Snipers Can Shoot Each Other by Aiming for Their Scopes
Ruining everyone’s James Bond dreams, the MythBusters debunked this sniper myth when the bullet they fired was either stopped or deflected by the multiple layers of lenses in the scope.

mb was not really scientifically well-founded - more like a good entertainment show.

#1 Key is "multiple layers of lenses in the scope".
Carlos Hathcock killed a Vietnamese sniper known as "Cobra" by shooting straight through Cobra's scope. The scope Cobra used (an old Mosin-Nagant as I recall) had fewer lenses than the scope used in the original MythBusters episode.
MythBusters later retested and admitted that it was "plausible".

#8 It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.
