If it's any consolation the majority of my military buds are former infantry in the army or special forces in the Airforce and the guys who were just infantry are pretty meh shots with a rifle. The Special forces guys are solid. The major difference between the special forces guys and a guy like me who's hunted most of his life is their ability to snap shots very quickly, their target acquisition is fantastic and their target identification is super fast compared to mine. I've been hunting mainly pigs for well over the last decade now and these guys are quicker at spotting them than I am, faster to the trigger and more likely to be on target with their first shot and they are very good at gauging the distance for adjustments on their zero on the fly.
So there is a chance that unless this guy was Special Forces or really into shooting qualifications and training there is chance he's not much better with a rifle than the average guy strolling around the USA.
Pocket revolver however is the downfall. Enough Gun is the motto.
