Not of the caliber of Chris Kyle but pretty good...all 4'7" of her.

There’s a story about Chris Kyle: on a cold January morning in 2010, he pulled into a gas station somewhere along Highway 67, south of Dallas. He was driving his supercharged black Ford F350 outfitted with black rims and oversize knobby mudding tires. Kyle had replaced the Ford logo on the grill with a small chrome skull, similar to the Punisher emblem from the Marvel Comics series, and added a riot-ready aftermarket grill guard bearing the words ROAD ARMOR. He had just [ ... ] moved back to Texas.
Two guys approached him with pistols and demanded his money and the keys to his truck. With his hands in the air, he sized up which man seemed most confident with his gun.
Kyle knew what confidence with a gun looked like. He was the deadliest sniper in American history. He had at least 160 confirmed kills by the Pentagon’s count, but by his own count—and the accounts of his Navy SEAL teammates—the number was closer to twice that. In his four tours of duty in Iraq, Kyle earned two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars with Valor. He survived six IED attacks, three gunshot wounds, two helicopter crashes, and more surgeries than he could remember. He was known among his SEAL brethren as The Legend and to his enemies as al-Shaitan, “the devil.”
He told the robbers that he just needed to reach back into the truck to get the keys. He turned around and reached under his winter coat instead, into his waistband. With his right hand, he grabbed his Colt 1911. He fired two shots under his left armpit, hitting the first man twice in the chest. Then he turned slightly and fired two more times, hitting the second man twice in the chest. Both men fell dead.

But, but, but! - Michael Moore & Seth Rogen have told us Not To Like this movie!
I didn’t know this. Thanks for posting it.

Smart move, it’s also ok to shoot them through a table.
What was interesting in that story was when the police ran his ID ...
Quoting ...
Kyle leaned on his truck and waited for the police.
When they arrived, they detained him while they ran his driver’s license. But instead of his name, address, and date of birth, what came up was a phone number at the Department of Defense. At the other end of the line was someone who explained that the police were in the presence of one of the most skilled fighters in U.S. military history. When they reviewed the surveillance footage, the officers found the incident had happened just as Kyle had described it. They were very understanding, and they didn’t want to drag a just-home, highly decorated veteran into a messy legal situation.
Chris Kyle is 100% awesome, always! I know he’s dead, but I bet his corpse could kill a criminal and a muslim at the same time.
I wonder what it was about that F-350 that made everyone want it. Supposedly, the lowlife, maggot that murdered Kyle told his sister that he murdered Chris because he wanted that truck.
...that would be Kyle's Wife & Kids.
WAIT. I have been told repeatedly that things like this didn’t happen in Texas.
For later....
thanks for article, read it all and respect Kyle & those like him who serve.
I don’t know that this story has ever been confirmed one way or the other.
I saw the movie last night. I really didn’t know much about him, and didn’t know that he was dead.
I witnessed something that has happened only once before in a movie theater. It was when watching Sielberg’s movie Schindler’s List. As happened then, after American Sniper, no body got up. Ever single persone just sat there watching the remaining photos and credits.
Perhaps Chris may usurp Chuck Norris in the “Chuck Norris could ____________ in one second with only his big toe” .. bits
Another link for you ...
At the end of “The Passion” the audience applauded; I never saw that before.
Well, we could have, but, Chuck Norris taught Chris Kyle how to shoot.
...He told the robbers that he just needed to reach back into the truck to get the keys. He turned around and reached under his winter coat instead, into his waistband. With his right hand, he grabbed his Colt 1911. He fired two shots under his left armpit, hitting the first man twice in the chest. Then he turned slightly and fired two more times, hitting the second man twice in the chest. Both men fell dead.
I love a story with a happy ending.
A real life Mitch Rapp.
