Before they reveal the weapon and the caliber of the rounds that were used, let me say this: 200 yards is not a difficult shot with a scope. Even for a person who has never shot a gun. In fact, the people who have never shot guns before usually perform better the first time on the range than the more experienced shooters because they can be trained properly from the start.
I'm not on any conspiracy shit, but think of it like playing Madden with the FG sliders all the way up. Those 60-yard kicks ain't shit with the sliders on. The scope is this case is the slider. Most military personnel are trained to shoot from 4 positions. Standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone. At 200 yards, or I should say, the further you get from the target, the more stable you are as you get closer to the ground. So while shooting from 200 yards in the prone with a scope is considered routine and easy, doing it standing with a scope from that distance is more reliable than, say, somebody shooting a pistol at someone from 100 feet away. The scope is the equalizer. The position of the shooter, standing, kneeling, sitting, prone, only adds or subtracts from the stability.
Just saying that someone looking through a scope like an ACOG from 200 yards at a sitting target could've aimed directly for his head and caught any part of it. This is not to say that the shooter meant to shoot him in his neck. Just saying at 200 yards with a scope, you could aim for the head and you'll still hit the target somewhere on the head with 90% accuracy. The number lowers the further away and less stable you get.
