he missed/grazed the guy then someone shopped in cross hairs.

Its a richocet, maybe the bullet hit his teeth but it still sound absurd
Tracer hits rifle or belt buckle or something and bounces off, while tracer component breaks away from projectile and whizzes away in random direction.
>>33737169
you can clearly see in the video the bullet hit his face/neck
>bullet blows guys jaw off
>bullet destablizes and flies off
>>33737166
good job not watching the video you fucking retard

Sniper is to the left of the cameraman.
Sniper shoots, hits man in upper shoulder/base of the neck.
7.62x54r traveling 3,000fps isn't stopped by 6 inches of flesh, the shot goes completely through him but tumbles on the way out. Tracer flies out in tumbling fashion upwards.

As it turns out, we live in the Matrix, but Neo is a sandman.
>>33737169
so why is he holding his face?
i think either the tracer compound broke away from the bullet and hit the guy, or the round hit's the barrel of the other guys rifle and then hits turban man in the face.
or the bullet legit ricocheted off the guys skull.
a lot of older iraqi men have gold teeth
and it looks like it hits him in the mouth area
could be a possibility

The replies to tweet say it hit goatfucker's jaw and ricocheted off.
>>33737151
maybe he has a medical metal implant in his jaw

Sniper shoots tracer round.
Round hits the target with a glancing blow. Potentially ricochet off his teeth, but may as well have taken half his jaw, it's hard to tell.
Tracer section of the bullet separates & flies off eratically as happens often when a bullet hits something solid.
Target is stunned (and potentially lost a few teeth or a section of his jaw).
Sniper can't believe what just happened and pops off another round, but misses.
How it feels to chew 5 gum.

You can see how fast and erratic the tracer element flies off, if it was the whole bullet it would fly off at shallower, direct and slower angle.

use google math to put it to m/s

I agree. It would require much more bone than a jaw to deflect a bullet like that. It has to be cheap tracer rounds where the burning compound flies out and hits the man. This is also aparent as the burning material looks as if it increases in velocity after hitting the mans jaw while flying in a strange parabolic trajectory. A normal lead bullet will loose much of its energy and have shallower angles of deflection, tumbling of the bullet could not have created the trajectory we see, not enough surface area to move the mass the bullet has.

To add even further, look at how the compound hits the man on his right side of the jaw. Pause a few frames after and you can see the the compound goes straight up at a near 90° angle. The force that would have been imparted on that mans face if a bullet had hit him would be enough to knock his head back and cause much more serious injury.

i hope for your sake that you're pretending to be retarded
