Hitting a torso-sized target at 140 - 160 yds with a .22LR pistol/revolver is very doable.

Yes, indeed. But who would pick a 22LR to pull off this shot? I’d think it would be a rank amateur with little training and little practice. 130 yards would be a bit of a challenge for such a person, especially if the adrenaline is pumping.

As a disclaimer, I’ve read that the shooter used a 22LR. And that’s what I’m basing my remarks on. If it actually was another caliber, all bets are off.
