    Assessment is a big deal among elite troops; the most highly professional are tasked with being extremely careful about killing the right people and not the wrong people.

    Yeah I don't give two shits what weapon he was using and his peers can assess his shooting proficiency. That was badass no matter how you look at it.

    I called it the Sir John Wickenshire - Because I assume that John Wick is actually based on our mystery SAS Officer.

    Guess what drill we're doing next time me and the guys go shooting!
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    If you wanna have some real fun - attach some tannerite to the targets to pump up the stakes.

    Don't miss or pop goes the weasel.

    I lean toward the time being journalistic license. He may have shot five guys in three seconds, or two minutes. Doesn't really matter, it's a good day out either way.

    Twenty-seven posts and two news articles and no-one has referred to the SAS as "the Regiment?"

    The real question to ask is...does our mystery officer know what color the boat house is at Hereford?
