Shawn does a great job of letting the guest speak, but jumping in to clarify for the audience (e.g. 203 is grenade launcher.)
Agreed
Shawn Ryan is an excellent listener when his guests are speaking.
Aye.
Thank you Shawn for letting these stories be heard.
Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of what we see…referencing to have understanding. We are continually attempting to understand things with what we know.
True, I saw a guy get hit by a train years ago and the first thing that popped into my brain was a pinata.
Yeah, I was walking down a road once and far down on the road I saw a roadkill dog and the first thing that my brain thought that it was was a tan burlap bag spilled strawberry jam all over the road
This is one man I would MOST DEFINITELY WANT ON MY SIDE! Thank u sir for your service. My father is retired Navy, and I always kick myself in the butt for not enlisting. Time to watch the whole interview
My Father was a WW2 Naval Veteran, and I got the feeling he didn’t want me to serve, because I would have gone to Vietnam. These wars don’t seem to have achieved anything positive for the USA.
Nick Irving is one of, if not THE most technical and calculating specialists I’ve seen interviewed. Always intrigued by his recounts. Thank you for your service, sir.
I promise you he is full of shit.
One of the realest guest on here!
This guy is a phony. A year or so ago he was claiming he was ripping guys arms off with a 50 cal from the bullet passing within a foot of them. Absolute nonsense. He was probably a cook in the service.
He's full of shit. Trust me.
@kineticraft6977 jealousy is a nasty trait. Obviously, he's legit... maybe some stories are embellished .. but he was..is... an elite sniper
@@miken2968 He wasn't an elite sniper. He's an embarrassment to the title. He barely passed the school and has been called out multiple times for talking absolute shit by his own blokes. Don't believe every expert talker you hear on the internet.
@user-ty5ig2ge1n were you there? Did you serve? One of the largest special forces podcasts run by a former seal/CIA operative, says he's legit... ?
Nick was a Regiment guy I believe.
75th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Battalion🇺🇸
He is the best podcast right there with JRE! No doubt he is unbelievable at listening to his guests n makeing them feel able to share what they do. So much respect ✊ 🙏🤙keep going!!
Holy crap the sounds he heard wow unbelievable 😳
These guys are the real deal
Pemberton was my RASP Cadre in 2016… man ran the fail out transition section for RASP. Needles to say the man was a stout professional who out processed more people faster than he probaykilled them out of RASP…. Still remember his black mustang GT… you could just feel the man has killed more people than cancer that month..
I went to PLDC with a ranger who took out the MG positions at point salines airport Grenada. He was high energy. When I first watched David Goggins he reminded me of that guy. I think he got 5 men that night but don’t quote me. He saved a hundred lives that night that’s for sure.
Nick's book is great. In person he's amazing
Great interview man
This helps. Thanks Shawn.
Love these kind of guest Shawn! Watched Nick on another channel taking and making some loooong ass shots
I love your long format interviews, you truly have a gift!
Wow! Thanks Nick. Thanks Shawn
The mildot comment really makes me feel fortunate to have range finding binos, kestrel, and a reticle in mils. I feel like I am cheating.
Mahalo's bradah! sharing these experiences....Semper Fi!
Real as real can be….👊🏻🇺🇸
always love your show! GREAT INTERVIEW as always!
Gallon of milk and a sack of potatoes, good stuff. Sorry you will have to live with those thoughts the rest of your life, I’m familiar.
Black America has been in desperate need of heroes other than professional athletes and gangsters. A positive side effect of GWOT is the acknowledgment of black American Warriors like Nick. These heroes demonstrate America is worth fighting for. God bless Nick Irving.
Only a white or others would say something this stupid.
100%
They are being programmed by evil forces through the media 🤷♂️ Most blacks people have taken the ideology of the KKK. They are the new clan and don’t even realize it. I’m biracial so I watch all the bullshit on both sides happen and I’m super honest with it no bias bs 🤷♂️ My way of finding out about racism / oppression was when my mom had to tell her own kids we didn’t get the house because the owner seen her pull up with us in the car 🤷♂️ Whether people want to admit it or not ; it’s clearly a systematic approach. This is not a coincidence at all.
Keep race out of it. This is not about that. No such thing to me as an African American. It just American.
@@clintonscottwalsh you called it perfectly. Don't play into the left's game of identity politics, what we have here is an American patriot.
thank you Shawn for bringing this content, Nick thanks for your story-
God Bless Nick for keeping our country safe. Glad he is back home and well. BZ
Carlos Hathcocks book talked about 669grain tumbling can injure a target with pressure waves. It’s just regurgitating myth and legend
God Bless you Nick for your Brave Service&Thank You Shawn for a great video again.
Epic work Shawn…man I hope you all get some degree of emotional cleansing from reliving these memories🙏🏻‼️
He said I heard splashing
“Shit” 😂
Thanks for this interview.. thanks for posting the entire thing too.
It helps in more ways than I can adequately describe.
I love the way you guys express your thoughts like that, very interesting ,Thank you!!!
Seems like a lot of alphabet agency spooks in this thread throwing shade. You weren’t there!!
Nick Ervin you Rock!!!@
Love this show
Damn this is why I watch.. Warriors my friend, 🙏💯
The entire time he just couldn’t believe that it was actually happening
Whoa !
Another ripper from Shawn.
RLTW 🇺🇸
ummmm
The milk metaphor jesus christ
MERICA !
⚡️⚡️⚡️
The he dropped like a sack of potatoes comes from ww1 don't quote me. I think it was a form of ptsd for soldiers coming home and working on the farm and seeing a moving bag stopping suddenly reminding them of actions in war. My run down of it in a nutshell.
Better them than you brother
I have a really hard time getting my head around these guys not having rangefinders. What about the spotter? Surely this basic tech is standard issue to military snipers?! When he says he missed his first shot at 150yds, or less, it beggars belief really. I guess this is down to the heat and fury of the battle.
Yeah. The truth is that most guys don't ever get a chance to kill many people, if at all. The vast majority of killing is by air strikes and the vast majority of shooting is suppressive fire at an area target or possible enemy positions. He got to shoot more than a few people, but it really doesn't make him a remarkable sniper. He was in the right place at the right time and he was marketable, which is why he is now a "somebody." There's a video of him zeroing a rifle with some other famous guntuber and its pretty embarrassing. Please understand--I'm not saying I'm better, I'm just saying that circumstances can make a guy out to be more than he is.
@@CthonicSoulChicken I saw that video too on Lunker's channel. It was pretty embarrassing for someone that's supposed to be a Rgr. Rgmt. sniper. Neither Nick or Lunker had a clue and lost all credibility with me, nevermind the .50 BMG myth Irving has been spreading.
@@92naz32 Oh, man--that .50 myth. I'll admit, I first heard that as a private from my first team leader. He was a big old Batt guy and I believed him. I used to tell dudes that shit, too. It wasn't until I started going downrange that I realized it was all nonsense. But that's how these things go. Lots of credible guys have been sold a line of crap and continue to do so. It's like how people used to believe you could drive someone's nose into their brain and kill them. Or that it's against the Genva convention to sharpen your bayonet. Or that the Irish are people.
@@CthonicSoulChicken you're fckin witty man I also happen to have the misfortune of agreeing with you 100%
@@CthonicSoulChickenshooting people in the heat of battle in do or die situations is totally different than zeroing in a rifle and shooting at a range. Most men would pee in their pants and freeze up under that type of pressure.
Why the F would he shoot if he thought it was a dog??
Its our innate shelter program to make us think and believe we are innocent of what our actions do. You hear me ..
No, I don’t.
Chris Kyle jr
This guy makes a lot of the details up.
Are Rangers specials forces now?
Think they've always been SOF support at least.
they've been SF
Since 1974
Rangers fall under the umbrella of SOF, so does SF. Only Green Berets are specifically labeled SF.
@@LongRangeStranger ahh. Yea i was never in the army so i have no idea. I was just a Corpsman with marines so 🤷🏻♂️
People who don’t believe a .50 cal round can injure you without hitting you don’t know anything
Are you being sarcastic? Of course it won't injure you if it misses you.
@@antongonist8294 yes it will? You don’t know much about guns do you. Look it up
@@antongonist8294 yes it can. I’ve seen it happen with a deer.
@@patriotsouthern8123 No you didn't. But please do explain how a .50 round injures what it doesn't hit, just for entertainment purposes.
@@patriotsouthern8123no. It wont.
THIS IS THE ONLY EPISODE I DECIDED NOT TO LISTEN TO. I'm 99 percent sure thos gus is a sociopath.
Cool story bro
This guy is making up half the shit he spews out. He has just gotten away with it for so long that he’s also gotten really good at making up these stories and embellishing them on the spot. Watch his eyes and where he’s looking while he’s talking about this story. He’s making up half this shit as he goes…and you can’t hear shit at 150m away in an urban environment in a firefight.
You can't take this guy seriously when he claims a .50cal will remove limbs from a 2' miss.
Bro stfu already. How many times are you smooth brains going to comment this stupid shit on these shorts? It’s not a big deal. The guy has slayed bodies, you can’t take that away from him. His comment doesn’t make his story and experience any less credible.
Missed at 300 yards with a sniper rifle????
Wow you must of been there and new exactly what was happening. Shit happens.
@@JasonSighnexactly people on YT swear they’d be marksmen in any and every situation possible 🙄
George W Bush and Illuminati must love this guy!!
This dude completely discredited himself
Have you seen this guy shoot? Theres a video of him trying to hit targets at 600 yards and I don't really think he is what he says he is......or did what he says he did. He cant hit the broadside of a battleship
military guys are pretty critical of one another....that said, I have NEVER heard anyone talk shit about the reaper.
You shouldn’t let one video like that sway your opinion about a man’s career.
Bro, he even says he's terrible at the first shot. There's a big difference between what you see (your opinion) and what is confirmed (what the military and other soldiers see) of him.
being able to shoot accurately is a very small part of being a good sniper. Most of what they do is collect and report intel.
Bullshit he's legit
You killed a person. It should not be a good feeling at all!!! Nobody should kill another person!!!
I'm not SF..... but how is the holy fudge knuckles did a sniper miss not 1 but 2 back to back shots at 300 yds ?!?! ✌️🤓🖕
Nerves man... first time... target may have been moving in an unpredictable way as well... walking perhaps and with equipment so not a steady pace. We dont' know, cause we weren't there. Zero could have been off as well. Could have had a can on the SR25 that affected the zero as well. If it was through the side of the body... and not straight on... that's a fairly slim target while moving at 300 plus yards. .308 isn't super accurate either. probably 1MOA at best with military ammo. So you've got 3" of variability with that alone.
At any rate.. you probably don't have much experience in combat so you shouldn't be assuming anything.
@rascalmatt6713 calm your tit's there Rambo lol I can assume as much as I want to, probably shouldn't assume I haven't seen combat, semper fi
Dude sounds like he’s just making shit up.
Bruh
He is widely recognized as one of the elite snipers in recent times for the US military. He is simply describing things from his perspective in real non fancy words. He is the real deal.
That’s what veterans sound like when they recount their experiences.
and you sound like a keyboard warrior
@@demitrisolvinski
A keyboard sniper actually.
This guy is FOS
So you mean to tell me that a round from the Schwerer Gustav measuring 30" in diameter traveling at 2400fps didnt take down a single tree it passed by, yet a .50 bmg will take off a limb missing it by 2'...😅😅😅
Something don't at up.. the bolt rifle hammer got stuck from dirt he said... nope it's a firing pin in the bolt that hits the primer.. and when rounds go past you close. You just hear the wack of the bullet going past because it quicker then sound.
@clintonscottwalsh that guy is nuttier than a squirrel turd. Don't doubt he did some wild stuff while in service but you couldn't pay me enough to buy his BS make believe
best episode yet
Lmfao!
