The Sniper movie with Tom Berenger was based on the “shot” by Carlos Hathcock. But here’s an excellent comment in the comments section:

POST: Mythbusters tried the scope shot and declared it busted, I’m probably the 600th person to say so.

REPLY: Mythbusters didn’t go to Marine boot camp and do two tours in Vietnam.

Reply: Mythbusters never heard of Simo Häyhä

Ever wonder what the results are like for the fella who's the recipient of such a shot?

Simo got better, too. That guy was White Death with iron sights. What gets me is that in addition to the 500 confirmed rifle kills he took down 200 Russians with a submachine gun during that same 100-day period. How good do you have to be to take out 200 people with a short-range weapon and never get a scratch?

I'm thinking that invading Finland might not have been a good idea. Don't know how I got that idea...
