183 yards with a red dot is kinda legend territory.

My red dot would obscure a target nearly 200 yards away ...

Well you do know that the AKRM-15/16 assault rifle fires off rounds at 100,000’/sec.

So easy even a caveman could do it!

He could have a sight with a few different options for a dot size,a Tee, a Chevron, etc.

The reflex/holographic sights I have on rifles are 1 and 2 MOA, so only 2"/4" at 200 yds. Larger dots are more appropriate for pistols and shotguns. 200 yards isn't "legendary" for a man sized target, especially shooting supported like the officer. Still good shooting and one of the calmest, most composed shoots I've seen by a LEO.

Not if it is 6x.

“183 yards with a red dot is kinda legend territory.”

Not really. My Aimpoint red dot has a 2 MOA dot. That’s 4 inches at 200 yards, or about the size of the kill zone for a head shot. If you know your drops, and I do know my drops, it’s a pretty easy shot.

Zeroed at 100 yards there’s about 10-1/2 inches of drop with a 55 grain soft point bullet.

Easy peasy.

Sorry, my mistake. It’s about 21 inches of drop.
