    No… it was an AR with no scope fired from the prone position by someone who definitely was not trained to land shots precisely at that range from that shooting position in a highly tense unsurviveable situation again all without a fucking scope

    Tmz had a video of the moron opening fire and getting counter sniped

      He didn’t even have an optic?!? What an absolute idiot… haven’t seen that video yet.

        I mean… At the risk of landing on a list… Any infantry private could have landed that shot.

        But if I were to do it it would be a larger round that’s more resistant to the wind, capable of penetrating the light body armor the secret service wears, and from about 3 times the distance with 6x optics. There’s at least a chance to E&E from that position and the likelihood of a kill shot is far higher.
