As an old Marine you could say I have been in a 'few" firefights..and my
target was the basic human "shadow" and all hits are in the center chest .
Also Marine rifle coach with 4 awards expert rifleman. And I still do not
see how a 'trained' professional marksman can miss so much. An M-16/AR-15 is
a very accurate weapon in the right hands.

Wow that's sad!,
I don't understand why the cops have such poor shots. At 500 meters I
am bullseye 10 out 0f 10 , with a scope that range would get wayyyy on
out there. Really makes the officers look like Keystone Cops when the
only inflicted wound in a 50 round fired shoot out is a bruise from an
ejected 9mm empty brass!


Ever been in a firefight where the 'target' is shooting back at you? Makes
a difference :-)
