He will take a second shot because he did so in one of the frames and appeared to miss. I also notice that he left quite a few WIA's. Either he isn't a very good shot or, he's firing from an unstable platform such as a car trunk.

I haven't seen the video, but from what I understand the Dragunov, and presumably this Tabuk, isn't much of a sniper rifle. I believe they are only good for something like 1 MOA, so I doubt he could get away with anything further out.

He hit at least one guy in the leg and another in the forearm.

Actually, I've heard Peter Kokalis state that the Dragunov was a mass-produced field-issued marksman rifle, not a true sniper rifle, so is it a surprise that it's not all that accurate or long-ranged? It's a sharpshooter's personal weapon intended to give a squad some punch a little distance beyond standard rifle range.
