I don’t know anything about guns so I’m prone to agree about the shot itself but he’s an idiot for being at that distance and not bringing a scope (if memory serves me) and not aiming for the body. As everyone joked here at the time, dude fucked up by thinking this was Call of Duty and going for the headshot. A body shot with that gun, at that distance, and with his old ass McFish body would’ve been sufficient.
The whole thing is crazy. The fact that the SS didn’t have that very obvious vantage point secured is the oddest part. What you say is all true, but given that set of facts, I’m still impressed by how close he was. Especially given those facts tbh.
Oh, for sure. I agree with you on all those points.
Just saying he made a few big, preventable mistakes he should’ve planned for. And I do think those happened due to ego/stupidity, considering that there are reports the dude even used some equipment to measure distance and angle some time before the rally even started. But didn’t bring a scope for a distanced headshot? Foolish arrogance.
That’s fair. I’m just referring to the shot itself.

He was a kid really, but yeah we can all learn from the mistakes of others :)
Yeah, he was very young.
