The rifle is effective at ranges further than the shooter. In every case. That rifle is more than capable of a killing shot from there, and further.
He was 130 m or so away. 5.56 is deadly from further. A lot further.
Every marine qualifies with 5.56 at 500m
Qualifying on a range and hitting a target dead on in a real situation is not the same thing.
I don’t like that this is thrown around like it means anything. You do not need to hit that target to qualify, and you will not be very combat effective at that range anyway. Range quals ≠ combat effectiveness.
