Give the kid some credit! A 400 ft shot and got an ear is actually pretty good.
Bit dumb to aim for the head if you might only get one shot.
I’m not sure he had a lot of time to plan that shot.
If you were in his case you wouldn't think that through ahead of time?
Me now? Yes. If I were to do such a thing it wouldn’t be with that tool from that perch, etc.
Me at 20? I might not have much more foresight.
But, you know he knew the outcome. And when you are in that state of mind, some things slip through the cracks along with your sanity.
Yeah probably. I do wonder if he told anyone about it beforehand.
Probably not? I’m curious if he was having health issues. The photos of him at the scene had him looking very thin, but some others online are not like that.
Yeah I'd think he's wearing a vest...aim for the head.
That's fair. I'd say don't shoot someone in general but yeah.
In general yes.
With ironsight too
Really no scope? I mean, that’s very impressive while under stress.
