What if an IPSC guy goes crazy?

You replace John Muhammad, who had qualified as a Expert Rifleman, and his AR-15 with an actual scout sniper and their whole array of toys, and you have a crime spree and reign of terror that can last for months. I suppose the only limiting factor would be the fact that there would only be so few shooters who would have that kind of training, and it wouldn't be too hard to come up with a list of suspects.

Yep that would be a very bad situation. Very bad.

Actually, he only shot Sharpshooter, the step below Expert, but I still get your point.

Thankfully, in the Army at least, the battery of psychological tests one goes through before sniper school is intense.

I finally saw the weapon the Beltway sniper used, and I was shocked to see that the only optic he used was a holographic sight.
