Total BS, it absolutely can be done. The scope they were shooting at is not at all alike to the scopes people used 65yrs ago. The scopes where much more cylindrical in nature. It is the change in scope shape that stopped the bullets each and every time.
in real life during ww2 2 snipers went head 2 head (story of "Eneny at the Gate") the sov. was using a Mosin-Nagant rifle M1891 fiering a 7.62x54 armor piecing silver oxide round i have fired a few one went through a goat's forehead 50 more yrds and blew a 9in chunk out the back of a 4 ft dia. oak tree . now tell me that cant go through a scope?

It is possible with standard bullets too. Hence, Carlos Hathc**k doing it in Vietnam.

They used the exact rifle that Hathc**k used with period ammunition. When that didn't work they switched to armor piercing rounds which did work.

A rocket launcher should work, too.

The video shows that they didn't use comboc scopes. Comboc scopes are made differently form Western scopes like the USA and it still is.
