Nope, 120 meters is just too far away for an accurate shot. If he was shooting to miss and trump nicked his own ear with a razor blade, he killed a guy on stage. Trump was doing a lot of these rallies and the Secret Service was complaining they didn’t have enough time and resources to sweep the areas around each one. Thomas Crooks was just a very smart neurodivergent kid, and when a rally was held a mile from his home, he saw his chance and took it.
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.
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). 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.
I shot a rifle once in my life, at school, as part of a mandatory process. We had half of hour of training. I hit a target 3 times out of 5 from a hundred meters. That was considered above average results.

You’ve not been around rifles or this is satire? 120m is easy target distance.

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.

Good for you. Those targets are quick and a lot of them run serpentine.
