Theory: FPS games actually saved Donald Trump

His head was glowing orange to indicate his weak spot.

Idk dawg, a soft kevlar vest will stop a pistol round effectively by turning a penetrating injury into a blunt force injury, and they're really only useful for stopping pistol energies. A quick Google result shows the .45 ACP having a top muzzle energy of about 600 ft lbs. The .223 has a muzzle energy of 1190 ft lbs, making it almost double the energy. Even if it didn't overwhelm a bulletproof vest, there's still a decent chance it would have clobbered the fuck out of a nearly 80 year old man who probably takes blood thinners.

a straight up 556 or 756 at that distance would probably at least break a couple of his ribs at the very best. factor in hes old. its wayy too much energy in there even with perfect armoring. not to mention you guys have easy access to both.

yall gotta be on par with your guns because shits about to go down, i mean it. we don't give enough importance to the fact they are fucking armed to the teeth and have access to everything you ever did online.

please be safe.

i think americans are just bad at spectacular acts of violence now. we watch a lot of tv. we expect it to be easier than it is. remember that guy that attacked an FBI building with a nailgun, thinking the nails would penetrate bulletproof glass? or the nazi dipshit who wore a ski mask wrong and didn't shoot anyone?

"I'm just gonna shoot at the presidential candidate and see what happens" feels really wrong. He missed his head by a few centimetres. How is all of this even possible.

If it were planned, he'd have the right equipment for the job (perhaps a suppressed .308 hunting rifle), have it range zeroed for expected distance and know where the SS shooters were setup.

in CQB situations headshots can be necessary and practical, but we are talking about ranges where you do not have space to fully use your iron sights or where a standard rifles zero distance is too far away for the sights to be effective (there are aiming techniques with AR platform rifles for ranges under about 50 meters where you line up the front post with the top of the rear sight ring instead of the center, and aim that intersection at the target's head, but this may only work on full length ARs or with certain sights and gun setups). at extreme CQB ranges the incidental or post-death firing of the person you just shot actually has a realistic chance of hitting you, and operating in CQB you often have to be careful with your shots to avoid hitting civillians or hostages (through walls or in the room) making rapid or automatic fire a poor choice in certain situations. if you are not worried about civillians or infrastructure you simply don't do door-breaching SWAT style CQB, you chuck grenades or a satchel charge into the building or light it up with the .50's from a mile away or call in a mortar strike or something.

however when shooting at someone from range like this, you should definitely aim center mass, unless you are like a GIGN sniper trying to take out a target with a hostage or a detonator, then you aim for the brain stem, but most SWAT style sniping is done at close range, not more than across the street of the target building, and with a scope.

but if we are being real, sniping or shooting at all is a poor way to assassinate someone. to ensure the target is eliminated, the CIA for example recommends explosives deployed from close range (i.e. strap a brick of C4 to them, shove a grenade into their mouth, etc., just throwing or launching a grenade in the room isn't always enough) or blunt force trauma to the head.

At his age? And at his level of physical and mental fitness? Shock alone can kill and getting shot is pretty shocking, no matter where

Really depends, in the shoulder he's probably surviving but not in a good way for years, maybe the rest of his life. Just the wrong tools were employed for a high chance of success at that range.

shoulders have a lot of arteries, but bullets are small and there are plenty of places to be shot that won't kill you. you pretty much want to aim for the heart, lungs, and/or central nervous system to ensure the target is down.
