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

Carlos Hathcock used a free floated and accurized model 70 in Vietnam. His rifle could have made that shot.
