Clarkm: I am sure that NONE of the MANY Rifles I currently own could have ever done that!
Good for those Rifle enthusiasts.
And like "the gman" contended "whats the point"?
And like others have intimated I think their efforts would have been better rewarded with other endeavors.

Don't miss the forest for the trees fellas. While that many shots doesn't sound great, I'd imagine the shooter is back on the bench trying to figure out how to cut it down. Gotta start somewhere. The fact that he even hit the target is amazing. Many bullets totally loose accuracy when transitioning from supersonic to subsonic Pretty cool stuff on how they’re pushing the limits.

I’m sure the SF boys took notes. With their budget, things will get interesting.

And they stopped on shot number 69. It may have taken another 100 or maybe 200 before they made another hit. Unless it can be done intentionally, and repeatedly, it's nothing more than mortar fire.

Ever wonder the same thing about top fuel racing? Easy, because you can. If the military thinks they can swat a turd just a little further out, they'll show up with their check book

I was in SE Oregon and was able to Hit Idaho with one shot from my CZ 452 chambered in 22 LR... using a 4 x 16 Tasco Scope on top...
In fact shooting the same rig, I was able to be shooting off the hood of my 4 Runner, and not only was able to hit Idaho, I even was able to shoot a couple of Ground Squirrels in Idaho while my shooting position was in Oregon...
Amazing stuff... I probably wouldn't haven't been able to do it tho, without the help of that 4 x 16 Tasco on top.

A buddy of mine once took 21 shots out of his 30 Hulk to hit the mile target at Thunder Valley in Ohio and was quite proud of himself!

69 shoots ? big deal should be the 1st shot for a record ,same thing with the longest sniper shot ever made 1st shot should still be the record Carlos Hathcock did that , the sniper from Canada took a few shots before he made the hit/kill. or most sniper kills that should be 2 records one for kills and one for shooting officers with 1 shot and again Carlos Hathcock did the one and only shot on each officers.
