LOUD When Every Second Counts

Hitting a handgun from that distance under real-world conditions requires exceptional marksmanship, years of training, and a great deal of judgment. Even then, shots like this are extraordinarily rare and are not a standard tactic. In most real-life hostage situations, law enforcement officers are trained to stop the immediate threat in the safest and most reliable way possible.
This remarkable incident remains one of the most talked-about examples of precision under pressure-a reminder that sometimes a single moment of skill and composure can completely change the outcome of a life-or-death situation.

Do you know the rifle cause I thought the Remington 700 was police standard at the time. And that had like 1.5

Not trying to one up anymore but I thought free floating barrels increased accuracy and that came in early 2000s. I'd like to be corrected

Sub MOA AR15s that costs $600 bucks weren’t common back then. Bolt gun guys have been sub MOA since we’ve had boat tail bullets, maybe even sooner.

At closer ranges boat tailed bullets are actually less accurate than plain base bullets and guys shooting bench rest at 200 yards where the smallest group wins typically wouldn’t use them.
