He obviously wasn’t being shot at himself. So, other than the adrenaline present with shooting a person, did he do anything anyone couldn’t t have done with a 30-30? Meh…good shooting but pretty routine.
Please link some more "routine" 180 yd shots on active shooters for the class.
We are all very interested.
Thanks.
You don't think it happens frequently in combat?
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
Johnny. What are the marksmanship requirements for graduating Air Force basic training when you went?
How many hours of firearms training did you complete?

As would I. A good guy did a great job in a professional manner.
I am just shocked that many on a hunting board would consider this extraordinary marksmanship.
Why don't you quote where any, much less "many", used the word "extraordinary marksmanship".
Most, if not all, agree a 200 yd shot on a KD range against a IPSC target is pretty simple.
Now add in bullets going both directions, innocents on the range, a red dot, resting on the side of the truck, moving target, and a single shot that shuts down the bad guy instantly.
Based on the recorded performance of LE shooting it does qualify as an extraordinary shot in the real world.
He probably did shoot him in the leg if I had to guess. I read several articles about it and none stated where the LE hit the perp. The perp died from a self inflicted gunshot however. If that's the case, it was a crappy but effective shot.
"Investigators said Collins sustained two gunshot wounds; one consistent with an officer-fired shot, and one consistent with a self-inflicted shot."

The perp was shot center of the chest. according to the NY Post. Rio7
That is thought to be the self-inflicted wound that ended the episode.
^^
"Investigators said Collins sustained two gunshot wounds; one consistent with an officer-fired shot, and one consistent with a self-inflicted shot. The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s office ruled Collins’ death as a homicide from a rifle wound to the chest."

Pretty extensive at the time I went through.
The M-16s had 22 LR conversions.
Each boot got one 50 round box of 22 Long Rifle.
10 rounds for training and a 40 round course of fire for certification.
That's not a joke but exactly what happened.
I got all Wizardry on shooting after my time in service.

I have had lots of formal training including cutting edge CQB. LOTS.
Just not any in the Air Force 4 decades ago.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
The second thing that came to mind, " Is Garandimal fussing because he braced himself on the vehicle and didn't shoot off of his feet?"
Regardless, calmly doing a difficult part of the job. Well Done, Officer!
