OK I'm gonna be real interested what the external ballistics people say but *assuming this geolocation checks out*
An average male human head is roughly 6 in / 15 cm wide, at 40 meters that's over 12 MOA/30 mils and change
That's a very makeable shot with a magnified scope

130 yards acc. to NY Post
I wonder if there's weather data available for today nypost.com/2024/07/13/us-…

Even then at 130 yards
6 inches is ~8 minutes of angle
Most commercial ARs and virtually every bolt gun is well under 2 minutes of angle accuracy
That's kind of a big miss

14 kph wind at 4 PM = ~8.4 mph
Assume a 223REM weapon shooting Mk 262 mod 1 using a Sierra 9377 bullet at avg. 2725 fps muzzle velocity
Windage at 125y is 1.28 inches
That's starting to make sense for a missed shot

drop and windage values, for reference
if the weapon is a commercial 7.62x51 NATO /.308 WIN weapon these would be smaller
if ammo is M855 green tip or (I suppose people could be that dumb) M193 55gn they'd be bigger
A miss makes more and more sense

@CadetBoneySpurs the tripods and tripod heads are probably RRS
from the inspection stickers on the scopes I think those are Nighforce ATACR 7-35s

@gunmanfourteen @CadetBoneySpurs I mean, right when you're about to try to do something like that you'd think ATF compliance would be your *last worry*
but maybe this just wasn't well thought-through 🤷♀️
