Yeah at that range with that powerful of a round, and a scope…that’s doable, unless of course you sneezed. ---

I’m not really a gun expert, but would that watermelon REALLY explode like that? I would think that if you shot a watermelon, it would be soft enough for it to just slice right through it. ---

There’s nothing difficult about that shot. Give me a target that size at that range shooting prone and I’ll hit it all day long. The problem is it’s a target WITH A PERSON DIRECTLY UNDER IT. I can’t imagine anyone willing to assume the legal risks involved with taking that shot. Add to it that the guy’s profession is video effects and it’s pretty clear this was done for viral publicity. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > I’m not really a gun expert, but would that watermelon REALLY explode like that? I would think that if you shot a watermelon, it would be soft enough for it to just slice right through it. Yeah pretty much. A large caliber round at high velocity usually means a small entry hole and a large exit hole. Bullets like 7.62 x 39 tend to tumble so when they hit a body they can enter, scatter, then exit. Usually death is from the internal injuries as a result of being shot.
