A story has come out about the OzCop who is supposed to have shot and killed one of the Muslim terrorist assholes, ending at least that one’s participation in the fun and games.
Some salient facts: the gun was a Glock (model unknown), and the guy took his shot from just under 50 yards and dropped the dirtbag.
That’s some good shooting, or else just very lucky. (That’s why we shooters concentrate on shooting 3- or 5-shot groups: do it once, fine; do it again, good; do it five times, now we’re talking. Consistency takes luck out of the equation.) Consider the pic:
Couple of comments: Note that Our Hero did two things that helped him: he took cover behind a hefty tree, and used the trunk as a rest. (If he’d made a 50-yard kill shot offhand, I’d have to go with a 60% luck factor unless he was a highly proficient handgunner with maybe some competition experience.)
As for the tree, it’s a well-known fact that a thick tree trunk will stop the vast majority of calibers, and as anyone will tell you, if you’re going up against a hostile shooter, cover is essential because the less of you he can see, the better chance you have of surviving.
Anyway, all’s well that ends well. It’s just too bad the other asshole wasn’t shot and killed as well.
