Shootin'and killin' with a powerful weapon from a safe distance.


The subject of the story was a very adept serial killer.


Very adept at killing those needing killing.

I hope you didn't waste money seeing it. It would have been way over your head.

Kyle was motivated to kill hate-filled sociopaths by duty, by righteousness, to protect innocent people, to protect his comrades, by self-preservation, by hate; it does not matter which excuse you proscribe for ending the reign of terror of human slime. Kyle saved lives. leave it up to anti-American Democrats to attack him.

I work with a guy who was a sniper in the Marines for 10 years. Really good, well adjusted guy. He doesn't own a gun now, says he's had his fill of shooting. One day in conversation, I asked if he'd ever had to use his sniper skills. He dropped his head a bit and said, "Too many times". He doesn't talk much about it.

'Serial killer?" Huh... Harry I thought it was about a highly trained soldier doing his job.

Btw, I hit small targets with a vintage ww1 issue half worn out British battle rifle at 200 yd with v iron sights

Yeah, but if you had a 'hand built' AR with a shaved-down gas block and a lot of other expert
gunsmithing work done on it, you'd be covering those 200 yard shot groups with a dime.

If he'd gone here, he wouldn't have had to the significant, for him,
trouble of gathering parts and slapping them together.

Snipers who are successful fit the definition of serial killer.

As I stated, I don't have a place to shoot at 200 yards.

With "iron sights" at 100 yards, though, I can consistently hit clay
pigeons with my AR rifle. But my goal is to shoot 1" groups at that
distance, and to do that I need "eye assistance" ")

I consistently shoot 2" to 3" groups with iron sights with my .357
revolver at 25 yards, and 2" groups with iron sights with my lever
action rifle at 50 yards. I've got a scope on my AR 15/22 and shoot very
tight groups at 50 and 100 yards, the latter especially with the
built-in BDC on the scope. When I get my .22LR Ruger pistol back
together and I get used to the new trigger and other stuff in it, I'll
see how good I can do with it.

You're just a natural born killer. ;-)
