Yup. Mud on the scope or moisture or something. The 1917 rifles were accurate when in good condition. Heavy on the recoil, no laser range finder though.
I would say he was sleep deprived because if he was drunk, he wouldn’t be camping at the window just staring and then almost hitting Schofield multiple times. Bro must hadn’t slept for days💀
Both most likely. Sleep would have been hard to come by on the front lines, and soldiers got booze rations, along with any booze they might come across in towns/cities they occupied.
That waking up scene was the most "wake up to reality" scene I've ever seen. Waking up on a pool of his own blood with no one to help him, yet he must continue moving forward. This is just terrifyingly magnificent and captures human survival instinct.
If the German sniper has a Gewehr 98, he has a five round internal magazine, so five shots before he has to reload. There was an extended magazine that was issued to snipers, so the German sniper could have that as an equalizer. The SMLE of the British soldier has a ten round internal magazine, which should give him a significant advantage in a close-quarters fight.
@@engiturtle65 And besides I don’t think that the guy here was even a sniper. He lacked aim and a scope and was likely more of a soldier they left behind to buy them some time.
The art direction/production design and set decoration in this movie are all so good- some of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s totally believable that he is in that actual environment in that period.
@@stevehughes2133 anyways, there are real semi auto jewels like SVD Dragunov or M1 Springfield to do the job which have the right caliber and are faster than the ancient bolt action rifles...
That's the first thought that came to my mind when I watched the movie. The second thought was "Wow, the Lee Enfield cycles much faster than a Carcano."
@@denniss155 You're trying to make a comparison that doesn't work. That's like trying to compare a Guppy to an Angle Fish. They may be fish (like your comparison being guns), but they're different.

This is WWI, idiot. And not even a sniper. As many have pointed out, his rifle was not scoped at all, he lacked aim and was probably a guy they just left behind to buy them more time.

@hellohelloyeah that may be true,but in real life situations that would be the dumbest move you could make.unless your just ready to stop living of course.
The kid is not a sniper but a sentry duty. Look at him holding the G98 rifle only using his left hand. 2:38 Edit: you can also see his rifle here for proof 4:26
It's interesting how deeply personal all of Schofield's kills are in this movie, no shooting it out with waves of enemy soldiers, he is just locked in these horrible, lonely, desperate struggles with another guy who is probably not much different from him and just trying to survive.
it's the movie 1917 I saw it in theaters a few years ago the plot is a British troop is delivering a message too a group of soldiers too call off an attack
This is how I envisioned things whenever I asked to be excused from class (with a hall pass made from wood) for the bathroom in Green Valley Elementary School.
The German sniper was quite clever. He silenced his weapon and aroused the curiosity of the English soldier who went up to make sure the enemy had been hit. Finally, two young men fighting and dying at the will and whim of the powerful. Human cruelty!
When I was 14 in something called HVU. We used actual surplus Nazi Mauser rifles, from the occupation in ww2. We were expected to hit the bullseye at 300 meters with iron sights. Point is, no one would miss a guy standing like that at ca 100 meters.
Because it’s a movie. A soldier behind enemy lines in any war would have a round chambered. Without a doubt. But, he would also have the safety selected to “safe”. At first contact, his finger would place the safety off to be ready to fire.
Context, for those who have not seen “1917”: Earlier in the movie, Schofield (the soldier) had shot/killed a German, but didn’t chamber another round due to a more pressing matter (no spoiler) 😁. Good continuity, from a production standpoint.
@@tubalcain6874 Yes that is true in the magazine but a switched on soldier would always put one up the spout then the 10 round magazine. My uncle was a WW2 veteran from PNG and as I am an ex-soldier myself he told many things of what they did over there during the Kokoda campaign.
Lee Enfield. 303, fastest large scale production military rifle in history. Still in frontline service in Canada and Afghanistan (the 'known ones anyway). Rimed cartridge and breech far safer than other competitors from that era. Headspace nonsense just that, nonsense. If I had a choice between a bunny Woke F88 Steyr, 'Jam a minute' SLR or Lee Enfield the latter would be preferred. Just takes a little weekend practice for the 'mad minute' rapid fire.
It'd be one thing to participate in a big chaotic battle, or to shoot artillery at an unseen enemy, or anything like that. It'd be totally different to coldly shoot at a lone kid who's jumping over a stream and doesn't even know you're there, like at the very beginning of the video. I know he's an enemy and it could be "kill or be killed", but still. Awful thing, war.
I thought it would’ve been cool if when he goes to open the door the German guy is about to kill himself because he is also terrified just like the other soldier
Snipers were not nearly as common in WW1 as you might think ,those tactics would not be applied by soldiers at this point. Also the German soldier is clearly a watchmen of some type, not a designated sniper. He wouldn't have a scope.
@@ArcticWolf00Alpha0the germans left snipers on the retreat so this is clearly some bs. "Not as common" yeah but this tactic was leaving a sniper behind
@@archmagosdominusbelisarius8836 I understand what your saying, but a Sniper doesn't have to be a person with a scope all the time, if they have a good aim or marksmanship then that is sometimes more than enough. I can't imagine in 1917 the Germans were passing out Snipers with scopes at this point. Its not out of the realm of possibility.
.223 is plenty lethal, especially at those ranges. And he could carry twice as much .223 (compared to the .303 he's carrying). And really, your brain stem doesn't care whether it's hit by a .303 or .223 or a .22lr - you're dropping dead regardless which size bullet it is.
That sniper probably must have been sleep deprived or drinking on the job for missing the first and last shots.
Yup. Mud on the scope or moisture or something. The 1917 rifles were accurate when in good condition. Heavy on the recoil, no laser range finder though.

Doubtful he was even a sniper. Probably some poor kid they left behind to slow down the enemy. Snipers were to valuable to leave behind

I don't think so, the german sniper never uses a semi, they used kar 98k bolt action rifle
@@apbtmaxx lol no, snipers during ww1 did not use a kar98, and the kar98k didn't exist in ww1
pretty sure the snipers did not use the extended trench magazine, but could be wrong

Yeah cuz its so immersive that the german sniper magically misses all the shots
Always, on almost any subject. The arrogance of mankind, and then they spend days arguing with ea other. 😂😂😂
Knowing which window the sniper was in Flanking would have been a good option
The German was just sitting there thinking of beer
Dude shooting out a window does not equal "sniper" in this case.
The sniper couldnt see straight and the soldier wasnt very smart walking out in the open not knowing if the sniper was dead or not.

@@sofianelimari8013 basic survival wasn't new to ww1. Plus those countries in Europe had been doing war since ages
The soldier was probably supposed to walk out in the open because the director wanted to focus his subjects on just the soldier and the sniper alone.

We appreciate how well you’ve articulated your insights. Keep working hard.
Given the location of the sniper, that 1st bullet hitting the wall of the stairs isn't possible. That location has complete defilade from the sniper.

just a movie, dork
@@handlehead dumb comment
This shot might be possible actually. You cannot tell...
Reminds me of the sniper in Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket.
The plot armour is strong in that Tommy.

A tutti questi commenti degli "esperti" rispondo con un unica frase. Si chiama "finzione cinematografica" si usa da sempre nei film.
The sniper must’ve been a Storm Trooper
This is how I envisioned things whenever I asked to be excused from class (with a hall pass made from wood) for the bathroom in Green Valley Elementary School.
The snipers biggest mistake was not setting a bouncing betty to cover his six.
The German sniper was quite clever. He silenced his weapon and aroused the curiosity of the English soldier who went up to make sure the enemy had been hit. Finally, two young men fighting and dying at the will and whim of the powerful. Human cruelty!
Franz "squinty eyes" Muller was probably one of the the worst sniper in WWI...
probably because he wasn’t a sniper. He was a sentry.
😂 Bro failed all the shots
Who seems to be a sniper is actually the ordinary soldier cause took better shots than the so called sniper...
That sniper was sure blind for missing all his shots
it's just a movie
Maybe he wasn't a sniper to begin with, just a regular soldier manning a post.
@@handlehead thats your best excuse for something being bad?
@@joseyzadoria7815 the germans left behind snipers during retreats not regular soldiers. Its not a post its an abandoned place.

Why would a soldier move about without a live round in the chamber?
Probably for safety reasons😊
Because it’s a movie. A soldier behind enemy lines in any war would have a round chambered. Without a doubt. But, he would also have the safety selected to “safe”. At first contact, his finger would place the safety off to be ready to fire.

Sa frapper fort, sa fait 2 ans que je voulais voir la suite.
I could shoot better with my bow than a sniper with that gun
How could He Miss the first Shot?Seriously?At the moment,Schofield's was ''Standing'' Ducks....

The guy has no scope. If his rear sight is not correctly set up... He's gonna miss... So totally likely...

Sure
What type of gun does Schofield use?
Lee-Enfield rifle.
Sniping with a revolver.
Wow what's the name of this flick
1917
Its in the title
"Don't Bother".
In real, he would be dead at once😮
Что за фильм?
Playing COD Mobile taught me how to use the pump action. Don't let a single round go to waste and hit your target or die.
Какой же это снайпер? 10 выстрелов и мимо. При такой позиции этот англичанин был бы уже трупом.

worst sniper ever
Full name movie
"Sniper for dummies"
1917
Soldat contre très très mauvais...sniper😂
No era francotirador estaba escondido y asustado
This is the worst sniper scene ever, target is right in front of you like 50 mtrs and he misses.The first stair case shot was an impossible shot.
He did hit him. Did you not watch the clip?
These rifles had a massive recoil. Which is missing in the clip😂
Those rifles had the right calibers to go to a war. Nowadays those bb guns (.223) are a kind of joke 🤣

Que mentira absurda.😂
Like if you paused the video just to see what the german sniper looked like...
Like bait
Snipers are the most truly cowards
Not really, it was likely an automatic death sentence if you got caught a lot of times
They both can't shoot. So they end up killing each other. 😆😆😆What a joke. 😆😆😆
Only the sniper died. The soldier didn’t
