when is the it may have been this it may have been the world record Shot but when is the first time that you got immediate feedback from somebody that you killed um you saw you saw them hit that was that one well no no but I was a spotter on this shot so there's something about this shot that like it's interesting because the news got it wrong anything that's out there got it completely wrong soybeans very much a team sport we had uh Shooters set up so sorry I'll back up a bit once the push
actually happened the Iraqis um pushing from the north south to try and get uh ice is kind of out the south end of the city but really it ended up being very concentrated in like the city center when that started it was like you're just watching a battle there's like Humvees the [ __ ] sending v-bids they're just like any everything to have there's Choppers [ __ ] soldiers on the street so we're perpendicular watching this fight happen in front of us um so when that started we came like from behind the the little opening
and we set up like on these big tables like still sucked in a little bit to the window but like we were in a fight we weren't so concerned being three and a half kilometers away that they're gonna be like taking fire from Iraqis and they're like oh maybe someone's over there um it's just very it appeared to be very confusing for them so we first day they started pushing it was still a little bit out of range for us we sent some rounds at vbids that were like because we would hear over like uh
what's it called like icon chatter that they're doing it um we're seeing I can't remember if it was live or like the same day like videos they were posting about it and you'd see it drive down in these [ __ ] like uh vehicle porn ID explosions weren't insane like none of the airstrikes compared to these things going off oh okay [ __ ] shake the whole Shake everything work three kilometers four kilometers away it's just like everything but crazy huge explosion so we there was a couple of rounds fired these guys like because we
knew that like we could see them they're trying to get to where the Iraqis are as close as possible and set these things off so we're like maybe this API around will get it early or whatever it was super that was like 4K anyway that was like getting up the hill so it was probably just around four kilometers uh it was getting really hard to see where those like damn the the corrections would be given I think it was a second day so the fighting was an interesting like um time frame it would be super
early morning till like lunch time and then it would just like die right down just after lunch maybe so that day started the routine of like our sniper team both teams would be up on the guns on the glass super early like four o'clock in the morning at one o'clock we'd almost go back to like op routine like switching through watching it took a couple days to figure that out but it was just I found it strange that I'm like stopping like after lunch time like like and everyone yeah it's like there's a little bits
of movement here and there but I'm like it was it was weird jobs I interviewed another guy who was there around that time frame he actually created these painted these uh oh okay he was a seal J Tech and he said the exact same thing yeah good morning it was hot and then yeah boom nothing yeah and so we would get like we would either be ready to go or someone come wake us up they're moving inside where we just get on the guns and start going um so viva's far out it's the fight sort
of started angling towards us in one of the guys so there's two teams and we rotated so my buddy was on the gun I was spotting or TL uh was spotting on the gun hit a guy with a Ricochet at like probably around 35 3600. we're like holy [ __ ] like we're we're trying to guide the fight with sniper fire we're thinking we can hit these guys like these guns are accurate we're on everything we know all the [ __ ] ranges and all the dope like this is like the Pinnacle of all the
things we've been ready for for the first time like you'd see someone get hit at 35 whatever it was I don't know the exact range of that one for like [ __ ] crazy originally like hit the gun leg they had these motorbikes that went around the [ __ ] Battlefield picking up their injured and like bringing them back somewhere like wow and it just kind of started creeping forward um and so for the like the the longest confirmed shot that was I want to say it was like mid-morning a second the second or the
second day of the push Maybe um there was a building some Fighters retreated to um so the Iraqis were pushing to see them see ice is firing a couple sniper rounds they they ran into this this building we'd see no civilian movement there at all like I don't even think ever in that whole thing so there's like three or four guys in there we called uh an airstrike and it was like a dud it's like I can't remember what you call it but like like [ __ ] all happened and we're like well but then
this fighter out of the Second Story starts lowering his like his assault vest and his AK and I saw it and I was like okay corner of I can't even remember what we were calling it um I'm like guys there simultaneously telling the same thing like the guys coming out there he is here's your dope Winkle send when it's like a tense just under 10 second flight time 10 seconds yeah it's like nine nine point something flight time you guys have this calculated out you know how long it's gonna take to get there yeah oh
yeah yeah yeah right did he kill him yep what you have to yeah I'm not a sniper okay sorry yeah like time of flight is is super important because it gives you a lead if someone's moving gives you like is it even like if a guy's running you're like no it's useless to shoot him if 10 seconds later it's [ __ ] fast 80 meters down the road um I've never shot at anything that took 10 seconds for my bullet to get there forgive me I'm a little out of a loop on this yeah so
10 seconds and the rounds were like so it's crazy because the news reports like the shoot from jtf2 broke the world but it was essentially a sniper team Simo um we don't know whose round it was are you [ __ ] me we don't know whose round it was there's one that hits the guy and I'll show you the video after and one that lands probably like a quarter of a mill to the left hey everybody I'm Sean Ryan click here to subscribe to the Sean Ryan Show YouTube channel for the hottest and most compelling
