If Overton Windex made a movie

This is why you hire a professional firearms person when producing a show. Bad part is the stupid public will believe in shit like this.
Is that Overblown Blimpex guy still around, or has the rest of YouTube figured out what a poser he is?
William Fichtner is a good actor but he can only read the lines given to him.
Shoot, entire story lines have been in error, even with a retired military expert consulting. My favorite example is "Tears of the Sun."
So, the team, led Willis, is to drop in, find a doctor working with Doctors without Borders and extract her. Nigeria is in a civil war and foreigners like her are in great danger.
The mission is planned. Many technical details are correct, thanks to the retired SEAL who is consulting. But he is there only to advise on some procedures and tactics.
The mission is to locate her, get to ex-fil, be back aboard ship in time for dinner.
They get there and find her. She says she can't leave these patients. The rest of the movie is sneaking to the border because they could not be extracted. And that is where it goes all wrong.
SEALs are no-fail. Accomplish the objective regardless of obstacles. Even if the obstacle is the person to be extracted. Proper procedure is to detain and restrain the person and search for weapons and traps. Then you get them out of there. If she refuses, then the medic on the team (everyone has some special skill) gives her a tranquilizer shot when she is not looking. She goes to sleep and the guy on the team who is my size lugs her out with the other guys protecting. Make time to the EP. Back aboard ship by dinner bell.
Anyway, yes, OW is still on youtube. I happened across a live stream of him talking about his heart surgery and playing online poker while smoking a cig. That's 5 minutes I will not get back.

One thing they will never get right in movies. It could be a 1000, 1 mile, 2 mile shot. It will always show the target like he is at 100 yards away on with a 25x scope.
The man kills one Redbull and the hide has problems 
jk

The movie is dumber than that. Willis' team does get extracted but on the way back they fly over a village and see everyone has been slaughtered. He gets all up in his feels about it, tells the pilot to turn back around like it's Uber, and they get dropped off at their exfil point. Turns out one of the crowd is a literal puss cake of an African prince or some shit so they gotta save him too. Anyways, Doc Tits lives, most of the SEALs die, and Africa keeps being Africa.
Well, he could have shot a bud light instead of wasting a perfectly good Red Bull.The man kills one Redbull and the hide has problems
And he could have tried not bullshitting about the distance while he was at it.
Dude brags about having $7K's worth of camera equipment, yet doesn't have a single phone scope or scope camera.
Then he followed that up with a half inch group at 500 yards in the exact same fashion.
Ain't much different than the Hide member here showing a .4", 20 shot group at almost 300 yards in high winds...with an AR...which is 2/3 the size of the benchrest record at that distance for just 10 shots.
^ At some point, you're going to bullshit in front of people who know better.
Holy shit! It's like he watched the movie and decided he was that very same guy and to reenact this scene for his YT channel.
Yep. I actually saw his Red Bull video before I joined the hide. I was immediately unimpressed with his lie. So I decided then and there if I ever watched any of his videos again it would be purely as entertainment.
Or when someone pulls the trigger on an empty glock or 1911 and it clicks like a revolver.
Not sure if asking about the .4" group guy or not. I can direct you into the beginning of the storytelling though if interested.
lol. What’s wrong with dry firing a Glock? I’ve heard of guys breaking their 1911, but not a Glock.
I think he's just talking about the incorrect sound effect.
Wait a miniute. The Overton family sells stuff to waterskier’s. Their daughter, Christy Overton was really really good, Master’s and would championship waterskier good.
Windex makes wind indicators for sailboats.
So WTF has any of this have to do with Precision Rifles / Snipers / Men of the Hide????????

Yo missed the homework assignment. Please log into YouTube and search “Overton windex.”
Do I have too? It don’t sound like its gonna be fun. More like reading the (No so) affordable care act.
You are missing pure internet bullshitter gold man.
Here. I'll help you out:
And my favorite:
This thread should explain it all.
2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.
I've watched a couple of his videos, something just seems off about this guy. Waaaay too defensive and lacking any modesty of the great shooters I know.

Oh so that’s his name. The coke can shooter. I once shot a coke can at five miles, or was it five yards, at my age I am having double resembling.This thread should explain it all.

Just like the many Chinese produced WWII epic TV serials, which do hold the creme de la creme for pure adrenaline action, but when it comes to detailed gun and artillery handling, they are just like any other. The main trope has always been that of a bloodied and near-death hero, who is bleeding out from many wounds, eyes and face caked with blood, who agonizingly pulls a mud crusted infantry rifle from a waterlogged shell crater, with no calibration or adjustments and makes a single 1 mile shot that nails the Japanese officer straight between the eyes.
At least your command of the English language has not been diminished by the ravages of time.
