Am I the only one who is having a difficult time believing that guy could effectively pull off a kill shot from 200 yards?

of course not. However, you and any others who have that difficulty probably do not know firearms well.

At 100 yards using an AK with open sights on a full silhouette target I sent 30 rounds from the standing position while holding on the belt buckle (std 100 meter set up, I believe). I was not rapid firing (not allowed) but was at about 1 round per second. Only 3 did not hit black. 3 others were outside of the 6 ring, but hit black. 19 were inside of the 8 ring with tighter grouping at the center. Believe me when I confess I am noting special as a marksman.

Point being, 200 yards from a prone position with a scope is an easy shot if the weapon is sighted properly.

Are you saying that anybody could make a 200 yard shot without any previous shooting experience? I assumed that this guy was at least competent enough to have practiced to make that shot.

It wasn’t 200 yards. It’s 145 at the max. Go to Google Maps, sat image, use the distance measurement tool. I dont know where 200 is coming from but the distance is really 145.
