how long was the sniper already fixcating the shooter + doing nothing?
I am guessing he knew the location of the shooter but the shooter hadn't shown up yet.
shooter shot first, sniper lifts head (WHY?) the sniper shoots back
I watched it again. When the sniper lifts his head no shots have been fired. The first shot is heard only after the sniper lifts his head. Also, the camera cuts off the frame, but it looks like the sniper is changing postion after the first shot - almost like shooting someone who is running away ...
I have fired rifles with scopes on them and I didn't have my eye on the scope itself. It was set up so that I could look through it and see most effectively with my eye 2-3 inches behind the scope. I was able to fire the rifle without moving my head before firing. It worked better when I was able to keep my eye on the target as far into the motion of my trigger finger as possible until I probably flinched reflexively. Just my two cents.
Isn't that what proper eye relief is for? And I can't imagine a professional sniper making that much of a "jerking" motion prior to a shot. Taking eyes off target before shooting seems to go against all weapons training been a part of.
Yes. Exactly this!
sniper perfect position, already eye on the shooter

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense yet.
Giving it the ole 72… super bizarre. No way a 20 yo with an AR got that close. A marine can shoot 500 yards, I read this was 150?
Who’s the guy that comes down from the bleachers with a green backpack and glow sticks and bosses the ss around?
Then, there’s the guy behind Trump next to a blonde in a teal shirt (viewers left) that literally looks like the caddy shack.
Hunters get buck fever and pull shots. Twenty year old kids on a probable suicide mission shooting another human? Hes lucky he hit anything.
We need to hear this sniper teams Rules of Engagement.
Yes!!!
Likely a blood droplet from his head.
Snipers remove eye from scope to prevent recoil eye injury. Your 100% on target.

Absolutely. 100%.
Think of a camera with a shutter ' bulb' . Your 'tool' is locked in mechanically without your 'help'.
ty, fren
No professional will shoot like that
