Setanta, any above-average marksman in the Australian army can hit a target at a distance of 1km with ease, using modern sniper rifles. What you learn in the field is how to make sure that one shot is all you need for effect.
When I read up about that Lindt Cafe siege, some years ago, I wondered why the gunman was not shot in the head by any of the officers there. A month later, the truth came out that the Lindt Cafe was chosen because one of the managers there was being threatened by Monis' associates. That is why he volunteered to stay behind.
Imagine if UnSubRocky, with his know-it-all personality style was in Sydney at the time. If I walked (snuck) up to Monis and shot the fffekker in the face, not only would Monis be dead, so too would the manager's extended relatives. That is why the police could not issue an order to shoot the culprit. That is why you don't let the media get information about the victims until after the siege is resolved.
It is all about understanding psychology, physics, endurance, and weather events. The reason why I am still single and only casually dating people my age is because my 20s were caught up trying to undo the problems that drug dealers and drug use had on Rockhampton society. I forfeited marriage and the chance of having a legitimate family, all because my parents had this stupid idea that all my problems would be solved if I was constantly medicated.
I'm so glad that I am OCD and not ASP. I would be dead, otherwise.
