it was an interesting insight and that's all , it also uncloaks the often mis held belief of super shooting ability . Now as I mentioned before take a range shooter out of the range it "can" but not defiantly change their hit rate --add some pressure it surly would drop their hit rate more . All these factors recognized allow a shooter to practice differently to become a better shooter.

what exactly do you get sick of Neckshot?

Snipers hunt men who are armed to the teeth and trained to kill, and are often dug in and hiding. Just like normal hunters, they only need to be accurate enough. Still, the long distance feats that we are all aware of in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrate that they are expert marksmen in punishing environments. That is the clear distinction.

Guess its like comparing drone pilots to real fighter pilots.

These examples are very few and t those ranges they have no return fire pressure -bullets travel longer also with less air density

Think they were just seeing how often the best of the best missed so they could build some type of self aiming dohickey and accidentally showed that competitive shooters were better shots than Snipers

Doesn't really mean shit as both are experts in their chosen fields so there is really no competiton.

Be good to see a LR or HP guy belly crawl 2 km carrying their kit then take good shots haha
