From SEAL Team 10 to DEVGRU - Cole Fackler Speaks Out
"We were coming up on this village and a guy was running kind of laterally at us with an AK and a chest rack. I just ended up getting the first shot off. I always attributed this one to skeet shooting. Because I was leading them. It was one shot. The head. I will say that was luck. 50 yards. Night vision, shitty lasers."
A SEAL Team 10 operator recounts his first combat kill, describing how he shot a moving enemy combatant in the head at 50 yards at night with an M4 rifle. He attributes the successful shot to skeet shooting experience with his father, leading the target as it moved laterally. The operator acknowledges luck played a role in the precision headshot under low-light conditions with inferior laser equipment.
