He didn't say that. He shot from a sitting position so it wouldn't matter. Scopes weren't weatherproof so moisture would infiltrate and cause fog and frost. No scope also eliminates reflections and glare.

Matthäus Hetzenauer. He was an Austrian sniper in the 3rd Mountain Division on the Eastern Front of the World War II, who was credited with 345 kills. His longest confirmed kill was reported at 1100 metres. Hetzenauer was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.

Hathcock deserved the Medal of Honor for the actions surrounding his severe burns. He also made one of the longest sniper shots in history. There have been claims of longer shots, but his shot was taken after placing his rifle scope on a .50 caliber machine gun, and not from a sniper rifle.

There is a major error in the video. While discussing Adelbert Waldron, a picture of Master Sergeant Gary Gordon is displayed, with Waldron's name displayed. MSG Gordon was a member of the U.S. Army's 1-SFOD-D, aka Delta. He and his partner SGT Randall Shugart were both killed in the battle of Mogadishu. This is the battle that the movie "Blackhawk Down" was based upon. Both Gordon and Shugart posthumously received the Medal of Honor, due to their actions in attempting to protect their fellow American servicemen.
SIMO WAS THE GREATEST BUT HAD EASY JOB BECAUSE RUSSIA WAS RULED BY BOLSHEVIKS AND THREY WERE INTERNAL ENEMIES OF ALL SLAVS, SPECIALLY OF RUSSIANS. THAT WAS THE REASON THAT MASTERS OF RED ARMY DID NOT PROVIDE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WITH WHITE COVERS OR UNIFORMS LIKE FINNISH SOLDIERS HAD. WAR WAS IN THE WINTER WHEN EVERYTHING WAS WHITE AND RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WERE STANDING IN DARK UNIFORMS LIKE IDEAL TARGET FOR FINNS. THAT WAS THE GOAL OF BOLSHEVIK MASTERS OF SOWIET UNION TO EXTERMINATE RUSSIANS.
It is their channel. And I do agree this isn't accurate. There were many skilled soldiers/ hunters. Only less then a handfull get named/ honered by the media. All those other people are forgotten (by purpose or mistake) in to the grave.
He didnt use the regular sniper scope, but he did use some kind of scope. In Finnish the regular sniper scope is "Kiikaritähtäin" which directly translates to "Binocular Scope" I think, I'm Finnish and my English isn't the best so yeah.
I have seen him pictured with both a standard iron sight rifle and with a scoped one. But I can attest to the fact that you can hit a person sized target easily with iron sights at 600 yards or more if you practice and are reasonably good with a rifle. When we are younger, our eyes work a lot better. I used a 1930 vintage Persian Mauser at our shooting range to plant a 12" group of 6 shots at 640 yards using the rifle's iron sights. A lot of the people at the range can not do any better with their scoped rifles. The other thing about iron sights is they don't fog up and your sight picture is huge allowing for fast accurate shots on multiple targets. Never underestimate iron sights when in the hands of a good rifleman.
Firstly, let me state that I haven't even watched the video in it's entirety - questioning if I should at all as I couldn't make it through the first story. Right from the beginning this video is crap. Extolling the virtues of Billy Dixon as a buffalo hunter on the plains of America while using clips of Cape Water Buffaloes during the telling of the story is nothing short of intellectual laziness. Now, back to the video - I'm sure there'll be other fuck ups.
My favorite sniper was an American Confederate soldier by the name of Jack Hinson. After Lincoln cutthroats murdered his children. Mr Hinson used a custom made 50 caliber 41-inch barrel Kentucky Long Rifle to target Union soldiers more than a half-mile away on land, transports, and gunboats along the Tennessee River and the Cumberland River, killing as many as a hundred. Mr Hinson also served as a guide for American hero Nathan Bedford Forrest in his assault on the Union supply center at Johnsonville, Tennessee in November 1864.
Also that he never used telescopic sights, and was using a rifle, by preference, that was already obsolete even for regular infantry, never mind any current, state-of-the-art, specialist sniper weapon.
Francis Pegahmagabow was not only the most successful sniper of World War 1, but he is also among the most decorated aboriginal soldiers in history. He joined the Canadian Army in 1914 and quickly made a name for himself as a sniper during reconnaissance missions.
About female snipers. You probably should also mention Lyudmila Pavlichenko, most successful female sniper in the world. She killed more than 300 nazi soldiers and officers including enemy snipers.
Right. After she was wounded, the Soviet government took Pavilchenko on a tour of the US in 1942 to raise support for the war. In Madison Square Garden, she said, "Gentlemen, I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascists. Haven't you been hiding behind my skirts long enough?"
Sorry but Gunny Hathcock is the best sniper. Hello the Marines shaped their sniper school around how he shot. Gunny Hathcock shot open sights and he did took shots others wouldn't or couldn't. When I went through boot camp for the Marines I worked to be a female version of Gunny Hathcock.
William Edward "Billy" Sing, DCM was an Australian soldier of Chinese and English descent who served in the Australian Imperial Force during World War I, best known as a sniper during the Gallipoli Campaign. He took at least 150 confirmed kills during that campaign, and may have had over 200 kills in total

They left out that Carlos Hathcock was burned so badly because he went back to the burning vehicle multiple times pulling out several of the troops he was traveling with at the time. They also didn't mention a shot he fired that was approximately 2,500 yards if I remember correctly. He and his spotter had a platoon pinned down and killed multiple enemies that day. I don't recall the exact amount, but it was a lot higher than 5, which is still respectable. After reading a lot of the post below, there are a lot of issues with this list and the video/photos themselves.
You've forgotten "Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko, was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, who was credited with 309 confirmed kills, making her the most successful female sniper in recorded history. Pavlichenko was nicknamed "Lady Death" for her incredible ability with a sniper rifle"

No the Canadian's was broken by Harrison. That is still the longest confirmed kill and as it was measured by an Apache laser, it is probably the most accurate.
@@modelrailwaynoob Sorry, but in '01 (or '02) a Canadian sniper in Afghanistan broke the long-standing record of longest confirmed kill, set by an American in Vietnam. Another Canadian topped that shot shortly thereafter. Harrison set a new record in '09--but another Canadian earlier this year again recorded the longest kill.
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko (Belova) was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She is credited with killing 309 enemy combatants. Woody Guthrie even composed a song about her - "Miss Pavlichenko"
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko was a Red Army Soviet sniper during World War II,[1] credited with 309 kills. She is regarded as one of the top military snipers of all time[2] and the most successful female sniper in history. Mikhail Surkov According to Soviet sources, Surkov had 702 confirmed kills during World War II, a total which would make him the most effective sniper of the European conflict.
I can go to at a State Fair, shoot more animals at the carnival. THAT'S WHAT SHE DID, there is no honor but getting the big STUFFED ANIMAL. Snipers have no HONOR.
I watched her life story movie, it was inspration. This video has lack of information Lyudmila shouldn't be forgotten. (Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, credited with 309 kills. She is regarded as one of the top military snipers of all time and the most successful female sniper in history)
Francis Pegahmagabow (Peggy) belongs on this list too. He was the most effective sniper of all of ww1 from either side with 378 confirmed kills and over 300 captures. He was a First Nations man born in Canada.
Really? I had no idea that my home state had a marsh in the pan handle and that wild water buffalo roamed. My native ancestors must have been ashamed, because they never told me the stories. Quanah Parker must have been telling us about a different place.
You lose serious credibility when you mispronounce several words but the most egregious mistake was showing a Cape buffalo while talking about a North American bison. Come on, get the simple stuff right.
Roza Shanina was a great sniper, very brave and very beautiful, but she was not close to being the most successful Soviet female sniper of WW2. That honor would go to Lyudmila Pavlichenko who was credited with 309 kills and is considered the most successful female sniper in history. There were 25 Soviet female snipers during WW2 with more kills than Roza. As for Fyodor Ohlopkov his 429 kills were ninth most among the Soviets. The #1 sniper of WW2 was Mihail Ilyich Surkov with 702 kills. There were 4 Soviets with more confirmed kills than the Finn, Simo Hayha. Vasily Zaitsev, the sniper the movie Enemy at the Gates was made about, is probably the most famous WW2 Soviet sniper, but his 242 kills place him far down the list for total kills.
There is a book written by russian historian Lyuba Vinogradova "Avenging Angels: Soviet Women Snipers on the Eastern Front, 1941-1945" Vinogradova has an interesting chapter on Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Lyudmila Pavlichenko, history’s deadliest female sniper, is considered to be a Soviet propaganda myth!!!. A few quotes from this remarkable book: "Pavlichenko, who "shot one hundred and eighty-seven fascists", was not even rewarded for fighting in Odessa battle. How is this possible? After all, not only were the soldiers medal awarded, but also the chefs, administrative staff, and even the artists of the front brigades to raise morale in the army. It is all the more strange that for ten killed or wounded enemies the Soviet sniper received a medal, twenty guaranteed the order. Seventy-five is a bricked hero of the Soviet Union. Therefore, until the end of 1941, Pavlichenko should be twice the Hero. Meanwhile, on her first order she had to wait for the fall of Sevastopol. She received it during convalescence in a New Russian hospital. The Golden Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union decorated her breast only after returning from across the ocean in 1943!!!" Inaccuracies and questions are much more but than You have to find it just by Yourself ...
Roza Shanina was a very fine shot. She made plenty of shots in a short period of time, before she got killed. That is why she is mentioned. Had she lasted out the war, she might have been the number 1 sniper of Russia!
Roza Shanina - 59 confirmed kills Chris Kyle - 160 confirmed kills Vasily Zaytsev - 242 confirmed kills Roza & Chris are on this list, except Vasily. Also what does the thumbnail have to do with this video???
That's not Adelbert Waldron at 8:16. It's Master Sgt. Gary Gordon who was killed in Somalia protecting Super 6-4 - the second downed Black Hawk MH-60L - during the Battle of Mogadishu on October 3, 1993.

@ Donald Walker: Sorry buddy, but Heinz Sielmann was a famous german zoologist and animalfilm-maker. His televisionshow "Expeditions into the Animal Kingdom", for example, lastet from1965 to 1991.
That Pystykorva rifle was not the only weapon Häyhä used, Suomi submachine gun was his second preferred weapon, almost half of his kills were made with the submachinegun and yeah he did not use scopes of any kind.

So, I shot and killed 50 rats from 75 feet with a co2 bb gun. In 4 days. I was using zinc coated bbs, they spark when you hit concrete, that way you can tell where the bb hit.
That wouldn't be difficult as Kyle made most of his heroic deeds up and how stupid can you be to take someone with a mental problem to a gun range and leave him with 2 loaded guns and walk off down range with his friend. It's not a very bright thing to do.
Great. Not. Showing a picture of Delta sniper Gary Gordon (KIA @ Mogadishu 1993) when narrating about Adelbert Waldron. Be precise or don't make a video at all.
thanks for watching! love her voice. No mention for vasiley saitsev or the guy jude law played in the battle of stalingrad. or was he a fictional character?
@@taurektaurek6213 That is what I meant. I left out the word "combat", but for those of us who spent a whole career in the military we already know that. I served four "combat" tours. Besides, the video was talking about combat. That is a given.
An ok video. The buffalo/bison thing bothered me. But what was really bad is at the 8:15 mark. You were talking about Abelbert Waldon and you showed a picture of MSG Gary Gordon. He was a Medal Of Honor recipient from the Battle of Mogadishu....aka, Black Hawk Down. i sure wish people would do a little research before they look foolish.
@@cronas2 No Harrison's is still the distance record. The Canadian was the longest shot before it was broken by Harrison. As Harrison's was measured by an Apache laser, it is probably the only accurate one too. He shot two machine gunners at that range.
Model Railway Noob. Francis M. Was a WW1 Sniper if I remember correctly. Also, If I remember correctly, he used a breech loading British-mfgd single shot chambered in .303 British. Now that is some damn fine shooting!!!
there is currently a sniper alive today who is more deadly than craig harrison who is also british tho his name is unknown to protect him from the taliban
11DNA11 on myth busters they proved it impossible with a modern scope, but when they used a historically accurate scope and armor piercing bullets they showed it was plausible.
An error about the Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä. He was not hit by an explosive bullet. He was wounded in a counter attack to Soviet positions and was first thought dead when his comrades found him after the attack. His confirmed over 500 kills were from sniper shots alone. Besides that he is credited for several hundred unconfirmed kills in repelling or counter attacking the Soviets using a Suomi submachine gun.
I heard somewhere that Carlos Hathcock once tried to replicate the shots of Lee Harvey Oswald and couldn't do it, which seems to prove Oswald didn't do it or had help.
@@ChrisTian-lf2oh it was an unnamed JTF2 sniper in Iraq in 2017 at 3450m. Also, the Aussies bagged on in Afghanistan in 2011 (i.e. after Harrison) at 2815m.
You have omitted one of the deadliest snipers of the First World War. Francis Pegahmagabow was born on March 9, 1891,on what is now the Shawanaga First Nation reserve in Nobel, Ontario, Canada. He was an Ojibwa native and served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Belgium and France. He was credited with 378 kills and 300 enemy captured. He was awarded the Military Medal with two bars. No history of great snipers is complete without including this exceptional marksman and scout.
Moms demand action needs to be stopped.Contact your legislators yourself .Don't expect others to do it for you! If we don't, history videos will be all that's left.Thank you.
Guys, as Adrian Larkins says below, you show african buffalo instead of Bison when you speak about bufalo. I couldn't continue watching since the rest might be as mistaken as that.
My favorite Russian sniper was Vasily Zaytsev. He was the one in Stalingrad that took out many German officers, including Germany's best sniper, Major Erwin Koenig. In the movie 'Enemy At The Gate', Vasily was played by Jude Law and the Major was played by Ed Harris. Good movie, but Hollywood change the ending. It really ended with Vasily shooting first, and his bullet went through the Major's scope and through his eye and head. BTW, Carlos Hathcock did the same thing to the Viet Cong's number one sniper as well. I was in the military for 17 years, and my brother became a dealer in firearms for a number of years. Once, when I was at his house over Thanksgiving weekend, I went outside for a smoke, and he joined me. We were just shooting the breeze when I just happened to look at the license plate on his pickup. His plate had 'ZAYTSEV' on it, and I said the name aloud, and my brother looked at me and asked me if I knew that name and I told him yes and about the movie. He was amazed, because I am the only one who has known what his plate refers to. However, he had never heard of the movie. He later rented it and said to me that the ending had been changed, and I told him that I knew it had been, too.
Vasil Kvachantiradze (Georgian: ვასილ შალვას ძე კვაჭანტირაძე; January 1907 - February 9, 1950) was a top Soviet sniper during World War II. He entered Red Army service in 1941 and is credited with confirmed kills numbering at least 215 officers and soldiers of the German Wehrmacht during the Vitebsk-Orsha Offensive.[1][2] and around 534 confirmed kills total during Operation Bagration or during the war.
There are no water buffalo in the Texas Panhandle. "Buffalo"in North America is a bison. Billy Dixon in his autobiography said that he made the shot with a 40-60 Sharps. Quanah Parker was on horseback next to the indian Dixon shot and they met at Ft Sill,Okalhoma some years later.

The picture at about 0:30 "hunting buffalo" is of water buffalo which do not exist in the US. The American Buffalo is really a bison.
Also forgot to mention that Simo Häyhä didnt use scope on hes rifle. All kills were done using only the ironsights.
Absolutely extraordinary, wasn't it. He said that a scope required you to raise your head too high, exposing you to visual observation and enemy fire.
True
He didn't say that. He shot from a sitting position so it wouldn't matter. Scopes weren't weatherproof so moisture would infiltrate and cause fog and frost. No scope also eliminates reflections and glare.

Assuming you mean the character from enemy at the gates, I don't think that fictitious events count towards his kill count.

***** the movie was partly based on real. Events.
That's awesome! These military action heroes were really look like real-life LVN Action Heroes!
There is a major error in the video. While discussing Adelbert Waldron, a picture of Master Sergeant Gary Gordon is displayed, with Waldron's name displayed. MSG Gordon was a member of the U.S. Army's 1-SFOD-D, aka Delta. He and his partner SGT Randall Shugart were both killed in the battle of Mogadishu. This is the battle that the movie "Blackhawk Down" was based upon. Both Gordon and Shugart posthumously received the Medal of Honor, due to their actions in attempting to protect their fellow American servicemen.
It looks like at 8:24 they are supposedly showing the PUC, I don't think so. My late brother had one and those aren't the colors.
I have a book here by one dubbed "Lady Death" Lyudmila Pavlichencko. Apparently, she was good, but no mention? She fought in Stalins Red Army.
"Mek' ong" Delta. You are the height of depth.
Ignorance shows. Those buffalo are African buffalo - real buffalo. What Americans call buffalo are actually bison.
thank you I was praying that someone else caught this in the comments lol IGNORANCE is BLISS
Yeah, African water buffaloes.....
African Cape buffalo actually
Yeah, that's when I quit watching this vid. If they can't get the simple facts right, the rest must be shit.
She has an American accent. How can an American get the buffalo identification wrong?
Maybe she is a Millennial.
It`s sad that you forgot Francis Pegahmagabow a Canadian Sniper with the most kills during WWI.
389 confirmed.
The video is incomplete and not quite accurate because they left out Lyudmila Pavlichenko who had 309 confirmed kills.
Why did I guess most of them would be Americans !!!!!!!
SIMO WAS THE GREATEST BUT HAD EASY JOB BECAUSE RUSSIA WAS RULED BY BOLSHEVIKS AND THREY WERE INTERNAL ENEMIES OF ALL SLAVS, SPECIALLY OF RUSSIANS. THAT WAS THE REASON THAT MASTERS OF RED ARMY DID NOT PROVIDE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WITH WHITE COVERS OR UNIFORMS LIKE FINNISH SOLDIERS HAD. WAR WAS IN THE WINTER WHEN EVERYTHING WAS WHITE AND RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WERE STANDING IN DARK UNIFORMS LIKE IDEAL TARGET FOR FINNS. THAT WAS THE GOAL OF BOLSHEVIK MASTERS OF SOWIET UNION TO EXTERMINATE RUSSIANS.
killing people its not easy job.
Marcfj they left out the pilot who took out that one trade center.
It is their channel. And I do agree this isn't accurate. There were many skilled soldiers/ hunters. Only less then a handfull get named/ honered by the media. All those other people are forgotten (by purpose or mistake) in to the grave.
Simo didn't use a scope on his rifle
360 no scope!!
If he was American he would have 5 movies about him by now
He didnt use the regular sniper scope, but he did use some kind of scope. In Finnish the regular sniper scope is "Kiikaritähtäin" which directly translates to "Binocular Scope" I think, I'm Finnish and my English isn't the best so yeah.
I have seen him pictured with both a standard iron sight rifle and
with a scoped one. But I can attest to the fact that you can
hit a person sized target easily with iron sights at 600 yards or more
if you practice and are reasonably good with a rifle.
When we are younger, our eyes work a lot better. I
used a 1930 vintage Persian Mauser at our shooting
range to plant a 12" group of 6 shots at 640 yards using the
rifle's iron sights. A lot of the people at the range can not
do any better with their scoped rifles. The other thing about
iron sights is they don't fog up and your sight picture is huge allowing
for fast accurate shots on multiple targets. Never underestimate iron sights
when in the hands of a good rifleman.
@@seeltf He used only iron sight. Nothing else.
Firstly, let me state that I haven't even watched the video in it's entirety - questioning if I should at all as I couldn't make it through the first story. Right from the beginning this video is crap. Extolling the virtues of Billy Dixon as a buffalo hunter on the plains of America while using clips of Cape Water Buffaloes during the telling of the story is nothing short of intellectual laziness.
Now, back to the video - I'm sure there'll be other fuck ups.
Not laziness, stupidity.
My favorite sniper was an American Confederate soldier by the name of Jack Hinson. After Lincoln cutthroats murdered his children.
Mr Hinson used a custom made 50 caliber 41-inch barrel Kentucky Long Rifle to target Union soldiers more than a half-mile away on land, transports, and gunboats along the Tennessee River and the Cumberland River, killing as many as a hundred. Mr Hinson also served as a guide for American hero Nathan Bedford Forrest in his assault on the Union supply center at Johnsonville, Tennessee in November 1864.
This is the second sniper video I have seen that claims Hayha had 505 kills, yet everything I can find researching the net says he ahs 542.
Also that he never used telescopic sights, and was using a rifle, by preference, that was already obsolete even for regular infantry, never mind any current, state-of-the-art, specialist sniper weapon.
Francis Pegahmagabow was not only the most successful sniper of World War 1, but he is also among the most decorated aboriginal soldiers in history. He joined the Canadian Army in 1914 and quickly made a name for himself as a sniper during reconnaissance missions.
Hyha was also unique in that he didn't use a scope which makes hime even more impressive!
About female snipers. You probably should also mention Lyudmila Pavlichenko, most successful female sniper in the world. She killed more than 300 nazi soldiers and officers including enemy snipers.
1940s femenists!
Right. After she was wounded, the Soviet government took Pavilchenko on a tour of the US in 1942 to raise support for the war.
In Madison Square Garden, she said, "Gentlemen, I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascists. Haven't you been hiding behind my skirts long enough?"
How is Chris Kyle in this video and where the FUCK is Vasilij Zajtsev?
He's the only sniper I could name before watching this poorly made video MagaMan.
Sorry but Gunny Hathcock is the best sniper. Hello the Marines shaped their sniper school around how he shot. Gunny Hathcock shot open sights and he did took shots others wouldn't or couldn't. When I went through boot camp for the Marines I worked to be a female version of Gunny Hathcock.
Chris Kyle was still getting his kills while I was in. So he wasn't a role model for me.
William Edward "Billy" Sing, DCM was an Australian soldier of Chinese and English descent who served in the Australian Imperial Force during World War I, best known as a sniper during the Gallipoli Campaign. He took at least 150 confirmed kills during that campaign, and may have had over 200 kills in total

They left out that Carlos Hathcock was burned so badly because he went back to the burning vehicle multiple times pulling out several of the troops he was traveling with at the time. They also didn't mention a shot he fired that was approximately 2,500 yards if I remember correctly. He and his spotter had a platoon pinned down and killed multiple enemies that day. I don't recall the exact amount, but it was a lot higher than 5, which is still respectable. After reading a lot of the post below, there are a lot of issues with this list and the video/photos themselves.

You've forgotten "Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko, was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, who was credited with 309 confirmed kills, making her the most successful female sniper in recorded history. Pavlichenko was nicknamed "Lady Death" for her incredible ability with a sniper rifle"

And a Canadian has the record for longest kill. In fact the record for the 4 of the longest 6 confirmed kills shots are held by Canadians.
No the Canadian's was broken by Harrison. That is still the longest confirmed kill and as it was measured by an Apache laser, it is probably the most accurate.
@@modelrailwaynoob
Sorry, but in '01 (or '02) a Canadian sniper in Afghanistan broke the long-standing record of longest confirmed kill, set by an American in Vietnam. Another Canadian topped that shot shortly thereafter. Harrison set a new record in '09--but another Canadian earlier this year again recorded the longest kill.
Well Canadian special ops are among the best in the world. No surprise there.
Harrison record is 2.4 km , 6 sec to target. Canadian 3.45 km , 10 sec.
@W J but what?
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko (Belova) was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She is credited with killing 309 enemy combatants. Woody Guthrie even composed a song about her - "Miss Pavlichenko"
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko was a Red Army Soviet sniper during World War II,[1] credited with 309 kills. She is regarded as one of the top military snipers of all time[2] and the most successful female sniper in history.
Mikhail Surkov According to Soviet sources, Surkov had 702 confirmed kills during World War II, a total which would make him the most effective sniper of the European conflict.
I can go to at a State Fair, shoot more animals at the carnival. THAT'S WHAT SHE DID, there is no honor but getting the big STUFFED ANIMAL. Snipers have no HONOR.
378 confirmed kills by Canadian First Nations soldier Francis Pegahmagabow in WW1. And 300 prisoners. Extremely deadly with a 303 rifle. Outstanding.
Outstanding for sure. Canadian snipers are very very good.
You forgot Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
she was not a lying american..she was the best
No idea what the heck you are talking about.
they seem to onlyrecognise their inflated hero"s.a Ukrainain is not glamorous enough
I cannot understand why shes not on this list,it makes no sense..
I watched her life story movie, it was inspration. This video has lack of information Lyudmila shouldn't be forgotten.
(Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, credited with 309 kills. She is regarded as one of the top military snipers of all time and the most successful female sniper in history)
Hunted Water Buffalo in Texas? Impressive!
I'm filipino and i'm sure thats a carabao or waterbuffalo that is in the beginning part of this video
I know! Who knew?
@@w9jim No one. No Water Buffalo in Texas, except maybe in zoos.
That’s a loooong shot.
How can I believe any of this when they don't even know the difference between a Water Buffalo and North American Buffalo.
Francis Pegahmagabow (Peggy) belongs on this list too. He was the most effective sniper of all of ww1 from either side with 378 confirmed kills and over 300 captures. He was a First Nations man born in Canada.
Really? I had no idea that my home state had a marsh in the pan handle and that wild water buffalo roamed. My native ancestors must have been ashamed, because they never told me the stories. Quanah Parker must have been telling us about a different place.
You showed a picture of Gary Gordon, one of the snipers from Black hawk down while discussing Albert Waldron.
You lose serious credibility when you mispronounce several words but the most egregious mistake was showing a Cape buffalo while talking about a North American bison. Come on, get the simple stuff right.
Or showing the United States DoD emblem while speaking about a British soldier. Says "ministry of defense"...but shows DoD emblem.
No Francis Pegahmagabow the deadliest sniper in WW1 with 378 kills and 300 captures?
You forgot that Simo only used Iron sights on his rifle.
Would it be that hard to get footage of buffalo/bison rather than water buffalo?
Roza Shanina was a great sniper, very brave and very beautiful, but she was not close to being the most successful Soviet female sniper of WW2. That honor would go to Lyudmila Pavlichenko who was credited with 309 kills and is considered the most successful female sniper in history. There were 25 Soviet female snipers during WW2 with more kills than Roza.
As for Fyodor Ohlopkov his 429 kills were ninth most among the Soviets. The #1 sniper of WW2 was Mihail Ilyich Surkov with 702 kills. There were 4 Soviets with more confirmed kills than the Finn, Simo Hayha.
Vasily Zaitsev, the sniper the movie Enemy at the Gates was made about, is probably the most famous WW2 Soviet sniper, but his 242 kills place him far down the list for total kills.
Ljudmila Pavlichenko and Roza Shanina were both great sharpshooters.
Shooting sitting ducks is one thing.
There is a book written by russian historian Lyuba Vinogradova "Avenging Angels: Soviet Women Snipers on the Eastern Front, 1941-1945"
Vinogradova has an interesting chapter on Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
Lyudmila Pavlichenko, history’s deadliest female sniper, is considered to be a Soviet propaganda myth!!!.
A few quotes from this remarkable book: "Pavlichenko, who "shot one hundred and eighty-seven fascists", was not even rewarded for fighting in Odessa battle. How is this possible? After all, not only were the soldiers medal awarded, but also the chefs, administrative staff, and even the artists of the front brigades to raise morale in the army. It is all the more strange that for ten killed or wounded enemies the Soviet sniper received a medal, twenty guaranteed the order. Seventy-five is a bricked hero of the Soviet Union. Therefore, until the end of 1941, Pavlichenko should be twice the Hero. Meanwhile, on her first order she had to wait for the fall of Sevastopol. She received it during convalescence in a New Russian hospital. The Golden Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union decorated her breast only after returning from across the ocean in 1943!!!"
Inaccuracies and questions are much more but than You have to find it just by Yourself ...
Veli, Ljudmila wasn't ... read my post above.
Roza Shanina was a very fine shot. She made plenty of shots in a short period of time, before she got killed. That is why she is mentioned. Had she lasted out the war, she might have been the number 1 sniper of Russia!
carlos hathcock actually pulled the rest of his squad out of that burning vehicle as well.. you give him little credit for such an honorable man..
Which is why he got serious burns.
Roza Shanina - 59 confirmed kills
Chris Kyle - 160 confirmed kills
Vasily Zaytsev - 242 confirmed kills
Roza & Chris are on this list, except Vasily.
Also what does the thumbnail have to do with this video???
ExGamArs b
Can't forget Lyudmila Pavlichenko! She had around 309 confirmed kills but that number could have been closer to 500!
I left when they showed water buffalo while talking about hunting bison on the American plains
So did I.
I noticed the same thing. ruins all the credibility very tacky
That's not Adelbert Waldron at 8:16. It's Master Sgt. Gary Gordon who was killed in Somalia protecting Super 6-4 - the second downed Black Hawk MH-60L - during the Battle of Mogadishu on October 3, 1993.
Where are Wassili Saizew, Matthäus Hetzenauer, Sepp Allerberger and Ljudmila Pawlitschenko ??? Ah ok it is an american made list. That say all...
I'm American, and I disagree, just like you.

@ Donald Walker: Sorry buddy, but Heinz Sielmann was a famous german zoologist and animalfilm-maker. His televisionshow "Expeditions into the Animal Kingdom", for example, lastet from1965 to 1991.
Jealous of the USA much? LOL USA#1!
Heinz Sielmann action
That Pystykorva rifle was not the only weapon Häyhä used, Suomi submachine gun was his second preferred weapon, almost half of his kills were made with the submachinegun and yeah he did not use scopes of any kind.
no sniper list will be complete with out simo häyhä specially when he only used iron sights
and häyhä was hunted by soviet snipers and altillery

So, I shot and killed 50 rats from 75 feet with a co2 bb gun. In 4 days. I was using zinc coated bbs, they spark when you hit concrete, that way you can tell where the bb hit.
Chris Kyle swore on the Bible that Hathcock was a better sniper than he was.
That wouldn't be difficult as Kyle made most of his heroic deeds up and how stupid can you be to take someone with a mental problem to a gun range and leave him with 2 loaded guns and walk off down range with his friend. It's not a very bright thing to do.
#8 that West Virginia boy Billy Dixion was pretty impressive for what he was using.
Erm, I think you'll find war broke out against Germany in 1939, not 1941. 1941 is when America joined, after years of fence sitting...
Great. Not. Showing a picture of Delta sniper Gary Gordon (KIA @ Mogadishu 1993) when narrating about Adelbert Waldron. Be precise or don't make a video at all.
Why did the bio on Billy Dixon say he went to hunt buffalo and showed a water buffalo and not a bison? Did he go to Vietnam Nam?
Missed was the Canadian sniper who is accredited with the longest shot in history.
They prefer to overlook that because he's Canadian.
I LOVE LOVE your show! Its a good day when you learn something new every day! Which i do! Thanks! Youre truly AWESOME girl!
thanks for watching! love her voice. No mention for vasiley saitsev or the guy jude law played in the battle of stalingrad. or was he a fictional character?
My understanding is that Zaitsev was very real but that König was a Soviet propaganda creation to boost the legend thus boost general troop morale
The Purple Heart isn't for "brave efforts." It is for being wounded. The Silver Star is for bravery.
Purpele Heart is rewarded for being wounded in combat IIRC
@@taurektaurek6213 That is what I meant. I left out the word "combat", but for those of us who spent a whole career in the military we already know that. I served four "combat" tours. Besides, the video was talking about combat. That is a given.
@@taurektaurek6213 What is the "Purpele Heart?"
Really?! A sniper list without Francis Pegahmagabow.
How could you not name Lyudmila Pavlachenko? She had over 300 confirmed kills in WWII. Even Woody Guthrie wrote a song in her honor!
I was expecting her to be their too.
An ok video. The buffalo/bison thing bothered me. But what was really bad is at the 8:15 mark. You were talking about Abelbert Waldon and you showed a picture of MSG Gary Gordon. He was a Medal Of Honor recipient from the Battle of Mogadishu....aka, Black Hawk Down. i sure wish people would do a little research before they look foolish.
They left out a Canadian sniper who broke records for distance !
Convenient
Look at when this was published.....the record stood as it was on time of broadcast...but obviously its now been broken.
@@cronas2 No Harrison's is still the distance record. The Canadian was the longest shot before it was broken by Harrison. As Harrison's was measured by an Apache laser, it is probably the only accurate one too. He shot two machine gunners at that range.
Model Railway Noob. Francis M. Was a WW1 Sniper if I remember correctly. Also, If I remember correctly, he used a breech loading British-mfgd single shot chambered in .303 British. Now that is some damn fine shooting!!!
there is currently a sniper alive today who is more deadly than craig harrison who is also british tho his name is unknown to protect him from the taliban
This video is missleading. Simo didnt have a rifle scope!
But the weapon was sniper rifle
Pretty amazed that Vasily Zaytsev didn't get a mention.
No Lyudmila Pavlichenko?
Lol at 0:42, that would be an African continent Cape Buffalo, so much fail.
Yesss I knew it Carlos Hathcock just had to be here, legendary marine sniper.
Carlos Hathcock also shot an enemy through the scope into their eyeballs
Which was proven not possible.
that's not even posiable, the bullet would get stopped or deflected by all the layers of glass in the scope
11DNA11 on myth busters they proved it impossible with a modern scope, but when they used a historically accurate scope and armor piercing bullets they showed it was plausible.
Guess Again
The White Daeth never used a scope. Strike 6. You're OUT.
what about Vassili Zaitsev
An error about the Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä. He was not hit by an explosive bullet. He was wounded in a counter attack to Soviet positions and was first thought dead when his comrades found him after the attack. His confirmed over 500 kills were from sniper shots alone. Besides that he is credited for several hundred unconfirmed kills in repelling or counter attacking the Soviets using a Suomi submachine gun.
Narration discusses "buffalo" in context of Texas panhandle (Adobe Wells), and shows pictures of WATER BUFFALO
from Asia. REALLY?
Ha ha i did that to see if u wore pying ATTEntioN
I heard somewhere that Carlos Hathcock once tried to replicate the shots of Lee Harvey Oswald and couldn't do it, which seems to prove Oswald didn't do it or had help.
A Canadian has the longest sniper shot on record not a British Citizen please fix
Who and how long?
@@ChrisTian-lf2oh it was an unnamed JTF2 sniper in Iraq in 2017 at 3450m. Also, the Aussies bagged on in Afghanistan in 2011 (i.e. after Harrison) at 2815m.
You have omitted one of the deadliest snipers of the First World War.
Francis Pegahmagabow was born on March 9, 1891,on what is now the Shawanaga First Nation reserve in Nobel, Ontario, Canada. He was an Ojibwa native and served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Belgium and France. He was credited with 378 kills and 300 enemy captured. He was awarded the Military Medal with two bars. No history of great snipers is complete without including this exceptional marksman and scout.
You forgot about that simo hayha killed another 200 Soviets with a machine gun
Moms demand action needs to be stopped.Contact your legislators yourself .Don't expect others to do it for you! If we don't, history videos will be all that's left.Thank you.
Guys, as Adrian Larkins says below, you show african buffalo instead of Bison when you speak about bufalo. I couldn't continue watching since the rest might be as mistaken as that.
My favorite Russian sniper was Vasily Zaytsev. He was the one in Stalingrad that took out many German officers, including Germany's best sniper, Major Erwin Koenig. In the movie 'Enemy At The Gate', Vasily was played by Jude Law and the Major was played by Ed Harris. Good movie, but Hollywood change the ending. It really ended with Vasily shooting first, and his bullet went through the Major's scope and through his eye and head.
BTW, Carlos Hathcock did the same thing to the Viet Cong's number one sniper as well.
I was in the military for 17 years, and my brother became a dealer in firearms for a number of years. Once, when I was at his house over Thanksgiving weekend, I went outside for a smoke, and he joined me. We were just shooting the breeze when I just happened to look at the license plate on his pickup. His plate had 'ZAYTSEV' on it, and I said the name aloud, and my brother looked at me and asked me if I knew that name and I told him yes and about the movie. He was amazed, because I am the only one who has known what his plate refers to. However, he had never heard of the movie. He later rented it and said to me that the ending had been changed, and I told him that I knew it had been, too.
Yes she was a legend .
That was never confirmed. The story says Vasilli shot through a gap where the major was hiding under and luckely hit him deadly
Erwin Koenig did not exist, he was an invention of Soviet propaganda.
Vasil Kvachantiradze (Georgian: ვასილ შალვას ძე კვაჭანტირაძე; January 1907 - February 9, 1950) was a top Soviet sniper during World War II. He entered Red Army service in 1941 and is credited with confirmed kills numbering at least 215 officers and soldiers of the German Wehrmacht during the Vitebsk-Orsha Offensive.[1][2] and around 534 confirmed kills total during Operation Bagration or during the war.
I didnt know we had cape buffalo in the. Panhandle of texas
There are no water buffalo in the Texas Panhandle. "Buffalo"in North America is a bison.
Billy Dixon in his autobiography said that he made the shot with a 40-60 Sharps. Quanah Parker was on horseback next to the indian Dixon shot and they met at Ft Sill,Okalhoma some years later.
