Can someone explain...


...right in the first action sequence, after Sly and Statham get caught in the woods Statham says: "Are you loaded?" and Sly replies: "I really hope so" making a gun sign with his hands and then pointing fast to the enemies and they drop dead.

Watch the scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOEMDFE1SBU

So, Liam Hemsworth killed them? Like, 2 shots that go through 3 guys in each side?
Why Sly points the finger at the guys and they drop dead following it?

I don't really get this scene.

It was a bit silly. From his angle, billy could shoot one shot in which the bullet would go through all three guys at first, since high-powered sniper rifles can easily pass through three people. Immediately after, he shoots two more very quick shoots, one for each of the other two, just by making a super-fast slight adjustment because of his training and experience as a sniper in the army. Stallone just points for effect, hoping his guy is in place, ready to take them out as he points his fingers at them simultaneously. This is my best explanation. Keep in mind, if snipers are good enough, they are very much capable of doing this.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply.
Yeah, you can see when they show the vision through his scope that he has both sides, the 6 soldiers aligned, so maybe 2 shots would get all 6, going through their bodies, just didn't got the pointing of the finger Sly does.

When I first watched I though he had a weapon inside his glove or something and got one side of the bad guys himself.
Kinda confusing.

Thanks :)

No problem. Their timing was a little too perfect together but it's a movie so...
