SWAT Team Sniper Uses Buddy's Shoulder as Stabilizer to Shoot Thug

[hkump]

All I have to say is, "Wow." Sniper literally used his buddy's shoulder to stabilize the gun and took one shot to knockout the thug. Amazing skill.

Skill?? I held the flashlight for my dad. Talk about pressure and skill. Did the guy at 11 o’clock of the muzzle know he was about to break a shot? Be vewwy vewwy still!

Notice that the computer monitor is still functioning even though it just took a round. Now that's quality!

Did he forget about sight over bore?

Not trying to start anything just wondering

Who cares. He just saved Florida a ton of tax payers money being wasted on court fees and food and housing. LOL

Nice shot, but I bet the guy to the front left of the muzzle felt that muzzle blast even though the rifle was suppressed. Risky shot IMHO shooting thru a monitor which could have deflected the bullet, but at the distance of the shot/monitor/bad guy I guess he felt safe in the shot. Way to go guys!! 1 less in the system to deal with now.

I don't know if anyone specifically teaches that technique or it's just an obvious way to get a good rest without a tree etc, but my father shot a couple of deer off my shoulder that way.

I wondered the same thing about the guy at 11’oclock of the muzzle. Don’t worry…the projectile was spectrum staggered against deflection. They do it all the time. It will hold!

Anyone know the round? I’m guessing .308 or larger. Bigger is better in this case.

No, round was reported to be intentionally placed through the monitor and he hit the perp dead center of his forehead.

Without a doubt, but they absolutely practice shots like this. The muzzle blast would be felt, but wouldn't be problematic.

With a .308? Unlikely that any modern monitor would deflect it.

My understanding is that this is a common drill.

It was reported to be a 308

IANAHSLDSSOBA (I am not a high-speed, low-drag, secret squirrel operator badass), but I won't be convinced that was intentionally through that monitor. I mean, if I WAS a HSLDSSOBA, that's what I would say in the after action brief, sure. I'm just sayin'.

After standing there for a minute or so aiming he missed his shot but just so happen that miss turned into a shot through the screen, went between the two employees and hit the bad guy in the head?

A win is a win! It don't really matter how it happened, only that it did.
Now if guy needs practice they could use that murderer/child kidnapper that killed that mother and her child yesterday to use for target practice.

Well I'm saying the shooter planned for the shot to go through the monitor. No way it was an accident.

 

[kz45]

Planned? No way! His only option, maybe.
If he planned that, I know what he said right before, ( hold my beer, y’all watch this) lol

If it was his only option then he prepared/planned to take that option. He didn't just set up on that guy's shoulder, close his eyes and hoped for the best.

"Due to the suspect's limited exposure, the sniper took a planned and deliberate shot through a computer monitor, striking the suspect in the center of the forehead, killing him instantly," Lt. Todd Olmer of the Lee County Sheriff's Office explained. He added, "Firing through barriers is a trained and routinely practiced skill by the Lee County Sheriff's Office special operations unit snipers. The .308 caliber bullet used is specifically selected due to its known ballistic reliability traveling through intermediate barriers."
