I Tried Escaping A Special Operations Sniper - YouTube
Channel: BuzzFeed Multiplayer
[0]
- One responsibility of a sniper
[2]
is to shoot targets with deadly accuracy.
[4]
Today, I'm meeting a former sniper
[6]
to see if I can escape
him without getting shot.
[10]
My brilliant strategy is not to outrun him
[13]
but to confuse him.
[14]
- You guys want to grab some quesadillas?
[16]
- I had three muffins today.
[17]
- Yeah, I can go for one.
- No.
[36]
- What experience do you have as a sniper?
[38]
- I served six years in
a special operations unit
[40]
in the Marine Corps as
a sniper team leader.
[42]
- What does a sniper do?
[44]
- A sniper does not just take shots.
[46]
A sniper conducts what's called overwatch
[48]
and looks over the troops
during an operation.
[51]
He also gathers intelligence.
[53]
He reports back to the command.
[55]
He scans for IEDs or
other various threats.
[59]
- How do you divide your responsibilities?
[61]
- 80 to 90% would be
gathering intelligence
[63]
and reconnaissance,
[64]
and 10 or 20% would actually
be firing the weapon.
[68]
- I'm going to challenge you to shoot me.
[70]
I have 10 minutes to escape your sight.
[72]
I'm gonna do whatever I can
[74]
and try and get away from you.
[76]
At the end of those 10 minutes,
[77]
you can fire at me.
[78]
- I'm ready.
[79]
- What will you be firing at me?
[81]
- I'll be firing a simunition round.
[83]
It travels 300 feet per second.
[84]
It has green paint.
[85]
Upon impact, it will explode
[87]
and shoot green paint all over you.
[89]
- So, it will not kill me?
[90]
- It will not kill you.
[91]
- If I do not get shot, I can eat
[93]
my favorite candy in the world,
Reese's peanut butter cups.
[97]
If you shoot me, I will be punished
[100]
by having to eat cat food.
[102]
- That simu round will hurt,
[104]
and the cat food is nasty.
[106]
- Please don't shoot me in the face.
[107]
- I will shoot you center mass.
[109]
- You're gonna aim for my ass?
[111]
- Center mass which is your chest.
[113]
- Do you think you're going to shoot me?
[114]
- I do think I'm going to.
[115]
- How confident on a scale of one to 100?
[118]
- I'll say 98.
[120]
- Good luck.
[121]
- Good luck to you.
[122]
- What the sniper didn't know
[123]
was that I spent the last two weeks
[125]
planning the perfect escape.
[128]
The first step of my master
plan is taking my clothes off.
[131]
If you think I'm getting naked,
[132]
you have no idea how many
tricks I have up my sleeve.
[135]
- I am wearing a ghillie suit.
[137]
It's used to blend in
with the natural terrain
[139]
and surroundings and to
avoid enemy detection.
[142]
It's gonna be very difficult for Mike
[143]
to see my movement out there.
[170]
Oh, he took his tie off, I see.
[173]
It is hot as (bleep) out here
[175]
with this ghillie suit on.
[178]
Oh, he's taking his shirt off.
[181]
Wow, he's getting down to business.
[186]
Do I see pants coming off too?
[188]
Is this gonna be R-rated or X-rated?
[192]
He has like a unitard or something.
[196]
Interesting.
[197]
- Under my clothes, I'm
wearing a zentai suit.
[200]
This conceals my identity
[201]
and shows off my incredible beach bod.
[211]
In the middle of my escape,
[212]
a random car pulled up next to me.
[214]
Was it a pizza delivery?
[215]
No, it was a decoy delivery.
[218]
I asked four people
with my exact body shape
[220]
to wear matching zentai suits.
[222]
- [David] Okay, we got all
kind of people assisting here.
[225]
- Who are these four decoys
willing to get shot for me?
[228]
One decoy is the barista
[229]
who I buy coffee from every morning.
[231]
- Going into this escape,
[232]
I wanted to be the one that got shot.
[234]
I like Mike, and I wanted
to make his plan work.
[237]
- Another decoy is my coworker,
[239]
who I've only spoken to three times.
[241]
- Mike's kind of a mysterious person.
[244]
I work with him, but I
don't really know him.
[246]
- Another decoy is my coworker's roommate,
[248]
who I've never met.
[249]
- Hi, I'm Nick.
[251]
- The final decoy is a comedian I met
[253]
at a party last month.
[254]
- I don't know Mike at all.
[255]
I don't really care if he gets shot.
[257]
- Now it's time to disappear
using smoke grenades.
[266]
- [David] We got, smoke's popped up.
[270]
(laughs) I like it.
[274]
We have colored smoke,
[276]
multiple suits.
[280]
- My goggles were not working properly,
[281]
so I made sure that all of the
decoys dropped their goggles.
[284]
I hope everyone was cool with that.
[286]
- The first thing he said to me was
[287]
don't wear your goggles,
[289]
which was the only protection we had.
[292]
And then I really wanted this not to work
[293]
and for him to get shot.
[297]
- Next, the decoys and
I will dance in a circle
[299]
as fast as possible.
[300]
This should make the sniper dizzy
[302]
and jealous of all the fun we're having.
[306]
- [David] Okay, so he
has multiple targets,
[309]
all with colored smoke,
[312]
obscuring the target.
[314]
It's gonna be very
difficult to tell who's who.
[322]
- After dancing up a storm,
[323]
we will pair off in groups of two or more
[325]
and hide under blankets together.
[327]
This should make it impossible to identify
[329]
which one of us is me.
[334]
- [David] Well, they're
making it real (bleep) tough.
[338]
He get five guys wearing
the same colored suits
[341]
under a blue blanket.
[344]
- We were under the blankets for a while.
[345]
We decided to play a little shell game
[347]
where we mixed up each
other under the blankets.
[351]
- Does the sniper have any idea
[352]
which one of us is the real Mike?
[354]
Watching this footage,
even I have no clue.
[358]
- [David] God, they all
look the (bleep) same.
[362]
I think they have no idea I'm behind them.
[364]
Instead of the Blue Man Group,
he's the Gray Man Group.
[369]
Let's see what we can figure out here.
[374]
- Now that time is expired,
the sniper may fire one shot.
[378]
Remember, if the sniper shoots
one of my decoys, I win.
[381]
If the sniper shoots me, I lose.
[384]
If the sniper shoots himself in the leg,
[386]
I would be very surprised.
[388]
- [Alex] Once we heard the first whistle,
[389]
we took off the blankets and lined up.
[392]
- Once we were standing in that line
[393]
and had to raise our hands
to let the sniper know
[396]
that we were ready to be shot,
[398]
my adrenaline went to another level.
[400]
- We had been given the direction
to put your right hand up,
[404]
aka do not protect your
face after Mike had told us
[408]
not to wear the goggles.
[410]
- Dancing around was
probably my favorite part
[412]
because I love acting like a fool,
[413]
but as soon as we were
standing in that line,
[415]
my heart kinda sank and I
knew I was going to be the one
[419]
who was going to be shot.
[420]
I just felt it.
[420]
- You know, Mike had mentioned something,
[422]
that he said, I wonder
if someone could get shot
[423]
in their ass.
[425]
- You gonna aim for my ass?
[426]
(warped voice) You gonna aim for my ass?
[428]
- So, since I had circled around
[430]
to my vantage point behind them,
[431]
I thought why not shoot him in the ass?
[433]
- When we were lined up to
be shot, I wasn't nervous,
[435]
but I was just mentally
preparing myself to be shot
[439]
in different places.
[440]
I thought, the stomach would be painful.
[441]
The throat would be painful.
[443]
The arms would be painful, but I'm ready.
[446]
Who will the sniper shoot?
[447]
A barista, a comedian, a coworker,
[449]
a coworker's roommate, or me?
[452]
- So, under normal circumstances,
[453]
I would not shoot at anybody
if I wasn't 100% certain
[456]
that they were the correct target,
[458]
but under these strange circumstances,
[460]
these interns were cleared to
shoot at so I took the shot.
[487]
- Not Mike.
[491]
- Not Mike.
[501]
- Not Mike.
[504]
- [David] So, if I didn't
get him, I'm damn close.
[506]
It's down to two.
[509]
- Yeah, baby.
[511]
- Not Mike.
[512]
- [David] Oh (bleep).
[517]
- Originally, Mike asked me
to lead the group vocally
[520]
so the sniper would think I'm the leader
[522]
and hopefully lead to him shooting me.
[524]
I'm not sure if that led to his decision.
[526]
Getting shot felt a little
less pain than a paintball.
[530]
It hit me right in the right cheek.
[532]
When I heard that the sniper
was aiming for my whole,
[535]
that was a little disheartening,
[536]
but I'm glad that he got me in the cheek
[537]
and not up my canal.
[539]
- Mike's escape plan was outstanding.
[541]
I mean, using the
vehicle, using the smoke,
[543]
using the five people, the different,
[544]
the suits that they wore to blend in,
[547]
the blankets like a shell game,
[549]
it was a really, really good plan.
[551]
- I'm thrilled I was able to escape.
[553]
My master plan worked.
[554]
I'm more than delighted.
[556]
This is me delighted, yes.
[558]
Now, it's time for my reward.
[560]
I've loved Reese's peanut butter cups
[561]
since I was a little boy.
[562]
Chocolate, peanut butter,
there's nothing better.
[564]
Ooh, it's mine.
[568]
Yummy.
[571]
You want to feed me one?
[572]
- No, I do not.
[574]
- I won.
[575]
- I'm not gonna feed you.
[577]
We're not getting married.
[579]
We're not sharing cake here.
[581]
- Overall, it was an
interesting experience.
[587]
The other decoys were really good guys.
[590]
I'm happy to have them as new friends.
[593]
Mike is trash.
