Utah officials claimed he was shot from 200 yards away. Are we looking at 7.62mm rifle here, or was it a 5.56 rifle?

I have never done any serious shooting, does it take a lot of skill to hit a target at 200 yards?
>>
>>515377745
It was an AR-15
>>
>>515377745
Entry wound was quite small.
>>
>>515377745
>I have never done any serious shooting, does it take a lot of skill to hit a target at 200 yards?
200 yards is piss easy with a generic bolt action. That's my guess since there were no follow up shots like when they tried to shoot trump.
Generic remington 700 in 308 a troon got from his grandpa.
>>
>>515377745
>does it take a lot of skill to hit a target at 200 yards?
not really

>>515377745
It was a rifle of some sort. Probably a 5.56.

>>515377745
He actually hit the target, so no it wasn't a faggy larper gun. It was a grown up non-larper precision rifle.

>>515377745
5.56 can do it. Once the army teaches basic rifle marksmanship, you're expected to be able to engage at 300 yards. Most trainees start having issues only at 200-250 yards, while it comes naturally to others.
>>
>>515378292
This.
>>
>>515377745
Not enough info to know the caliber. You could pay to have a rifle zeroed for you and hit a man sized target at 200 yards even if you've never fired a gun before.
>>
>>515377745
>Utah officials claimed he was shot from 200 yards away.
No they didn't. CNN claimed this.

There is no way to tell from just the sound, or the video of the impact. I'm a hand loader and it's common to use bullets which aren't commercially available.

All we can do is wait until somebody uses the video to determine the flight time of the bullet, which sounded supersonic to me. It had the telltale crack.
>>
>>515377745
>I have never done any serious shooting, does it take a lot of skill to hit a target at 200 yards?
not really, so long as you have it sighted in it's cake with 5.56, .308, 30-06, really any caliber, even pistol caliber carbines it's not that hard to hit a torse sized target.
Whatever hit charlie had quite a bit of force from what I could tell.

>>515379185
Anon if it was a 308, he would have had whole chunks of flesh fly off his neck. It wouldn't be a spurt of blood.
He was shot with an ar15 style rifle.
>>
>>515377745
>does it take a lot of skill to hit a target at 200 yards?

None. The furthest distance I shot from during my service was 300m/1000feet. After aligning the sights I was able to group 5 shots to an area of a matchbox.

Rifle+scope, any retard could've made that shot.
>>
>>515379587
Could have been any number of 22 caliber cartridges. I'm betting it was a hunting rifle, though, because he only fired one round.
>>
>>515377745
Probably something with a.223 projectile with a highly frangible bullet, like a varmit rifle, that wound exploded but did look like a exit
>>
>>515379587
agreed, exit wounds and cavitation on a 308 would have been a bit more dramatic. it could have been a subsonic though, which are way less damaging. my money is on some basic bitch AR15 with a guy who shoots enough to make that shot pretty easily. it's an extremely common gun and 200yds is well within its effective range. could have even been done with a "pistol" (short barrel ar15 with a goofy stock to get around SBR laws) if the dude had a bag with him.
>>
>>515380186
Contender-style pistol. Smallest package which can fire a rifle caliber bullet. Also the velocity is reduced because of the short barrel, perhaps explaining the difference in damage compared to what one would expect from a full powered rifle cartridge.
>>
>>515380455
Didnt look like a exit wound
>>
>>515380573
>exit wounds and cavitation on a 308 would have been a bit more dramatic
Assuming factory ammo out of a standard length barrel.

I think if it was a full powered rifle cartridge it came from a single shot Contender style pistol.

Until they find the weapon we're all just spitballing.
>>
>>515380739
Honestly not the craziest idea I've heard. It would make it much easier to hide the gun while escaping.
>>
>>515380739
you can put a 14" barreled ar15 into a backpack in less than a minute by pushing two pins and separating the upper from the lower.
>>515381041
you aren't using a contender to assassinate someone. you would need a shooting bag and a bunch of other bullshit which would negate any size advantage it has. if it was a professional, maybe they had a shorter barrel bolt action with a folding stock. my money is on some random troon with an AR15 since it's a meme and there are millions of them in civilian hands.
>>
>>515381308
the shorter the barrel on a rifle the more powder burns outside the barrel, the contender hypothesis would require hand loaded ammunition to make sense, otherwise you are setting off a flashbang in front of your face while trying to be secret sneaky assassin.

>>
>>515381308
They generally have a fairly chunky foregrip/forend but you could reduce it in size or take it off without affecting the weapon's function. With a short barrel it's a very slim and compact weapon, just a tube with a handle really. You can get hundreds of custom barrels for Contenders, there's a whole industry around it.

Might not be a Contender, there are many other similar single-shot pistols like it.

>>515381976
>you can put a 14" barreled ar15 into a backpack in less than a minute by pushing two pins and separating the upper from the lower.
You're arguing a point I didn't make, but it's a much bigger and bulkier package. Also only one shot was taken.

>you aren't using a contender to assassinate someone.
I'm a Christian I wouldn't do that.

>you would need a shooting bag and a bunch of other bullshit which would negate any size advantage it has
Wrong people often use them freehand without bracing to take big game and target shoot. There are entire shooting sports around this type of activity.

>if it was a professional, maybe they had a shorter barrel bolt action with a folding stock
Why do you obsess over a stock? Don't need one with a Contender.

>my money is on some random troon with an AR15
Troons wanna die and always keep shooting until killed or ack themselves once they do a bit of shooting. Always.
>>
>>515382251
It wouldn't matter, you're not in a warzone where people are looking for muzzle flashes and it's the middle of the day. Having some bulky bag or even a backpack to stuff an AR into would be far more likely to get you caught
>>
>>515379754
Eh, you're still talking about a trained retard which is then something. It's the same as talking about a 300lb deadlift like it's nothing, I bet 90% of non-obese semi-athletic men could hit that in under a year of training, but when you back up what percent of the population can do that?
>>
>>515377745
probably a bolt action from a swap meet. No way to trace, expert shooter. Glowies.
>>
>>515382251
Who would own a Contender without also being a hand loader? It was made for hand loaders. Half the barrels they make for it don't have commercially loaded ammo at all.

This wasn't a mass shooting. This was an assassination.
>>
>>515377745
> 7.62 or 5.56
Could have easily been either, or most other center fire rifle caliber. Entrance wounds are unpredictable. Nothing about the video tells us much other than the gunshot sounded like a centerfire rifle.

> ar15
Could be. No way to tell. Could just as easily be a bolt action or any other reasonably accurate auto gun

> difficult
No. Not with an optic. It would take some basics though ( i.e. knowing how to sight in the gun ect)
But it wouldn't take practice or unusual skill. Just basic familiarization
>>
>>515383468
my money is on a .257 roberts
>>
>>515380739
>>515381308
This doesn't seem too farfetched. If it were that level of preparation and skill to use that type of weapon I think it suggests the shooter was a glowing assassin from mossad, IC, et al.
A plausible scenario since there was also an abandoned wheelchair on one of the raised portions of the venue I have already noticed in one of the pictures which should not have been accessible by wheelchair, and what of the occupant?
Conjecture at this point, but an assassin could have set up in a wheelchair in a raised spot to avoid scrutiny and have a decent vantage from close range, elevated to clear the crowd and despite being seated at the time. Then they could have slipped away in the panic leaving it behind.

something that would fit into a backpack would make sense, given that you are on a college campus with hundreds/thousands of other people wearing backpacks. you would blend in and would also blend in as you were making your escape. you would look like just another student running away from the area

It's certainly a pro hit job, not just some troon or leftie high on estrogen. Those types keep shooting until they run out of ammo and ACK or get killed by cops.

One shot was fired, some guy apparently was fingered as the dude who dun it but didn't, and the assassin slipped away in the confusion. Gun itself has probably been thrown into a river by now if it was taken with and not just dropped or stashed somewhere. Or handed off to somebody else.

yeah and you want the assassin to have the same autism hobby you do. im glad you like contenders. they aren't a realistic choice. they are a niche hobby with few practical applications outside the niche hobby. sure, some people hunt with them, people also hunt with bows and spears and all kinds of stuff that isn't exactly the most efficient and sensible choice because they enjoy the challenge and like bragging rights.

if I were assassinating someone I would probably pick a bolt action 300 blackout or 8.6 blackout with a folding stock, a 9" barrel, subsonic ammo, and some kind of suppressor that is quick detach. break open would be better but now you are getting into real hipster shit to save 3" of overall length.

It's the most compact firearm to shoot a high powered rifle cartridge from. They've been used for everything from shooting mice to hunting all the Big 5 in Africa. It's simple and accurate and with the forend removed, very very compact, just a tube. No need to fumble with pins and shit with an AR after reaching suspiciously into a backpack.

>if I were assassinating someone I would probably pick a bolt action 300 blackout or 8.6 blackout with a folding stock, a 9" barrel, subsonic ammo, and some kind of suppressor that is quick detach
You sound like a gear queer mall ninja honestly there, woman.

Only one shot was taken and it was loud. This discussion isn't about your fantasy loadout for killing people.

Hm interesting. Man With The Wheelchair Gun? You could fit a Contender or even a custom gun into a wheelchair. I doubt they lift up people in wheelchairs to search them for a TPUSA event.

Anyway the shooter may not have arrived or left with the firearm. Somebody else may have brought it in, maybe even a different person disposes of it. Since this was obviously a professional hit job at this point.

Do you think the shooter was going for a head-shot?

Do you even reload?
>>
>>515390205
You mean hand load? I usually buy virgin brass so it's not always reloading in my case, until I fire a cartridge once at least.

Reloading is something you do with machines and you get... certain results. Factory-tier results. I'm a bit more high brow than that. I usually neck size only. And I usually shoot .30-06 Improved which involves fire forming. I had a die made which exactly matches my rifle, which was "improved" way back in the day and is dimensionally different than normal .30-06 Improved. That's just one of my autistic hand loading things I do. It's fun.

I wouldn't use a trickler because it's less accurate than doing it by hand. Also I don't shoot in such volume that such a shortcut would be helpful to me.

also you are totally fucking larping because whatever "improved" chamber you have, usually this would be Ackley improved, but you are super special, anyway you would have to load all your ammo and even if you got fresh brass you would have to fire form it to your "improved" chamber before you got something consistent enough to print groups with.
>>515392017
now you're just being extra fucking retarded because the analytical balance on the autotrickler is accurate to the individual powder pellet and even if it is a little over or a little under, you just pour it back into the fucking hopper. you are a nogunz larping niggerfaggot who has an uncle who used to shoot with you but now he ignores you because you are weird and smell like cheese.

News was reporting it was a high caliber, so if you trust the news it couldn't have been 5.56 / .223 / AR-15.
Shouldn't have really been an AK variant either as 7.62 is pretty much .30.
Must have been 20mm
>>
>>515377745
From the gunshot it sounded like a larger caliber rifle round. Maybe 300 Win Mag or 308.
>>
>>515377745

7.62 at that distance would have taken half his neck away.
>>
>>515378075
IMO, that was an exit wound. his chest blows up like a balloon when he was hit before you see a massive neck wound and bleeding. super sonic loads do weird shit in living things, people forget that. to me, it looked like he was shot in the lower right hand torso, and the round hit a bone or the plate carrier he was wearing, then ricocheted upward and outward out of the left hand side of his neck. That wound in his neck is NOT an entry wound, that is an exit wound of a tumbling rifle round that did not fragment. I would not be surprised if we find out this was some kind of soft point/hollow point .556/.223, .30-06 ,or .308 hunting round. another possibility is that the round shot at him was AP, round went through the plate, hit bones, ricocheted upward, and flew out of his neck. you never really know with high velocity rounds. the footage is in too low of a frame rate to see what really happens.

>>
>>515394745
400 on a head is perfectly doable but you're going to want a slightly nicer rifle, actually test your ammo, and make sure you have the scope and dope dialled in correctly - and importantly in the case of an American shooter actually understand what you're doing there, most people around here operate guns on monkey see monkey do principles or "what the muhrens do is correct". Doesn't look like a windy day, I'd personally put the low shot down to a cold barrel or shooter error.

>>515396054
Depends on the bullet and how stable it is. A typically overstabilised spear point would poke a pencil hole too, just a slightly bigger one than .223.

>>
>>515397384
Depends on the barrel and how it's stocked but a cold barrel shot will tend to go somewhere slightly different to a string of warm barrel shots, the metal expanding as it heats up obviously. They also tend to read slightly lower speeds on the chrono, i.e. "more drop". Basically if you've zeroed your scope with a string of shots off a warm barrel, that zero isn't going to be dead nuts on until it heats up again.

Actually the "gun culture" makes being really bad with a gun very accessible. Very few people understand what they're doing and mostly operate on some combination of fuddlore, zogbotlore, and niglore.

Sure but if I can do it at a shooting range after just a handful of shots, I don't see why someone who properly trained for it couldn't land it even under pressure

Point of impact changes as shooting heats the barrel, the real snipers equipment is dialed in to be precise from the first shot from a cold barrel

No skill is needed. Just a decent rifle. It looked like a 5.56, but could have been a 308 (7.62).

>mass shooting = 25 dead
>gun control = 262,000,000 dead
Firearm ownership by citizens is to resist government tyranny, which is far more dangerous statistically than random crazy shooter. In the 20th century, governments killed 262 million of their OWN citizens. Not including war. That’s like 10 million school shootings. Or 273 school shootings per day, every day, for 100 years.

I doubt this was a serious shooter using hand loads. Unless it was from much further than 200 yards.

It's more a case that the barrel is so thick and high quality that it makes no real difference. You can't get around it by "dialling in" things.

>Utah officials claimed he was shot from 200 yards away.
Based on what exactly I wonder? The video is taken with a shitty phone camera but it lacks that distinctive crack-bang sound you get when being shot towards at a distance. If I had to guess based solely on that video I'd suspect some kind of suitcase gun or something hidden and remote controlled close by. Surely cunts nearby would have heard it but they were all ushered out of the area pretty quickly (and so would be the shooter if he were there)
>>
but like i said its interesting since why would a civilian care about 150 or 200 or 250 meters unless he previously trained at that specific distance and was sure of his skill to pull off the shot. why not just walk up with a 1911 and shoot the guy

>>515403042

even irons need adjusted, the only rifles sighted from the factory are super high end double rifles like rigby's which need their barrels aligned, they start at like $20k and go to over 100K$

with no practice you can hit a person sized target at 200 yards with just iron sights and standing. like with no practice too. under duress is different of course

NTA, but surely a person who goes out of their way to commit an assassination with a rifle has put some training under his belt. And I dont mean like millitary or anything special. Just like has owned the gun for a while and goes to the shooting range now and then. You make it sound like the killer bought the rifle last weekend.

That's a a severe misconception you have there. It's either timed OR accurate (very few people actually compete for accuracy) and the conditions are about as perfect and consistent as anyone could want.

No, we're talking more like a week or two of training.
And, that includes literal retards and niggers.
200 yards/meters is not that far.
I could probably hit a man sized target with a shotgun slug at that distance.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I can at 150 yards.

Someone who is not an idiot could spend one day at a firing range and make that shot with a high powered rifle with ease.

It is kinda funny how people are saying that a single shot long range rifle shot is evidence of it being a "professional" job. The vast majority of actual state carried assassinations use way more simple and easy methods than that hollywood shit. Getting close to the guy and magdumping him is probably the most common way governments assassinate people with guns.

Yeah, 200m doesn't say "pro" to me. If you want a guy dead and don't care about getting away, you'd get in close and make sure. If you want enough distance that you might conceivably slip off, 200m is too close in.
It says "this is what I'm capable of".
>>
>>515406087
someone doesn't care about hitting the a zone

anyway how did the assassin gauge the distance anyway? did he like count steps to arrive at 200 meters or did he use a rangefinder?

None, if using a rifle while prone.

That's a swing barrel .177 air rifle. I have the exact model, or something 99.9% identical. Needless to say, not capable of producing such a wound or covering such a distance.

They are roughly sighted in, most user manuals will tell you at what range and that final adjustments need to be made. that's how my Ar's came.

It would take more skill and a more accurate rifle. Not an off the shelf AR15, but any gun shop would have dozens of rifles that could make that shot.

>>515392904
It's not Ackley improved. There were several outfits other than old P.O. there doing improvements. Some of them were bizarre with an almost 90 degree shoulder angle and with the shoulder moved up quite a ways. Mine's not this extreme but it's got more capacity than an Ackley. I'd have to get into my notes to tell you exactly how much though.

And a trickler is lazy. I understand if you shoot a LOT, and have only certain requirements which are about the same as factory premium, it makes sense. But you just can't match doing it by hand with that setup.

Rifle range I shot at a few times for my yearly qualification. You need to hit a man sized target at 500m at least once to pass. I had to do a whole fucking week of range work and I don't recall having to retest more than like 3 people out of 600, and I do recall one guy had a almost completely shot out rifle, nearly a smooth bore. He did much better with a borrowed rifle on the retest and the armorer that let that slip had a bad month on the duty desk.

That depends on your height over bore. If you're capable of waddling the extra distance (or have a camera) it's always better to zero at the actual range.

something to remember when discussing shooters skill jsy that the he wasn't aiming for the neck, just the general silhouette. it's pretty clear that they hit the plate and it bounced up.

had that bullet gone an inch up or down he would've lived, but it hit the edge and bounced up.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!

If you have a good rifle and the optics to match shooting low-MOA or even sub-MOA groups is entirely possible at 200 yards, and low-MOA is entirely good enough here, it will be like 5 inch deviation from the aimpoint if atmospheric conditions are accounted for, but in good conditions this shouldn't throw off your aim by more than a few inches in addition.
tl;dr easy with amazing gear, mid difficulty with mid gear, but pretty much impossible to do in one shot with a less than precise rifle.
I'll lmao if the assassin used an AK.
>with iron sights

Something around or below 2MOA presumably, so an assault rifle 15 with very good optics will do.
