Hate to put a damper on this, but the Gunny's shot was don with your run of the mill M-2 using standard ammo.

These guys were using souped up weapons and ammo.

Like scoring home run records using aluminum bats.

Besides it took two shots, what happened to one shot one kill?

Maybe the first round was to get the target moving. A moving target is more sporting. These are Canadians after all.

Molon Labe!

Not to mention the heavy vegetation that made seeing that far quite a feat. And the VC had reaction teams that responded to snipers.

Not to bust your bubble, but Gunny's first shot hit the bicycle, the second shot nabbed the target.
