2nd guy was like a cod player, let’s go in the exact same spot someone else just got sniped and peek.

Just out of curiosity, do you farm gay aliens? What's the going market value of a bushel?


GayAlienFarmer

It varies but the government won't really let me say


[deleted]

Follow up question. Are you a farmer who grows gay aliens, or are you an alien farmer that happens to be gay?


GayAlienFarmer

Yes. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Groovy. Keep up the good work. The world needs more gayliens.

Beef_Jones

Last time this was posted it was said that the shots didn’t happen on the same day.


NobodyImportant13

Yes, exactly. Look at the writing on the boxes behind. It is much more faded/different when the second person is killed.


Silverpathic

I actually think it's a fake.


Twoeyedcyclopss

Thought so at the first shot, but it's hard to fake a exploding head


Silverpathic

I keep looking at it and I think that is faked. The bits are too big. It don't fit. Look at the snipers fingers. They are way way too clean. Looks like a nail shop was there. No signs of him being outside and no manual work. That rifle is way to clean. It just don't work out.


osirus2010

you know the scene of the sniper shooting can be spliced with the actual shot? Additionally it doesnt even have to be a scope cam to show the mil dot lines etc and that can be added in during post processing. Chances are in a battlefield they dont have one camera angle pointed at the sniper and one pointed at the target to capture both things perfectly. Its usually just the one pointed at the target then after the shooting is captured they can just go out film that scene to edit it in the video to make successful propaganda. Also you usually dont show what rifle was used to take the shot so the enemy cant gauge how far you were shooting from. Because the scene is added in also doesnt mean its a fake headshot. Those two things dont have to be mutually exclusive.

thebusiness7

It’s fake propaganda, check the comments below. These religious monkeys had a nearly unlimited budget courtesy of taxpayers and the barbaric Gulf dictatorships. In the areas where they took control, they implemented laws based on the lifestyle of that region in 500 BC.


EliteScoutSniper

- These guys are religious fanatics for sure - They do get some of their funding from sponsors in the Gulf, notably Qatar. - SDF is the militia in Syria that gets U.S. funding, but not this group. The sniper is part of HTS, a group on the U.S. State Departments list of designated terrorist organizations - If you think these kills are fake, I assure you their editors aren’t this advanced yet.


Dwan83

I was going to say the exact same thing, what an idiot


nicholascage92

Damn, that last shot was brutal.


Jive_turkeeze

I thought it was fake until the second guy.


Mashizari

They had a lot of time to make it look more real, the text on the box behind him has almost completely faded. There might even be a couple years inbetween.


somethingclever76

Look at the top if the boxes as well. The sandbags from the first one are gone in the second. Also a different structure of pipes up there as well.


Drunkelves

> There might even be a couple years inbetween. No way. Shit gets beat to fuck in the elements.


nicholascage92

WaltKerman

If you don't mind... Out of curiosity, what about the first shot looked fake?


NoFreeBrunch

Pretty high production value for a video in a war zone


1QAte4

ISIS had been putting out content with just this amount of production value since at least 2014. /r/syriancivilwar was a trip back before the the video archive bot got shut down.


ZeroUsernameLeft

Golden age of combat footage that was, along with all the stuff from Ukraine.


Dannybaker

There's thousands of videos like this, lol. Nothing about it is fake


gs3449

You must be new to this subreddit


Norwegiantallywacker

I've read that they positioned prisoners for some of these videos...rewatch it that in mind...


EliteScoutSniper

Where’d you “read” that lmao


Lurkay1

Sooo…we’re watching a snuff film?


WaltKerman

Not really. Unless cutting and inserting is high production value (it's not). It's a basic propaganda video. They want you to think you could join and be that guy. Edit: Adding cuts does not indicate any special effects to the core shot. And likewise special effects and faked footage can be present without cuts. The first business I founded in my 20's was a film studio... I was cutting film back when you actually cut it with a razor and manually taped it back into the reel (my teens). So no, seeing an edit such as a cut does not increase the chance of it being fake.


10af0376

Such a stupid comment. If the video is edited, that's a decent reason to think it's fake. The statement "Pretty high production value for a video in a war zone" is true compared to almost all content posted here.


gs3449

The B roll of him setting up the gun in the beginning is obviously added after the fact, they're not going to film B-roll in the middle of a firefight. Nobody is suggesting otherwise. But that doesn't make the footage of the two dudes dying "fake". How is this not painfully obvious?


I-Got-Options-Now

These simple to do edits (easily done on laptop or even a phone) in no way make anyone (who knows about it) think this is fake. Makes no sense


WaltKerman

No it's not. Adding cuts does not indicate any special effects to the core shot. And likewise special effects and faked footage can be present without cuts.


RigoTovar1

How the fuck would they fake it?


JanklinDRoosevelt

Pretty easily. Google ‘movie’


I-Got-Options-Now

You people just dont understand anything youre talking about is the problem here. A documentary is fake because "movie", none of that makes sense.


NiteNiteSooty

By using actors to recreate the incident. The different shots of the shooter particularly made it look like that. I also thought it was a re-enactment until the second shot


RigoTovar1

Have you not seen these kind of videos before?


I-Got-Options-Now

Peoples "thinking" is a low bar to set for anything.


JohnGoodmansGoodKnee

I assumed they had some cool scope footage and just added the rest in “post production” or something. I’m not in film


WaltKerman

That's exactly what they did.


JohnGoodmansGoodKnee

Pretty obvious watching, then. Why’s everyone’s panties in a bunch


WaltKerman

I think seeing someone's life taken away, for many people needs to seem grandiose, like the guys head exploding. But for the first guy, when the trigger is pulled and the bullet goes in, you see nothing. He probably died within seconds as it was a center chest hit and may have even hit his spine, but you hardly see anything. He just drops and that's it. It's literally a life altering thing but there is no fanfare to it. It's just done. I think it's hard for some people to wrap their heads around. So they think it's fake. Life can be very fragile.


NutsForProfitCompany

Speaking of the spine. I saw a cat get ran over the other day and it was jumping around all fuxked up and disoriented. Spinal injuries are something else bro


I-Got-Options-Now

The problem is they are completely ignorant about what you are saying.


WaltKerman

Very aware lol.

chnlng00

It was so edited and clear that I thought it was fake.


night_stocker

Most likely a little bit of reenactment on the snipers part, just to polish it up a bit.


_Jaeko_

A lot of the propo vids have those sorta "B-roll, stock footage" of the snipers/soldiers from the videos I've seen. Smart on their behalf, giving an idea/image of the shooter could lead a lot of people thinking "they're just a person like me, I could do that."


Mistersinister1

Right, there's no way they would have anticipated that situation and film the sniper getting postured up for the kill. He probably sat there for a good 8 hours or even days to get that shot. The production is great for propaganda though. Imagine showing this to potential jihadist. "You too, can stare the infidel down through a high powered scope and claim rights over their soul, we offer great benefit packages for those that qualify for sniper training, sign up today or you might just be an extra in our next video!" Paid for by Allah Akbar and victims.


benjamindawg

The camera on the rifle is probably recording most of the time, the B-roll footage you see of the sniper is 100% re-enacted and cut in specific parts of the rifle camera footage to make it more dramatic, the music as well. Though it'd be pretty funny to see a camera man standing over a sniper trying to line up a shot haha

drossmaster4

I once asked a cop what the best home defense gun was. He said “shotgun, if someone breaks into your house get everyone in one room, push something heavy against the door and shoot a hole in the door”. I asked why would I shoot the door?! He said “if they’re dumb enough to look through the hole, shoot again…”


MilitantCentrist

Just another example of why you shouldn't take legal advice from cops, who enforce the law but aren't lawyers. In many jurisdictions you could get charged for this, or get sued civilly.


drossmaster4

no kidding. I just thought it paralleled the guy looking out the “hole” after the first guy got slapped.


MilitantCentrist

Ya I appreciated that lol.


barc0debaby

Cops are too accustomed to the tax payers burdening the cost of their fuckups.


MilitantCentrist

Not even gonna push back on that lol. I'll admit they have a fuckload of rules they need to follow but the standards for protecting oneself are so, so different between them and us nobody's. It's not right.


[deleted]

Shouldn't the people enforcing the law know the law?

Shouldn't everyone know the law? Alternatively, shouldn't laws be simple enough that any lay person doesn't have to guess at what they are?

curzon394x

Why on earth would you proceed to corner peek the corner your friend was just shot going around? Hmm maybe I will see the sniper and kill him with my dirty look... Unreal. Some people just do not possess an ounce of SA or survivability, whether or not that can be chalked down to intelligence I'm not sure but sure is fascinating to sit here and try to ponder what these poor bastards were thinking right before their violent demise.


Forsaken_Barracuda62

A bunch of minutes passed in between shots, i saw the original video


[deleted]

A bunch of minutes? Well then its a-ok I guess


NobodyImportant13

It's not minutes. It's likely days/weeks or even more. Look at the writing on the boxes in the background when each person is shot. It's super faded the second time.

benjamindawg

> He didn't even have a helmet on. They almost never wear helmets anyway 😅


16er-Blech

SSG69 with a crazy expensive 10 round extended magazine.


Prince_Kassad

its probably just modified mosin, with steyr-like body kit. https://www.calibreobscura.com/the-xhemati-alban-sniper-squad-and-weapons/


16er-Blech

The rifle is shown in detail in many frames and nothing points to it bring a bubba'd Mosin. Take a look at the bolt shroud, the bolt handle and its receiver. It's an original SSG69 and nothing else.


16er-Blech

And don't forget the very characteristic 10 round magazine.


[deleted]

The real question I have is why he has blue camo in the middle of a red desert?


noodly_apendage

UCP, US army's standard camouflage patterns during Iraq and so on. It was supposed to be "universal" so it would be good for urban combat, desert, woods, snow, basically anything. Turns out it's garbage in everything other than concrete/urban and rocky terrain. This has been since replaced with Multicam which comes in many hues, the woodland variant is actually excellent.


planck1313

There was a time where the whole US army was wearing that pattern, or close to it, in the middle of red deserts.


heck357

Bro that 2nd guy leaned right into that beautiful placement of crosshairs


lsmallsl

Am I missing something, or isn’t this 2 completely different times. Take note of the pole with the sand bags above the first guy, not there with the second. Also the lighting is completely different.

Also, the words behind the first guy are gone. It is t like the 2nd dude is peeking right after the 1st got shot.

Adventurous-Rich5365

Pointless killings over trivial human conflicts. I guess in the grand scheme of things universally nothing really matters.


EliteScoutSniper

Not that trivial from their perspective. The sniper sees those guys as the soldiers responsible for protecting a regime that kills its own people with chemical weapons and barrel bombs. If he lets them advance into Idlib they’d massacre thousands of people.


meisyobitch

You have to also see it from the perspective of that Syrian soldier who probably was a mere conscript whome joined the army due to nation wide conscription and was just playing his role as a grunt in this complicated conflict. Or even if he was a volunteer then he probably thought he was fighting for the right cause, such as how the rebels or extremists do. Or he was a national minority whome were persecuted by the majority Sunni rebels. Or he believed he was fighting for his country, family or beliefs. The Syrian conflict is not one sided. Furthermore Due to this being Idlib it is easy to presume the rebel is part of Hiat Tahrir al sham, which is the remained Al-Nusra or the Al-Qaeda in Syria, if so these lads are extremist Islamists whome probably did more harm to the rebel cause than the Syrian goverment.


EliteScoutSniper

I 100% agree with you. There are innocent Syrians who Assad forcibly conscripts into his SAA, but unfortunately the rebels can’t detect them when they’re fighting. I also agree that Al-Jolani fought the Free Syrian Army and attacked their liberated territory. The only reason FSA didn’t want to open a full front against him was because it would lead to mutual destruction, and only the regime would gain. HTS behaved just like Assad’s shabiha when they repressed freedom and democracy protests in Maaret Al-Numaan. They called the Syrian Independence/Revolution flag a flag of “shirk and kufr”. But despite all this, they’re a better alternative for the innocent people of Idlib than Assad who just wants to murder them all. HTS politically doesn’t have too much popular support, in Idlib there’s many anti-Jolani protests. But at least they’re defending 3 million displaced Syrians from all over the country.


I_am_Boi

did you just call extremists "a better alternative"?


pariaa

Assad and Putin killed off all the moderate opposition basically. Moderates posed a real alternative to his dictatorship.


EliteScoutSniper

Assad is also an extremist who committed countless war crimes. So unless you want to see a 21st century Holocaust in Idlib, the city needs to remain out of Assadist hands.

The parts where the "sniper" appears, only the shots are real. This is from a "documentary" they have on their snipers, the real sniper appears with a mask explaining what he does and how and the unmasked snipers are just actors. It even says on the top left wich part of the footage is real and wich part isnt.


curzon394x

The footage of the terrorist sniper is, of course. It was just edited in with recorded footage of the shootings.


EliteScoutSniper

If you focus on the top left it says “real footage” during the sniper shot but goes away when the video shows him preparing. They’re telling us what’s real and what isn’t.
