I love how Larry constantly challenges himself and films it live and raw. 99% of others will do the shot 1000 times and then post the best video to make it look good. Moving targets+live shoots=Not movie results.
LAV is the real deal
you prolly dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Jairo Braden instablaster :)
Guys this was filmed exactly as you saw it - I honestly had no idea of the scenario - hence why I kept shooting into the body and not the head . The other thing is the AI Covert is QUIET - I mean big time !!! Super impressive - add the British SAS lineage and it's a cool blaster !
+nik pik I was ready to ask him to do the same with a Vintorez and then i saw your comment....
Go Mr.Vickers... find a Vintorez and give us a good show.... we want accuracy tests,and penetration tests...
-
guy filming this is not a sniper
The real deal!!!! Love the HD graphics and SLOW mo it makes other channels look very boring lol
When you add everything like you did in this equation. I enjoyed watching the truth instead of a video of Mr Vickers edited to come into theatre, take 1 shot at the Fatal T, causing the threat to drop all in one video. The greatest teacher I ever had was named "failure"
Nice, the L96 Accuracy is being used by spanish army by the snipers and it has a properly accuracy (the name says everything) and after all a very good facing sand and water resistance that makes it perfect for our soldiers. Nice video and one of my favourite weapon.
Walt seems to be as calm as they get.
If you can't learn from a patient teacher like that, you are the one with the problem.
AI makes the sexiest looking rifles
Made* The AW series has been discontinued to my research... They've got a new chassis system they call the "AX" and even though the action is the same it just doesn't look right to me. idk if you're the same but just my 2 cents :/
Grayson A glad someone else thinks the same. I don’t really see why AI even switched in the first place really.
That sound alone...or rather lack of it, fkn sweet
He’s going back to the door.. no he’s going back to the truck..... no wait now he’s going back to the door. Most dangerous game of pickle ever lol.
I think this is the best video you've done so far Larry.
That AI Covert has me drooling!!!
Some rifles (such as Accuracy International's) are purpose-made sniper rifles. They are what they are, and denying it just makes us look like we're fishing for euphemisms.
Facts are facts. Deal with it or not.
Amazing how good channels you can make on youtube. This is like a Discovery Channel episode
That's why I don't watch much TV anymore lol
Discovery channel is garbage now. Just like the history channel
Beautiful rig Larry, and your composure was ice cold. Great video and really cool scenario.
Bad ass rifle! Awesome scenario!
Jared Andrews
that's a really hard shot, nice job man
I really want to do this. This looks like FUN!
I still want the AWM in .338
If I had one of these I'd put "SHHH" somewhere on the stock lol. Nice video!
I would lovd to spend a week with these two men there is so much i could learn from them
Any way you look at this shot it's a hard one. A moving hostile target with an innocent as a shield. Actual target area measures only is 6"x4." One MOA at 60 yards is 0.6282", a small window of success in any way you look at it. Larry still hits the fatal T, cranial area.
Was wondering if a medula oblongata shot would be useful. The cranial mass shot worked too. Instant cessation of life no matter what.
Next time I'm on the range I want to see where a bullet strikes at 60 yards with a 100 yard zero. I'll calculate in inches of drop or rise, MOA's, and, M-rads.
I could watch Larry Vickers and Walt Wilkerson shoot all day.
I understand how he said it was his old habits of aiming for center mass, but as an ex infantry sniper (British Army) I never had the habit of walking up to the top of an embankment looking out THEN laying down. A real soldier would leopard crawl up the embankment and take up a position ( sorry if I'm being fussy, but it stuck out like a sore thumb). I like the look of the weapon though, I used a L96A1 when I was in, which shows how old I must be. But I loved my accuracy international, it was great when I needed it to do the job.
was done in NAM with silenced M21s. Ammo was specially loaded
great job guys!
What a cool drill!
we want the same scenario, but please use a VSS Vintorez....
Greetings from Greece Mr.Vickers...
Man, the fantasy land is off the scale for this video.
Great rifle Larry.
Ammo Larry is shooting is 7.62 NATO Lapua 200 grain subsonic factory ammo. I shoot the same projectiles in a 16" bolt action 300 AAC blackout about 1020 FPS. By far the best performing and quietest load I have when compared to the 240g SMK, 220g SMK and 208g Amax. Only downfall of the 200g subsonic is it is a FMJ design so its not a hunting type bullet. Its a paper puncher, plate ringer or an ocular bone crusher. In my opinion these projectiles at these velocities have a maximum effective range of about 300 meters. After that, the bullet drop doubles every 100m. I use a mount with built in 20 MOA to increase the available elevation of the optics.
Larry the redeemer
Amazing rifle
My fn special police.308 looks alot like this one Larry….i have the 3x15 2nd gen viper on it and factory trigger is well under 3lb…I want a s&b like that one..
Will you ever show Walt in action. He looks like he's really tough
+Олег Антонов He just looks like one of those been there done that guys doesn't he?
he seems to have a real calmness and fairness to him, like Carlos Hathcock.
Very very nice video 👍🏻👍🏻
But what about Sig Sauer SSG 3000 Patrol ?
I think that it is kinda the same level like Accuracy international.
Highly Imaginative Scenarios with Accuracy International AWSM Sniper Rifle .308 ... !!!
Damn this slow Afghan internet. Took me 30 mins to watch this full video!!
Better then what i can do hondo. Great vid.
Very cool rifle and great scenario.
Larry we would like to see a comparison video of Daniel Defense and BCM
This 1 was good 👍
Excellent bolt gun would really like that AI to have in my collection.
And now i want (need) one. Nice! Thanks! 😎🇫🇷😇
Please do a comparison video of this rifle to the Desert Tech SRS Covert
This had to be awesome
Hey Vickers, can you do a more in depth review on this rifle? Really starting to like Accuracy International products.
Matt Canipe wait till you see their price tags
Ohsnapzdawg cheaper to look..
+Ohsnapzdawg I've seen the prices, it's not a problem.
Matt Canipe i have some higher end ar's, but owning an awp is just a dream.
Matt Canipe
can you clarify what's not a problem? not all of us have google stock options...
Very nice "Precision Rifle" but way out of the price range of most working class Americans. AI rifles start at just over $4K.
nitemaster05 it's a specialist weapon numbnut
nitemaster05 It is meant for the military not civilian market really
But in the UK they can be quite cheap
I know this is 3 years old but for that price you're getting what you pay for at least. Pretty average price for a "precision rifle"
I mean it's a gun which lineage came from a rifle designed by British gold medalist Olympic shooter for the military. what did you expect? lol
@Eclipse538 this was a hard pill I had to swallow early last year before the pandemic 😁 saved so much money ironically because of it. Now I actually reward myself for spending what I need on what I need. I haven't had a new phone or car in 4 years. I love my phone and car don't get me wrong but I rather have more money spent in other areas of my life.
I thought the C in AWC was “Compact”. LOL!!!
Proof military and police sniping is different
Lorde Marsh Well duh
Military - center mass, take him down..
Police - cranial shot,headshot, disable the dude before he hits the ground
Lorde Marsh Although SWAT Snipers almost never have any circumstances of using their rifles. It’s very rare for them to even use them. Military is a lot more gruesome and a lot more nerve wrecking. If you’re an actually good shot with a rifle, better take your ass in the military where they need more good snipers.
Holy Moly that is a Bad Mama Jama!
lol at these guys doing roleplay. It's as if they never got the opportunity to play as kids hahahaha
rebelsouljaz looked pretty fun, tho they were replicating a serious scenario.
At that distance I would have grabbed the semiautomatic scar.. probably chambered in the same caliber and quicker follow up shots. Even though in this scenario hes probably gonna kill the hostage if you miss the first shot. This is where a semi auto while not quite as accurate is gonna be my first choice. At 60 yards I'd rather have my ar than a bolt gun. Just my opinion.
British made quality weapon system. 👍
"I dig it, man."
How old is that guy?
WOW that is quiet. EASILY the quietest suppressed .308 I've ever heard. jelly.
that is one nasty set up
I dont see these for sale anywhere with the silenced barrel.
Dr Dank Have to get a tax stamp, contact EuroOptics, or Mile High, they should be able to locate one for you pretty fast, but on top of the $6000+ Price tag for the rifle + NICE Optics, you have to pay a $200 tax stamp and wait about 6 months.
God damn that is quite just imagine using that in a noisy urban environment.
I wonder if they still have any left.
Okay I'm a bit confused. The Spotter said the ones aiming for the head hit low. I don't see how? Did he actually mean high? In the army when I'd qual we would have to aim low for the 50 to hit it. About where the silhouette met the dirt.
Oh never mind my mistake. That's on a 300 meter zero.
But still even at 60 yards with a 100 yard zero the round is still below the line of sight? I thought it around 40 to 50 it passed the line of sight.
Thanks for any info. And I'm referring to supersonic s not subs lol. But I do know it all depends on the weight of the round and the FPS.
"Intrsuctor" at 0:59
so real
I liked the aw
They said “fuck that hostage yo!”
Lol these dudes are just driving and standing around with accuracy int. Sniper rifle and mk16's like it's nothing ha...I love Vickers
I really wish people would stop using the term, "Sniper Rifle". If you aren't or weren't ever a Sniper. You are not shooting a Sniper Rifle. Call it what it is and stop playing up the CoD crowd.
It is a Precision Rifle. Simply that.
In a real life scenario with a sniper actually attempt to go for a headshot when the hostage is that close to the threat?
LMAO, I couldn't stop laughing when the wheeled robot came out from behind the cover.
200m gun? Is that with subsonic or super sonic loads?
sounds like a hans zimmer soundtrack ^^
I always thought AI weapons were like hen's teeth, very difficult to get a hold of
Although better, that still insinuates an Individual's rifle instead of a describing word for what the rifle is.
Although, I despise the term Assault Rifle for rifles that don't fit the true description either.
But it is what it is I guess.
Are you a lefty like me??
seals dont encounter hostage situations very much. your first shot would have destroyed his hand, his shooting hand.
Alright gang, I am going to sleep!
Not interested in buying a sniper rifle like the one in the clip, but I'd really like to get a truck like he had parked behind the bank.
these scenarios are adorable civilians put themselves in acting like its real
How are you supposed to clean the integral suppressor? I'm assuming there has to be a way to take it apart
MarkG Soak it in petrol?
MarkG you use a barrell punch.
what is walt wielding as he covers larry? looks like a really small round?
bigpapadrew scar 16, chambered in 5.56 NATO
Bolt action? That make the enemy die laughing
They didnt talk about sloped roofs hahahhaha
i wouldnt like to be the hostage
For something that fires a 7.62, that is very quiet.
It had an integrated suppressed barrel, and using subsonic ammo That said, indeed.... very low noise signature.
Where can I go and buy a aics ax for myself?
British masterclass
That a weird bank
LAV, were those subsonic .308 loads? I know that you can accurately judge via recordings, but that sounded VERY quiet even for an integral can--no sonic crack at all.
Can this rifle run supersonic ammo or is it subsonic only?
+Ben Evenson both
Learn to shoot a scope with both eyes open and your target acquisition will be much better. I can shoot a running deer on a deer drive faster than anyone I know because of this.
It also depends on which eye is your dominant eye. I am right hand dominant, and left eye dominant. This means that to work well, I can target acquisition with both eyes open, but when taking the shot, I close my left eye. That said, opposite eye dominant also creates differences in pistol shooting as well. I shoot pistols with both eyes open, but turn my head sightly to the right so that my left eye is in the proper sighting position.
THAT said (lol), faster is all relative, and in most cases does not end up producing the results in practical applications that most seem to think it does.
Lol, gonna go out on a limb here, but...
With Larry being an ex-Delta Force Operator, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing, and the benefits/risks involved. :)
mantap senjata nu
Sorry walking up to the skyline and then going prone don't cut it for me .Basic field craft rule thrown through the door shooting was ok
where's the flickshots? xD
+SweatyTits needs to learn from the best: KennyS xD
Gotta protect those bankers money.
AI is just not accessible to ordinary civilians. they are way too expensive. but solid vid none the less.
At the specified distance and scenario presented here, it would be interesting to see how an LWRC REPR with a 20 inch barrel with a Surefire SOCOM suppressor would work out.
I would put my money on that setup being just fine at 60yds
60 yards lol. Head shot all day with the ole M4 with an EOTECH. With the "AKA" urban sniper rifle at 60 yards the scope should be zoomed almost at 3 to zero power just to see the sweat coming off the bad guys face. If the bad guy was not moving the ole 1911 could get a center mass shot. I'm not making fun of anybody but 60 yards is throwing distance.
Theres such little kick if at all? isn't .308 meant have some kick?
Meant? No. Sometimes it does depending on many factors. But in general a good 308 setup will be very shooter friendly. He is also shooting subsonic ammo.
AI makes the best rifles around.
I thought for a second I was watching the trailer to brokeback mountain !
Georfe Jungle u wouldn't tell LAV that to his face tho 😅😅😅
The Spanish use AI rifles? That's cool!
or Marksman rifle
Is that a BB gun?? Why is there no recoil and no report?? wtf
