sniper capability?

A 500 yd shot is a pretty good shot. A 1000 yd shot is a great shot.

Shooting from the dark woods into a lighted building from 100yds is not “sniper capability”.

That's what all the hub bub is about? Man sized target at 100 meters? I'll put 28 rounds rapid fire into that all day long.

I don’t think they release where he shot from so perhaps it was further than 100 yds and perhaps it was shorter. I cannot imagine it was 1000 yds or even 500 considering the heavily populated area with buildings.

I can hit that with my old .22 rimfire with no sights on it.

Don’t know about the rapid fire part. But, do agree that a 100 yd shot is not a challenging shot for any experienced hunter, especially if equipped with a good quality rifle and scope setup.

Don't our US Marines typically shoot at up to 500 yards range?
