If you're aiming center mass with a rifle from a supported position, yeah it really is. Obviously you need to know how to shoot a little but one day of training most could hit a human-size target from 200m decently reliably.

It's not whether we could, it's would you? This man or woman stepped up and took out the trash. Hero in my book.
