Let's see if I can recall Basic training and arms qualification.
We fired an M-16 with open sights, no scope.
Pop-up targets were set up at 75 meters, 150, 250, 300 meters.
I know it's bragging, but I qualified expert, which required about 95% hits on all targets at all ranges.
Let me reiterate, open sights, no scope.
This guy (or guys) is no sniper.

Our guy here can pick someone who is refuelling and standing still for a couple of minutes.

"This guy (or guys) is no sniper."
I have to disagree. Maybe he is not a military trained sniper, but after his first kill,he was a sniper.
Shooting from 100 or 200 yards, with a scoped .223, a steady hand, and a good eye, is not hard.
Now, shooting from a vehicle, I`m finding hard to believe.
After 10 hits,I can't believe that not a single person has seen a rifle sticking out of a van window or out of the back, seen the puff of smoke from the shot.
The "white van" might be involved. Could be an accomplice
and the van may be a red herring to throw off the persuit.
If they stop the right white van, they won't find anything.
