To nick the ear of a man moving around? Bullshit. If he was trying to miss, he should have aimed for the dirt instead of hitting a bystander. It’s exactly what it looks like, he was trying to kill Trump and missed.
I have to hunt sort of professionally. The optimal target area for roe deer is roughly the size of a human head and easily doable at that distance with a little training.
The rest I agree with. He might also have been an exceptionally good shooter, but judged by how that ear „healed“, I’d agree with you.
Nobody is a good enough shooter with a cheapo AR to reliably hit an ear at that range. It’s probably a 2-3MOA barrel at 100 meters, so you’re looking at like a 2.5-4" spread with the world’s best marksman and match-grade ammo.
You forget that Americans don’t need training to buy a gun. And cleaning guns isn’t something you see in most gun YouTube videos. Nobody I’ve talked to, who’s been trained on that rifle would have missed that shot. And I’ve talked to a few.
I know young teens who went from never having fired a gun before, to consistently putting kill shots in a torso shaped target at 300m with a Diemaco c7 (an ar15 manufactured by colt canada) with only a few warmup shots. If you had done just the most basic of training and maintenance, then you should be able to put at least a single round center mass.
Either it was a result of American gun culture, or it was fake.
You’ve not been around rifles or this is satire? 120m is easy target distance.

Whether it’s easy or not, Trump is too much of a coward to approve this plan if it involved someone actually shooting him.
Im saying he was exceptionally skilled to miss just so slightly that it looked real. Hitting a bystander just makes it more real.
120 meters is easy against a paper target with low stress. Someone making a speech moves their head more than you think.
That being said, I think the poster is saying that it’s an impossible shot f they were aiming for the ear.
However, faking the ear injury would be easy, and shooting a bystander in the audience is a bonus.

Do we know it’s been a cheap ar ?
It was a DPMS A-15. He could gave bought a nicer barrel than what comes stock, but I doubt it.
