Agreed.Was it said somewhere that the SS snipers though he was part of a sniper team?
That kid looks nothing like a sniper, I'm sorry, but if they want us to believe that, I just can't. He wasn't dressed for it, he didn't look like the part, he didn't even have the correct type of weapon. Look at the SS sniper guns, clothing, demeanor.. they aren't sliding around on the roof slinking up the back trying to lay flat.. they are up there ready to get after it, in typical police clothing.. no way anyone thought that kid was a sniper part of any team of LE.
The AR-556 Crooks used was a good gun for a 140 yard shot, IMO.
But the SS Snipers looked like they were using AI accuracy international bolt actions in 308 or 300 win mag with Nightforce 5-25x or 7-35x scopes. Deadly 1000 yards+
