USMC Scout Snipers vs small boat (Barrett M107 .50 BMG Rifles)
(More videos at / militarynotes )
2.10.2013 Marines assigned to Scout Sniper Platoon, Battalion Landing Team (BLT) 3/2, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), and Sailors assigned to the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), conduct a live-fire exercise while at sea, to practice defending the ship against small boat attacks. The 26th MEU operates continuously across the globe, providing the president and unified combatant commanders with a forward-deployed, sea-based quick reaction force. The MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response and limited contingency operations.

It's really very simple, if they hit the boat they would have to stop shooting. Where's the fun in that.

This boat was built at the request of the military by a company in Louisiana. It was conceived as a target drone. In Alaska, where I live, a federal agency mapping the Alaska coast bought several and adapted them for doing mapping in places where it would be too dangerous for a manned boat to operate. They've been a huge success and very useful.

The fact that you can hear the sound of that machine gun firing a few seconds before you see the impact of the bullets should give you a pretty good idea of the distance these guys are shooting the boat at. They are firing from a rocking ship at a rocking boat at a very long distance, their accuracy is actually pretty impressive.

OK, fair enough. Under what circumstances would you ever consider using a sniper rifle to shoot a moving target from a moving platform at those ranges? Sniper rifles are meant for specific targets that are actually hittable. Do you want to be the hostage standing next to the bad guy when you have guys with sniper rifles shooting at a moving target from a moving platform at that range? My point is that this is not training. It is fun times with big guns while bored out of your skull at sea. If you can legitimately call this training, then we're never going to agree on anything.

Kevin LANGDON Gee whiz, Kev. You really showed me who's boss except for one eensy weensy thing. I have mentioned the whole Captain Phillps thing several times in comments on this video. If you'll recall, that whole thing involved 3 Navy Seal snipers shooting at 3 individual targets in a coordinated shoot in very flat seas at very close range, i.e. 50-100 meters or less. In this "training", you'll notice these guys are rarely, if ever even hitting the whole freakin' boat. Whether it's because of the range, the rough seas (doesn't look that rough), their own position on a moving platform, or whatever other excuse you want to make for this mess, these guys aren't hitting the broad side of a barn. If you really believe your Capt. Phillips argument here, then you are entirely too stupid for me to waste any more time on.

To make a shot at that distance on a moving target is already hard enough. C. They themselves are on a moving ship.

Seems like a better solution would simply be a single guided missile. Paint the target with good optics, fire the missile, and let it fly up high and then come down and do its own guidance to track that image and boom, one explosion and you're done. Doesn't even have to be a big one, a shoulder fired missile can take out a tank, so surely it can sink a boat.

You're so original.
They actually did quite well . Small surface targets are the hardest for navy gunners because you are shooting from an unstable platform at an unstable target. Basically the ship you are on is going up and down and rolling with the sea and so is the target you are shooting at, so by the time the round is fired and arrives it can look an embarrassingly far miss. The solution really is volume of fire , throw everything at and hose it down !
They got an A+ for practicing warning shots.
Are they shooting around it?

And also from that comment I gather you've never been on a small ship at rough seas. You can tell by the pattern of how the rounds are striking the sea rising and falling around the small craft (up and down) that the ship is rocking side to side. Its all training anyway so add the fact that these recruits are learning and probably have never done anything like this before.

That's a heck of a lot of misses
I have fired the M107, not in a tactical environment, but enough to have a coupe of legitimate comments about the weapon system: 1) If you don't weigh 180lbs, minimum, it will beat you up...even with the muzzle brake, it will beat you up. 2) Excellent weapon for a static or near static target. 3) As (in)accurate as any other rifle shooting at a moving target. > In this scenario, a mounted M2 .50 cal and a couple of boxes of ammo....is the way to deal with a small boat. Single-shot-shooting and hitting the target, is "lucky" shooting, at best.
U guys gotta remember they are in the ocean the water is never still so both the ship and the small target boat is bouncing around in the waves so it takes someone that is well train to directly hit the boat without missing.

In the first place it's all warning shots, then after a certain amount of range it becomes actual targeting. I think the most skilled thing is that they didn't actually hit them at first accidentally. Wind, range, keeping calm, pitch, yaw, roll- all of this is extremely hard. Even the best sniper will have issues. The smallest movement, even you breathing, will put off your shot by yards.

the marine corps produces some of the most accurate fighting men in the world. when they started fielding optics and scopes to marines back when we first invaded iraq, marines were racking up so many head shots that they sent a supervisor down to iraq from washington to investigate because they thought marines were executing enemy combatants.

Couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a hand full of bb,s
As an infantry Marine, this video saddens me. But then again, we don't know how far the target was, wind and sea conditions. I did a rifle qual in Guam in the rain with pre typhoon wind conditions. Only 2 of us qualified out of 55. Myself and the best shooter in the platoon. My spotter couldn't tell me if I was missing the target to the right or the left. So I aimed at the target to my left and then the target to my right. I finally hit my target with Kentucky windage 8 feet to the right. I was lucky to hit my target, let alone go for a bullseye. I barely passed the min qual score(pizza box medal or marksman), but I'm still very proud that I was 2 of 55 infantry Marines to do so. So bear in mind the conditions and the lack of urgency to hit the target. They might just have been having some fun. Who knows?
So many comments by fools who seem to think these shooters can't find the target. First the target appears to be between 300-400 yards, is moving as is the Kearsage. At that range even if the scope is dead on a slight movement of either vessel can create a 5 to 10 foot or more miss. Don't speak of what you don't have a clue about.

Most of the rounds you see hitting the water are from a .50 cal. M2HB heavy machine gun. We had 2 of these mounted on the front of our 82 ft. Coastal Patrol Boat in the USCG. They were used for stopping "go fast" type drug smuggling boats, usually Donzi or similar cigarette boats. The idea was to knock out the engine, not kill the occupants. With a .50 cal. you need to "walk" your shots into your target....especially from a moving ship to a moving target. It's a whole lot harder than you might think. I would think that the snipers with the Barrets had an even harder time.

You guys have to keep in mind that these guys are shooting on a platform that's moving up and down with the sea at a boat that's moving up and down with the sea several hundreds of yards out. And they were just plinking.
That‘s why the Navys build big ships: So the enemy has a chance to hit it! Now that‘s true sportsmanship.
Now I know where Spongebob got all them holes from
That's the baddest shooting I've ever seen 😂
I'm sure it's a hard target, but it does look like a bunch of novices just burning ammo.

Marines are NOT "Storm Troopers" lad. They are the Good Guys.
Even the snipers couldn't hit a moving target 🤣🤣🤣
what kinda shooting was that? we're in trouble. hit all around it but never saw a hit.
Who else can remember that scene from Capitan Philips after seeing this..🤔
if you ask me Every military ship should be disguised as commercial ship. Get thee pirates to initiate an attack and destroy them. A few less greedy troublemakers sure wouldn't hurt the world.

Why does your ship have what looks like giant guns on it? WAAAAAAT? I dont know what your talking about, those are just smoke stacks just at an odd angle.

I guess need ing something in your eyes makes stealing and kidnapping a and possibly killing them is ok in your book. Listen Im a Marine , someone steals from me or kidnaps or kills one of mine , dies a horrible death. I suppose Kaddaffi didn't deserve what he got either.

Ok whatever ya say.
Ah yes they hit 30 submarines 1000 animals and 1 *SMALL BOAT*
Oof i can only imagine being a sniper on a ship, trying to hit a few human-sized targets around a mile away (maybe even further), while in the ocean there's heavy af winds that affect the bullet's direction of landing + your ship AND the enemy boat are both shaking from all the waves... bet it's probably the most challenging and nauseating way to practice sniping. Hats off for those snipers if they ever hit anything at all. Practice helps to adapt and overcome, so good for them.

And think of back in sail times when Marines climbed into the foretops and shot muskets st Officers on the opposing ships. Closer range I know but accuracy is hope and prayer.
I love how they slo-mo'd the one hit (out of dozens).

Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch it is also important that the "kill" shot was on the light upon the mast..
Safest place to be is in the boat.
From a 3 tour Vietnam Marine, I am embarrassed by what is said to be snipers USMC
"Harry you're alive!!...... And you're a terrible shot..."
Whoever's on the MG is scaring the shit out of the fish !
Accounting for wind speed, direction and the bobbing up and down of both the target vessel and the ship they are on must be hella hard.
