

This video has been circulating the internet for years now. It is not people that are being shot, it is prairie dogs/Richardson ground squirrels with a fast expanding bullet most likely a .22-250 or something similar.

Military bullets don't expand that quickly, in fact, they don't expand at all. Those violent expansions are from a very fast, small caliber round, most likely polymer tipped or hollow point.

EDIT: I can understand how people with minimal firearms knowledge would think that the big bad .50 would do this to someone. Especially after watching shows like "Future Weapons" and the like where they show it penetrating 6" of steel from 1 mile away etc. The fact is Penetration = no expansion. Expansion = no penetration. Very fast light bullets expand violently on impact and are used for smaller game. Heavyer bullets penetrate deeper and are used for larger game (and humans) to ensure that the vital organs are reached. Larger diameter bullets (.30 cal and up) never "explode" people like that and smaller diameter (.224) expand too soon on impact to reach vital organs (except when FMJ is used)"
