The AK 47 assault rifle is not exactly a gun one would use for target practice, nor for shooting at someone's head, in an assassination attempt, from about 150 yards distance. We know the alleged shooter had no scope mounted, he was apparently caught with having a range finder in his backpack. A range finder does not provide the accuracy required for such an undertaking.
This type of rifle when converted to automatic is more or less a bullet sprayer, and was often used for mass-killings in different scenarios.
Picture of AK 47 Assault Rifle
"The AK-47 (and its derivatives) is more than accurate enough for war conditions.
If you have been in any war, you should know that in the case of a standard assault rifle, aiming at 500 m will not happen in 99.99% of cases. And if a situation like this even happens (which is highly unlikely) you will not use single but burst fire. Because you're not on the shooting range. You are in a real war situation where you have a lot of variables. With all this adrenaline pumps like crazy.
Even if you had the most accurate assault rifle, your chances of hitting an enemy soldier at 500 m are close to zero in realistic conditions. The only realistic chance is a combined automatic fire of the whole unit. Forget 500, this tactic will be used regularly over 300 m.
And the main point of this fire will not be to kill, but to suppress the enemy. And accuracy is not the point here because you shoot in the general direction. Sufficient accuracy is that you can hit the average house.
Discussions like this are completely pointless. Every assault rifle that is in service anywhere in the world today is accurate enough for what it is intended for, and that is war and not a shooting range.
If
you want accuracy for a shooting range then you take a sport rifle,
because it is intended for this. The assault rifle is a compromise
intended for war. And accuracy in this case you have to look in the
relation to what the assault rifles are intended for." Emphasis added.
You must watch the following video to the very end to witness a revelation that will blow your mind!

Approximate location of killed attendee.
"Mr. Trump was talking about immigration when gunshots first rang out. Alicia Rath, a rally attendee, said that she had crawled over to help Mr. Copenhaver, who was lying high up on the bleachers to Mr. Trump’s left.

This victim died of a head shot wound, as described, on TV, by an ER doctor nearby. Another victim was shot in his gut, as reported. So far, the writer learned nothing about the third victim.
Water tower.

This water tower 450 yards away may have provided a better cover for a possible expert sniper, who should get the credit for two head shots.

Philpot spoke to NBC News' Tom Llamas about what he saw at former President Trump's rally before the assassination attempt and what he believed was a "noticeable" difference in security compared to a previous rally he attended with his daughter.

Two different sound patterns of 3 (?) shots each.
It was reported, the shots were fired from two different distances. It is claimed one set is from about 150 yards, while the other was from about 450 yards, a report indicates after sound analysis. This report may no longer exit on the web.

Thank you for sharing this blog with friends and family. You are helping to overcome the deafening silence from the commercial media on most topics, they just don't want us to know about.
This blog is not monetized, it is strictly produced as a public service.
The Washington Blob FAILED to do a JFK on Donald Trump. That is the failure to the globalist masters, which will not be forgiven. CNN was there to show his brains getting blown out, like the Twin Towers collapsing, but no such thing... They will not last long for that failure.

It looks like an aR-15 variant was used:

Thank you, John. Does any data exit comparing the AK 47 with the aR-15?
Delete"The AK-47 is not as accurate as the AR-15. The accuracy of an AK-47 (16" barrel) is 2-5 MOA, while the AR-15 (16" barrel) is around 1-3 MOA, depending on the barrel installed and fore end provisions for barrel float that eliminate deflections caused by the operator's support and/or sling tension."

Bottom line: the aR-15 can be better or worse than the AK-47, as far as accuracy is concerned. MOA stands for Minute Of Arc.
The fact that some, a distance from Trump, got shot indicates that the gun and/or the shooter lacked accuracy.
