Was the "shooter" trained?

Date: September 16th, 2025 10:36 AM Author: Khaki crackhouse how hard for someone without training to shoot a person sitting 200 yards away with a rifle and scope and the shooter has an elevated position and 1 shot?
chatgpt: Bottom line: for someone with no training or range practice, the probability of reliably hitting a person-sized target at 200 yards with one shot is low. You’d be far more likely to miss than to hit, unless you got unusually lucky or the conditions were extremely favorable and the equipment happened to be perfectly set up. |

for anyone who shoots, hitting a stationary target from 200 yards is not difficult when you're using a scoped rifle. |
Date: September 16th, 2025 10:38 AM Author: Cerise duck-like space Maybe trained in the sense he went out shooting. But any pro knows you clear the chamber after taking the shot. It’s drilled into you after thousands of rounds and would be second nature to anyone with actual training or experience. The fact that he left it in the chamber matters imo.

Date: September 16th, 2025 3:32 PM Author: walnut idiot Are you some kind of Loser who just lives on the internet? “Gun safety” rules don’t apply irl when you’re aiming the gun at people you want to kill and also trying to Escape. Also not ejecting the casing under normal circumstances makes it easier to get away with it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775881&forum_id=2).#49275313) |

Date: September 16th, 2025 3:30 PM Author: walnut idiot Imo it doesn’t take “training” but I feel like a Loser transporting a gun the way he did would knock the scope off zero. Without Scumbag supervision or a few deer kills under his belt I don’t see how he’d be confident that it’d hold zero after being in his Pants. 30-06 also does not have a flat trajectory so range and at least knowing how far away the target is is crucial. I didn’t know what a Rangefinder was until I was 25. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775881&forum_id=2).#49275306) |

Date: September 16th, 2025 3:32 PM Author: pungent angry garrison newt 100% needed to have that scope sited in. my guess is he did it at 100yards and aimed for the head, with the bullet drop ~200yards resulting in the neck shot (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775881&forum_id=2).#49275315) |

Date: September 16th, 2025 3:39 PM Author: Exciting Transparent Dysfunction Dilemma Thought the bullet ricocheted off his chest plate into his neck?
I would consider going after the body armor company for product defect but none of those companies have any money |

|
Date: September 16th, 2025 3:46 PM Author: Exciting Transparent Dysfunction Dilemma It looks like lightweight level II or IIIa armor at most with that super thin profile
But it deflected that round like I'd expect from a ceramic plate
The thinner ones are supposed to catch the bullet more than bounce off
Now that I think about it maybe he wasn't wearing shit

Date: September 16th, 2025 4:12 PM Author: onyx sinister point he wasn’t wearing any ceramic plate.. maybe he had a soft vest but that’s only for pistol rounds
as for deflection, it’s possible the round hit a clavicle or something and exited the neck, hence the massive blood loss |

Date: September 17th, 2025 10:37 PM Author: Snigga The chances of a .30-06 deflecting off body armor so thin it’s not visible beneath a t-shirt is incredibly low. Maybe he was shooting a hollow point, but I don’t see any other way a .30-06 round deflects off minimal armor. The shirt jump seems too large for it to be anything other than a deflection, though (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775881&forum_id=2).#49280116) |

Date: September 17th, 2025 10:48 PM Author: Snigga It’s impossible to know exactly without knowing the mass of the bullet and powder in the round he was using, as well as the shape of the bullet (hollow point vs spitzer), but it seems like the consensus is around 4” of drop on the modal .30-06 round zeroed at 100yds.
Another possibility is he zeroed at 25 meters (the standard zeroing distance now with 5.56 popularity) and shot for the chest but failed to account properly for the rise of the bullet as a result of shooting downhill.
I’m still not sure how to account for that shirt jump, though. |

Date: September 17th, 2025 10:39 PM Author: Snigga Without any training, it would be difficult, but you could teach yourself to do it, and probably do it better than the shooter did, with some YouTube videos and a range day.

Date: September 17th, 2025 10:43 PM Author: hank_scorpio learning to shoot doesn't require "training" you can just go out and shoot a few times with very, very basic knowledge and figure it out, you realize your own ancestors probably shot things right? A child that can hit a target from 20 yards with a bb gun can, with maybe 30 seconds of instruction, figure out how the fuck to operate a rifle with a scope and after just a few shots should be able to hit reliably much further out, like literally a 9 year old could do it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775881&forum_id=2).#49280124) |
