I didn't hear anything suggesting he used irons, that'd be a very odd choice. Most modern ARs don't come with irons or an optic and you can get red dots much better than just irons for under $200.

And irons would decidedly be harder but 100 yards still is very achievable by a novice who follows fundamentals.

    Sorry, in this case I’m referring to no magnification. Your right that’s there’s a bunch of things that could be sights without it being irons.

    The photos and media speculation seem to suggest that there wasn’t a scope.

    I still don’t think this is as easy as people make it out to be. Yes, a novice could put a tight grouping downrange - but could they do that on their first shot, on a hot metal roof, with adrenaline pumping.

    I know it typically takes me a few rounds at the range to get dialed in.
