This is not even comparable to the assassination attempt on Trump, where the guy fired multiple shots and missed. The person who killed Charlie knew what they were doing, aiming at the jugular artery, possibly a professional. The fact that they couldn't even find the person makes no sense. How long is it going to take for someone to escape the roof top and get away with it? Isn't US intelligence so good it can catch people doing crimes from different parts of country and even the world? If they don't catch the person it's because it WAS an inside job..
At 200 yards would there be much bullet drop? Maybe he was aimed into the head and just didn't account for bullet drop.
Assuming he shot something like .308?? Like 3 inches, maybe?
Also bullet drop is irrelevant if you know the distance you're shooting from. You simply zero the rifle scope at any range you like and your bullet arc will bring the round near the center of your crosshair at that range.
> I could see myself hitting with relative accuracy at 200 yards if I spent a few hours beforehand practicing especially given the quality of firearms and optics that are available to civilians.
Literally anyone here with the exception of the jeets and kikes can hit a human sized stationary target at 200 yards with a days worth of practice. It isn't some remarkable feat.
I've never shot a rifle like that, only a few pistols (a couple of different glocks and a CZ), some shotgun, and a couple of AK variants with and without optics. The range I was shooting at was maybe like 70 meters at the furthest so didn't really think about bullet drop much. Guns aren't super popular here.
