Probably. I wasn’t a sniper, but I consistently qualified Expert in the Army. The shooter was at 200m; Army qualifications include hitting targets out to 300m, with limited time. So, yeah, I think I’d have done better.
I certainly would have chosen a different rifle than an AR15 for sniper work. I’d have picked .308 or .30-06 - both of which are extremely common hunting rifles - decent sights, and a good zero. And take the body shot: the guy’s twice as big as one of the Army pop-up qualification targets, a head shot is way harder.
