The Cornholio effect is real
If I would be on that plane, this Coriolises wouldn't even happened
Snipers account for moving targets, but I doubt they actually calculate the spin of the earth into their shot. Sounds like bullshit to me.
They do. At 800m, depending on in which direction you're shooting it can be + or - 1 feet in drop with .308
easy just aim at their midsection it hits either the head or the nuts
why do you mix meter and feet
It's science bro
cause I am euro, 800m is fairly easy to comprehend even for the dumb mutts but saying roughly 30cm is too big brain for your puny Black Black person brains so had to switch units mid sentence and resort to feet cause you bubba your shit like that
marine reconnaissance snipers use a mix of metric and imperial
I can smell the bullshit from behind my screen, pathetic larper.
Ooo naughty you've mixed metric and imperial

This scene make sense if it’s secretly about something else, like “rods from god”
>but I doubt they actually calculate the spin of the earth into their shot. Sounds like bullshit to me.
It's for shooting at like 1-2 km or more. At those ranges you might even account for humidity. They don't need to do calculations on the fly, if they've prepared cards beforehand that have the necessary adjustments calculated and written down.
Most don't have to, but artillery men definitely do.
homie got X-ray vision
So if I jump off the ground why doesn't the earth move beneath me?
how do you know it doesn't
Because I land in the same spot
how do you know you didn't land a micrometer off assuming you jumped straight up
it moves beneath you whether you jump or not, idiot.
you are moving the same speed and direction as the earth is, same thing that happens when you jump on a train and land in "the same spot" your relative position in the train doesn't change but to someone outside you would appear to cover a distance while in the air.
if a hummingbird was inside of a train would it move with the train too?
yes, the air inside of the train car moves with it
oh okay
why doesn't the mafia use snipers
They did on JFK.
They do sometimes like on Nicolo Rizzuto and Bugsy Siegel, but mostly they don't because a bunch of street guineas don't have the skills to be effective snipers. they're better at shooting their friends in the back of the head from less than a foot away.
OH N-
if he was on that plane the bullet would have gone down differently
>movie character is 100% right and can't be nitpicked
/tv/'s gonna freak
big deal
