True, but we can extrapolate to a certain extent.

I measured myself this morning, and from my CoM to my throat is a full foot – missing by that much at >200 yards with a scoped rifle is pretty much "you shouldn't be handling a gun" ineptness.

The measurement from my temple to my throat is around 4 inches, which while still not great, is an understandable miss for someone who at least knows how to line up the crosshairs and shoot…my money still says "headshot gone wrong".

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
