Is the movement of the sharpshooter’s rifle recoil or him jerking on it while ducking?
That’s what I am asking, because I don’t know enough about rifles.
Looked like a flinch to me. Takes a bunch (like a LOT) of recoil to knock back the tripod like that. I’m talking PTRS or Tankgewehr type, collar bone-breaking recoil. Dude was watching the guy take his shots at Trump and was like “holy shit!” and rocked back the whole rig with a flinch. His finger had to have been off the trigger too, since a flinch like that would have discharged a chambered round
Tripod mounted rifle. Any downward motion of the stock will raise the muzzle.
Both of them were not on their optics when they flinched, before we heard the sound of the first shot.
They do not appear to have shot.
Who are they?
Says POLICE on their vests.
Were they alerted by the yelling and pointing of the public and trying to see the shooter, but couldn’t because he was in defilade position, behind the ridgeline of the building, 90° to their position?
Whatever...it was a collossal FU by the SS and all security.
