Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

How can two gunmen both fail.

Please go to the range and practice before you do adventurism people. Make sure to add in some stress practice because when it comes to actual action your body is going to going into stress hyperdrive.

I think a lot of people are just underestimating how hard it is to shoot a gun.
This guy apparently was taking pot shots from several holes away.

Idk i went shooting once and it was easy for me, i guess i just continue to be built different

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How many yards were you shooting from?

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

far enough to think "this isn't that hard" 🤷‍♂️

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

this makes it sound like 5 yards lol

I think most people severely underestimate it, yeah. I was watching an anime with a British friend the other day, and he referred to an untrained civilian whiffing several close range shots with a pistol as "plot armor" on the part of the character being shot at. And I was just like "buddy you have no idea how hard that shit is" lol I almost went into a rant about how I have missed shots at exactly that range against a bigger target while under no stress and bracing the pistol against a solid object

Apparently he was 3-400 yards away or something

Went to the back 9 instead of the front 9, rookie mistake

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

trump ain't walking around the back nine even with his cart, way too far smh

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Not a free shot with an ak, that's for sure

Go look at how poorly the US did in the Olympics. The US is a spray and pray nation lol

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

secret service noticed him before trump got close. I mean he was in range where if he had a clear shot he could maybe have gotten trump, but he was presumably waiting for trump to come closer when the SS started firing at him.
