Lmao "SnIpEr RiFLe"

That's a standard long gun. No "scope" for long distance use, and some ugly muzzle break on the end. This ain't CoD where he's gonna jump in the air, spin fast, and 1-shot people from other countries, SMH...

H-S Precision Pro 2000 HTR ("heavy tactical rifle") is a bolt-action sniper rifle.

Israeli sniper rifles are made to shoot children in the knee from a 20 meter distance they don't need a scope.

Ok. I see in the Twitter post now the model. Sorry, limited pixels. Still, out of all the military firepower, what's the big deal about this? Are we supposed to know who this guy is?

Edit: Adding that Trump is dirty, so how is this any different? Pawns are pawns, and I've never heard of this group he is in charge of.
