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.

He was mentally deranged. That's the sort of half-assery typical of people with mental problems.

Was it a camera phone video from the crowd? I saw where one guy said they tried to warn the SS because they saw the shooter.

He certainly was not trained to aim center mass.

So he basically thought he was going to 360 No-scope IRL?

...get wrecked, noob.

It's not nearly that hard. To put it into game terms he tried to use the grenade launcher without any practice.
