So hate me if you must......I never tire of watching this.
My 15-minutes of fame.
MythBusters: Sniper Science : Video : Discovery Channel

Are you in fact sniper Dave? Or the spotter guy? Either way that was AWESOME, did you get to talk to the Mythbusters at all?

 

[Vincine]

If I was involved in a shot like that and it was caught on tape, I wouldn't tire of it either.

He's the spotter I'd assume. I saw "Mussack" on your ear-pro.

EDIT: Awesome skills in that video, both as shooter and spotter.

Good observational skills, I didn't notice until you pointed that out.

That is so awesome, the spotter has a huge job as well, and the fact you got to work with Mythbusters is incredible! That is more then your 15 minutes, that is a once in a lifetime opportunity CAUGHT ON CAMERA! Congrats.

I wish I had a runway to snipe down! Sweet vid!

 

[Guest]

Yep, I was the spotter.
That's me in the middle.

That is so cool Kevin, can you tell us a little about the Sniper's rifle and what kind of accuracy he get's with it, factory round's? or reloads? I noticed the barrel looks short and fat, could have been an illusion though.

I wasn't aware we had any celebrities on this site.

How did you even get recruited for that?!

 

[Veudreaux]

That is pretty sweet. Now I'll pay extra attention to the posts in the LRPS forum

 

[Darthgamer138]

Can I have your autograph? Or at least a "like" on this post? xD

 

[Degenret]

That was awesome but I would rather work the episode where Kari Byron gets wet. 4:02 in vid

Since Dave is the vice president of Military Sales for Desert Tactical Arms (DTA) he was using one of their bullpup rifles in .338LM with a full 26-inch barrel. The bullpup design can be misleading.

The ammunition was factory Blackhills 300-grain stuff.

As for how I got "recruited" for the show; it's a long story. Adam knew somebody that knew Dave who knew me. It was just dumb luck.

Kevin, how is the trigger in that bullpup? I would think it has to be pretty damn good, but it is a bullpup...

 

[Sweet98]

I saw that episode when it originally aired, many kudos for getting to do something so awesome... I'm pretty sure a lot of us would love to meet those guys!

So are you guys saying that a bullpup design is a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know anything about them

 

[Guest]

The bullpup design is just a thing.
It works while being a smaller package.
An interesting feature of the DTA rifle is the 60-second caliber change.

Actually is could be easily argued that the spotter is the more important/technical of the 2 jobs. If you don't have the proper dope for the shot, you probably aren't going to make it.

Thanks for posting this Kevin. I missed the show when it was aired.

 

[NY15]

It was a very interesting epsiode. At least you weren't the spotter for the cannon ball episode.

 

[de17walt]

Never down play your role in the shot, because without you the shooter wouldn't of made such a great shot. Congrats on a great job spotting!!
