>Weapons experts worldwide have suggested since Saturday that the AR used Saturday was a poor choice for effective long-range shooting. The shooter was perched on a rooftop approximately 150 yards away from the podium where Trump was speaking. It’s unclear if he used any optics to magnify his perspective.

>Former Navy SEAL sniper and author Brandon Webb said a well-trained shooter would nonetheless have been much more accurate.

>“At 200 yards, anyone trained on a rifle can shoot a golf ball repeatedly and a trained sniper knows this is an easy headshot, a tap in golf putt, even with iron sights,” Webb said in his “after action report” about the shooting.

Why do these retards just go on television an lie? Hurr hurr putting a golf ball at 200 yards with iron sights, nevermind that you'd need to have your rifle zeroed for that distance first, nevermind fliers and ambient conditions, nevermind ammunition selection and shot placement. Nope, it's just herp derp anyone with training would have hit that shot 100 times out of 100

This is a good thing. A failure of an AR to kill in such an infamous case may actually make your average retard voter slightly less scared of them.

t. Never fired a rifle in his life

200 yards is 182 meters. I couldn’t shoot a golf ball at 200 yards with iron sights.
The kid was skilled like any country bumpkin, but that doesn’t mean he’s not skilled. Vast majority of Americans couldn’t do it.
Remember, if Trump didn’t turn his head, he’d be toast. Kid was accurate and that takes skill.
>>
>>62089531
The rifle he used probably wasn't even capable of 1MOA precision, regardless of zero, optics, ambient conditions, skill, or nerves.
>>
>Golf ball with irons at 182m
I shot a ton of 7.62 during my conscription, and I'd say I was pretty accurate. But aint no way I'd ever consistently hit a golf ball at that distance what the fuck lol? I wanna see someone do this, is it really that easy?
>>
>>62089531
still, an AR is less than ideal for that purpose. we're lucky it was some retarded antifa goblin, because someone more capable would've taken a more powerful rifle and gone for center mass and Trump would've been done for no matter if he turned his head or not.
>>
>>62089531
>At 200 yards, anyone trained on a rifle can shoot a golf ball repeatedly
Isn’t a golf ball at 200 yards less than 1 moa? Are most ARs even that accurate? And with iron sights? I have no problem shooting head-sized steel targets at 150 yards with my poorfag AR and no optics, but that’s a lot bigger than a golf ball.

You should have greentexted that, faggot.
I have enough to know that I do not need a 200 yard zero to even stay within a head sized (~8") vertical string if I zeroed at 35, 50, or 100. Even using shit surplus.
But I also know that if my plan was to kill a President, I would buy the most expensive ammo, optic and barrel possible. What do I have to worry about after, credit card bills?
>>
>>62089592
A 2 MOA with a very good shooter could headshot someone at 130~140 yards. Not with irons. They would need an optic.

This, even without all that, buck fever's a real thing. I clean missed the first time I shot at a deer (about 100 yards, maybe a little less). Second time, that same season, I was bang on at the same distance.

Someone will probably end up making a game called Trump Reloaded. Won't be as much fun as JFK Reloaded though because that is really about shooting the driver so the limo goes out of control and launches off a ramp in Dealey Plaza.
>>
>>62089531
as someone who also wears glasses, Trump probably looked like a blur to him at 150 yards and the head was surely covered by the sight post at that distance. all things considered, this guy was an amateur under terrible conditions and I’m not sure why he didn’t go for a center mass shot. even with my best rifle under ideal conditions, hitting a golf ball at 200 yards with irons is fucking ridiculous. anyone can hit a golf ball at 200 with a couple of shots but to do it at will, on demand with irons is just not happening

>>62089990
It's true. If you don't keep their teammates away someone would've run over and had Trump back in the match in a few seconds if he wasn't hit in the head.

based off of an average male head size being about 22.5" circumference (22.5 / 3.14 ≈ 7") his head (if it's close to average) would be about 3.5 times the size of the dot. And that's rounding to at 100 yards, not the 130 or so it actually was.

>>62089687
Ignoring whether he had plates or not (people say he didn't because you can see nipples, but he's a big boy, so it probably is there but he is so fat his nipples aren't covered) if you get hit in the plate carrier, you're going down with an extremely painful chest injury. Something Trump, in his advanced years and his size, likely would not have been able to recovery quickly from. It could have even caused a cardiac arrest. He probably would not have been fit to take office even had he survived. So, yes. Going centre mass would have likely done what the guy wanted (removing Trump from the equation) but he went for le epic 360 no scope headshot for the (Views) on his wikipedia page.
>>
>>62089736
I mean yes, I would rather have a .22LR than nothing
>>
>130m
>"long range"

Kek.

While shooting a body at center mass from 100m is definetely easy with any rifle, shooting at a fixed target in known conditions at your typical firing range is not the same than shooting at the fucking president of the United States who's moving on a stage with the certainty of the Secret Service killing you in a matter of seconds. Also keep in mind that Trump was probably wearing body armor, which means a headshot was mandatory to kill. And he didn't miss, Trump just moved at the last moment.

It's not Navy Seal level of shooting, but it's definetely a feat for a civilian.
>>
>>62089552
>A failure of an AR to kill in such an infamous case
It did kill, just not the guy the shooter intended.

Kek. I love it that after someone tried to shoot Trump, the major reaction from BOTH sides of American politics was thr shooter was shit and or had a shitty gun.
>>
>>62090381
I mean, he didn't do significant damage to the one person in the area anyone gave a shit about. It'd be a way different discussion if Trump had gotten anything other than a scar (wouldn't it be cool if he needed an eye patch?). It was a pretty good shot, I just don't know why there wasn't any magnification involved.

Though that's true, keep in my Lee Harvey Oswald was 1-2 for assassinations. He tried shooting some far right retired general, missed, and slunk away. It's possible if he killed him that there'd be enough of an investigation to arrest him, which would have saved JFK.

>>62090408
>It was a pretty good shot, I just don't know why there wasn't any magnification involved.

The type of person willing to carry this out is typically on the fringes of society, and a total loser, so they're not the best at planning and just winging it. Lee Harvey Oswald only had a few spare rounds when he found out that the President's motorcade was going to be driving past his work-place, so he went with what he had. This shooter may have been in a similar situation, or they may have not been knowledgible enough about firearms.
>>
>>62089531
>At 200 yards, anyone trained on a rifle can shoot a golf ball repeatedly
Probably not with an off the rack m4, and damn sure not with m855/a1. A golf ball is just over 1.5", so sub MOA at 200y. Someone with with a mk12 and mk262 has a shot. But they wouldn't be shooting irons at that point.

>>62090479
>I wonder if it was just an ego thing for him
No fucking shit it was. If he had wanted to make it political he would have left something for police and the media to spread nationwide.

The media doesn't but we sure have. It's brought up multiple times in every thread related to the shooting; the second reply here brings it up.

He's right though. It's not that hard a shot for a trained shooter even with irons. He had shit fundamentals. Yeah he should have used a scope and a more powerful rifle, but he absolutely could have hit that shot if he had even done something as simple as Army BRM.


The reason all the vets are coming out of the woodwork and saying it was easy is because it is. Even POGs are expected, (nay required) to be able to make that shot in training. The conditions were obviously different than a pop-up range, but still the point remains.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if the US gets their own Years of Lead because while there aren't a ton of people (numerically) that would have both the means and inclination to start taking 600+ yard shots at politicians I'd be willing to bet that 99%+ of them would be on the right and America has had a love affair with sniping and snipers ever since the days of the Revolutionary War. More to the point, how the hell do you even address that? Even stepping down from hollywood-tier fantasies of someone taking 1200yd shots with a riced out .338 there are probably hundreds of thousands of people in the US who could reliably hit a pie plate at 400 yards with whatever they hunt deer with and tens of millions of rilfes capable of that.

that would still go through IIIA like a hot knife through butter, and good luck getting a politician to walk around everywhere in a plate carrier with level IVs in it

I ping my 7" rifle plates at 200 yards repeatedly, 90% shots on steel, with a ruger 10/22 and rifle sights, when prone. If conditions are too turbulent most people can't even see the thing down sights. I also use a bead, a fucking bead, and 1oz slugs with my shotguns on the same targets at 100yd.

I'd imagine, within reason, a trained sniper that has familiarity with a gucci top end ar15 could hit a golf ball. Milk jug challenges online are held at 1000, 1200, 1500+ yards. Move that target to 1/5th the distance and I'm sure some of these people could hit it with irons. In fact I'm pretty sure old army expert marksman awards required a 300m (basically 300yd) shot with irons.

I can't imagine why someone would want to use Trump's broadside cattle size'd torso as a target. Maybe he figured he'd only get 1 shot?
>>62090589
Water tower on the right looks like a good spot too. This seems like a kid trying to prove he could make the rifle team.
>>
>>62089531
it's an easy shot to hit. but people can miss anything. hitting a golf ball at 200 yards with irons, not easy, but with a scope and a rest, easy. hitting ahead at 200 yards, trivial with iron sights. unless he moves at the last minute, AND he missed. if the shooteres trajectory had been dead center it would have hit. the shooter was on the edge of missing and then trump moved.,
>>
>>62089531
why wouldn't his rifle be zeroed?
>>
>>62089542
>>you'd need to have your rifle zeroed for that distance first
>Kek. No.
So did the shooter when he took his father's 100yard safe queen who most likely shot at 50 yard paper targets like all the boomers at the gun range.
>>
>>62091497
Depends on height over bore and some other shit, but a 50 yard zero has no holds whatsoever out to 200 yards, while a 25 yard zero shoots about 5 inches high at 150 yards so you'd have to hold it low
>>
>>62090511
he very well might have and the feds and/or media just aren't publishinig it. we don't even know for sure whether he used iron sights, a red dot or small prism scope, because the only info we have about his rifle is from a shitty cell phone video of a bystander and them saying that it was an "AR style" rifle.
>>
>>62091470
There was also a 7mph crosswind that drifted the shot slightly to the left, apparently.

Setting aside that any real rifle caliber—.308, 6.5 Mememore, even 5,56—would've plowed through any armor he'd realistically've been wearing, any hit above the clavicular notch would be outside the scope of a rifle plate and would easily tag some important blood vessel without much regard for wind calls.
Shooter went for a headshot because he was a melodramatic faggot who wanted to pop Trump's head like a water balloon on live TV.

this is me with an 11.5 kac upper and a 3000$ nightforce lpvo at 200 with cheap but good ammo. wasn't zeroing but was testing groups to see what ammo my barrel liked. four shots within an inch of one another and one flyer. this is from a bench and is probably my third time shooting at range with that setup. with a shittier gun and no/poor optics I would never have been able to do this. if he was shooting from ironsights the fact that he grazed an ear with the first shot is unbefuckinglievable and Trump is very lucky to be alive. at 200 yards a real sniper with a proper gun and ammo could hit a golfball...but not with ironsights. navy seals lie, and their snipers are the worst for it.

This, plus Trump's almost 80. Any center mass shot with a rifle probably would've ended him, even if he was shot on an operating table in the ER of Walter Reed.

That is what the rifle was zeroed to. Yaw deviation only increases over distance. It's harder to adjust over distance with low magnification. It takes a lot of bullets to be on target. That is why average bullet groups for new rifle reviews are not grouped on the bullseye. A rifle sighted at 50 yards, but has a half an inch shot to the side will have that deviation multiply over distance up to 3 inches. It's minimum range is also it's maximum range at times. A 3x or 4x is precise within 50 yards. A 9x might be enough for 100 yards. Speaking of Minute of Angle, low magnification scopes and sights themselves can have a circular advisory zone for shots that are less likely to be on target over distance. Long distance shot videos by braggarts are Triple XXXL Wide man sized, gong sized, not head sized, and multiple feet in diameter, and at a planned location. It would take more bullets and more tuning for the first bullet to hit a watermelon at that same distance. People don't realize long distance shooting is not a demonstration of skill, it's a demonstration of how much work was put into the gun to make the shot, deduct by the skill of the shooter to control the gun's shortcomings. You can have the strongest bullet in the world with a gun that can stabilize it, but it won't hit anything with a shot group 1 or 2 inches from the bullseye, the bead, the cross.

>>62091808
because from 25 to 300 yards you basically do a six o'clock hold and hope for the best.
>>
>>62089669
>But I also know that if my plan was to kill a President, I would buy the most expensive ammo, optic and barrel possible. What do I have to worry about after, credit card bills?
You’d have to be in his exact shoes to understand his reasoning. This all could’ve been a last minute plan cuz he just said fuck it why not?

>>62090307
The bullet hitting him in the ear didn’t give him a heart attack.

>>62090291
>but I guess we'll never know
There's a good chance forensic teams will wire frame the shots based on video and bullet holes. Unless no one cares because Trump survived and the unrealized assassin failed.
