Range is very well baffled. Perfectly safe.
What struck me as interesting is that his rifle has iron sights. No scope. Not easy at that range.
There’s a legend around that some Nazi type asked a Swiss what they would do if Hitler invaded. The Swiss answered “We will all fire our rifles and then go home”. Not to be dissuaded the Nazi said “What if we come with twice as many troops as you have?”. Swiss answer: “Then we will all fire our rifles twice.”
Good irons in the hands of a good shooter can be formidable. There’s a YouTube video on “9 Hole Reviews” of a Finnish Mosin being shot out to 1100 yards.
“No scope. Not easy at that range.”
Wrong. From google earth, range is about 300 meters. Easy iron sight range.
