Very cool. I suspect that was a fair amount of skill, and also, quite a bit of luck.

312 feet. I feel safe under Sgt. Adam Johnson's watch. Not so much under his boss.

Man came to shoot, not to loot.

Huh. Well now I have to try it. My Sig 226 is a pretty good machine. I'll give it a go next time at the rifle range.

i visited a police academy. in the rock hills behind the gun range, they have a man sized silhouette placed way out there. if i had to guess from memory..80 yards. it was to illustrate to the shooters a handgun can possibly hit from that far away. it took me a while to get "calibrated"..but i did manage to ring the gong from the range. no clue if my bullets were anywhere near center mass. super fun.
i used my G21. and i had no horses..and i was two handing it..and nobody was shooting an AK at me..

Here is another similar story. 70 yard shot to the head by an Air Force bicycle cop, stopping a madman with an AK style rifle...
