>man who fires longest shot in history. Not a difficult shot
>Redneck who has firing range in back yard. Nah Not a difficult shot
>Alex Jones: I can make that shot with my eyes closed. Not a difficult shot

>Masters League starcraft player: Getting into masters is easy
>Pro Baseball player: Not that hard to hit it over the wall. Its like shooting pool
>Pro Basketball player: I can make this shot from half court all day
>Pro 9 ball player: English? Thats the easy part

Over half the people saying its easy would miss rooftop Charlie Kirk shot. With the exception of maybe people who shoot competitively or are trained snipers. 150 yards at the range you are getting lucky with a center shot. Most of your shots are hitting the outer target. Most assassins are going for the chest not the head because of that. 2 shots to the chest.

Its 1 and a half professional football fields. Its the people who like to brag who say its easy. They just conveniently ignore all the times they would miss that shot.

He went for a head shot like an amateur and hit the neck by luck.

>>518608186
So you admit it is a difficult shot you just think he got lucky?

>>518608430
It's not difficult is you go for center mass.

>>518608741
How long would a person have to train to accurately take that shot?

>>518608956
Depends on the person doesn't it.
On average I guess a year of practice.

>>518609455
If something takes a year to learn how to do its not an easy thing. Its easy to say its easy if you already know how. And I'm willing to bet that a lot of people who know how would still miss it more than 10-20% of the time. The people who would hit it every time are like... the best of the best.

He was some random young guy. Say you have a year of training and you can hit a target 150 yards away.
Ok now imagine climbing that roof to a public speaking event, kill the guy in 1 shot, and escape.
That's enormous amounts of pressure. There's no way that's an easy shot. Maybe an easy shot at a target range where you still miss sometimes

>>518609815
Somethings come easy to people but for you I'm sure everything comes hard.
Rock hard

>>518610096
I usually have a pretty good start on things. Always have. With the exception of art or creativity.
>>518610010
Yeah thats my point. Im old enough to know bullshit when I see it. And this is just bullshit. I know what it means to be successful at something. And dismissing something as easy when its not is not the way. Its a way for cocky people to feel important around others.

>>518608077 (OP)
My assumption was the shooter aimed for the head and missed, hitting charlie in the throath instead

>>518609815
One year of training is not much…rule of thumb says 3years apprentice, 5years master….10years+ true professional.

Holds across most domains in my view.

>>518608077 (OP)
Plus your adrenaline would be jacked if you'd never done anything like this before. That Robinson kid would have been shaking like a leaf.

>>518610216
Its always dirt easy when you get there and then look back. Of course it wasn‘t and never is.

Take something as innocent as professional gaming. It is extremely common for superstar players to completely fold over when they are on stage. Players who have experience being on stage at a high stakes tournament are valuable for this reason.
Now put it in the perspective of killing a guy.
Assassinations do happen, but I agree with the OP about the "easy shot" thing being weird. He wasn't some disgruntled navy seal vet

>>518610605
Bingo.
>How hard can it be?
>Oh shit... This is harder than I thought.

>>518608077 (OP)
That's not a very hard shot for anyone who deer hunts. He wasn't new to shooting, so he had experience.
I'll admit that the targets are bigger, but marines are required to shoot at, 200, 300, and 500 yards with open sights on an m16 to pass boot camp. They train for only two weeks. Most recruits don have firearms experience except maybe a strap. The m16 is not a distance shooter. He had a much better gun and optics for making the shot. Obviously he hit low because he didn't account for bullet drop, meaning he didn't have extensive training.
Now go neck yourself tranny

>>518611103
You finally made it to the thread. And i'm that these faggots NEVER MISS. EVER. Like its 99.9999999% accuracy right?

>>518608077 (OP)
Any retard could have walked up to within 15 feet of Charlie and done it with a handgun.

This was obviously a staged event done by professionals, only retards can’t see that.

>>518608430
>It's not difficult
>He still fucked it up
>and got lucky.

>>518608956
I could teach my GF to make that shot in an hour.

>>518611444
bullshit.

>>518611444
And 45 min would be spent teaching her not to flag everyone.

>>518611103
Idk man. Pretty sure there would be plenty of marines nearly shitting themselves trying to assassinate a target at a public event, unless they have experience killing, not shooting

>>518611489
If the gun was already set up (and it was) then shooting it was literally just aiming the crosshair and firing without moving to much. From that distance there is almost no drop.

>>518608077 (OP)
just lucky, you know

>>518611159
>accuracy
Doesn't matter how much they miss if the majority are on target. If you can place your shot on target the the majority of the time, you have better odds of making your kill shot than missing.luck helps too. If the bullet hadn't dropped, there's a chance he misses completely misses.

>>518611624
still sounds like bullshit. Are you jewish or black? Jews think they are telling the truth even when they are lying. Because they only care about being right and not the truth.

>>518611553
We like to joke about being autistic here, but there are actually highly functioning individuals with a bit of autism. It can actually make you smarter and more focused. I've never assassinated anyone before, but I have been in very high stress situation and I'm able to shut everything down except the task that I'm focused on.

>>518608077 (OP)
Nigger I head shoot animals on the run further away than that. It's an easy shot.

if it's .30-06, 150 yards is literally sight-in range for a scope
the only people who think this is a difficult shot are people who have literally never fired a gun even once
>COULD YOU MAKE IT
right now? no, i'm too poor to shoot .30-06 so i'm rusty. but with a month of range time, i could hit that mark, yeah. anyone could.

>>518608077 (OP)
What does a cueball and a beaner have in common?
They harder you hit them the more english you get.

>>518611890
Its not an easy shot then. You are basically saying its a medium difficulty shot.
