    Probably fair to assume that the shooter was aiming for center of mass. A stationary person at 180m is pretty easy to hit in the chest, and someone with enough skill/confidence might have opted to aim for the head, but nobody is aiming specifically for the neck. A hit on the neck almost definitely means the shooter was aiming for something else and missed high (or low) by inches in a way that still hit the guy.

      Most training scenarios don’t require you to consider what happens when your target’s head is an anomalous mix of completely empty and indescribably dense. Under the circumstances, the shooter did remarkably well.

      In a purely technical, non-banworthy kind of way, of course.

      Like saying somebody that chooses the winning lotto numbers is a mastermind of picking numbers.

      Until we know more about the shooter, we really don’t know if he was aiming, or if he got lucky.
