Simultaneous shots are way harder than that. Ask the US Navy SEALs.
I'm not even clear on who fired the killing shot yet. I don't even know if it was the snipers on the roof that could be seen in the same frame as Trump. It might have been other snipers.
I'm talking about the officer who is alleged to have climbed up the ladder and then retreat after having Crooks aim a gun at him, directly prior to shooting at Trump.
If that's true, it raises serious doubts for me because in my opinion it makes Crooks' alleged shot really good under those circumstances. If that's what happened, I don't think he would be capable of that shot.
But, yeah, just to be clear, I'm not saying there was definitely a second shooter (and I'm not really buying the water tower theory, the more I think about it), just that there might have been, and it would explain some things.
It seems totally doable to have an automated sniper gun for this kind of fixed target.
Set it up, give it the wind speed and range, and it makes the perfect shot at any time without concern for breathing or heartbeat. Have the automated trigger shoot when the patsy shoots. Even much farther away the bullet will go faster than reaction time.
How would clandestine groups not have something like this? It seems so obvious. One that can track somebody in a motorcade or moving around, that might be too big and clumsy to deploy but something that can take a perfect fixed shot?
Smarter Every Day has made this kind of thing in their garage to show bullets hitting each other and other stuff like that.
It's wildly fucking difficult because it can't make the perfect shot each time. Talk to any sniper about how much you have to know about the temperature of your gun, the air, the terrain, humidity, the Coriolis Effect, and more. Bullets fire in a cone of fire. The further away you are, the larger the cone becomes.
An automated trigger? Bullets are fast. That electrical signal better not have any interference... on a metal roof.
These are spectacularly awful ideas that lead to a level of complexity that is astronomically impractical. Normally bribes are a lot easier and cheaper. There is literally no reason to go full "Shooter" when you can groom a retard and bribe a cop having a custody battle.
There's a reason we just used a bomb on that Iranian General.
In other words, things that are easily measured and quantified. Like you think a human can factor in the rotation of the earth better than something that knows the position down to the inch and angle to the arcsecond?
There's no feat of skill that a machine can't be made to do better than a person. The only question is if somebody has reason to make it.
You're being totally irrational. Cell towers 50 miles away can get signal through a metal roof transmitted with milliwatts of power. What an insane cope.
Because we didn't have anybody a few hundred meters away? Jesus you're like triggered for some reason. I don't know why, but slow your breathing and think for a few seconds.
You have to build the machine, and you have to tune the machine with a gun. It's a lot of work and a lot of testing. Or, you could just give a cop $5,000 to look away.
Cell towers are even worse to try and use for a communication signal. The timing is never going to be reliable! Wi-fi is even worse because, holy shit, concrete and rebar can stop that easy.
Yes, I'm triggered that you would be silly enough to suggest synchronous fire from simultaneous shooters; or worse: drone snipers.
That is Hollywood crap that only creates added unnecessary risk and complexity.
