HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
World War 1 snipers would intentionally remove the crosshairs from their scopes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
World War 1 snipers would intentionally remove the crosshairs from their scopes and replace them with real spider web. You see, standard wire reticles were thick enough to completely cover a distant target, making precise shots impossible at range. But spider silk was many times thinner [music] than a human hair and strong enough to survive the recoil. So snipers stretched it across the scope and sealed it with resin, turning a spider's web into a precision killing tool.
