That reminds me! The experience I have had with sniper guns may actually support the theory I have seen in this thread about "Mr. Shiney Shoes" not being the individual with the gun after all! Follow my logic:
The power of a sniper would rip apart the camera, whether it was hand-held, or a small device on a pair of sunglasses, etc. A few cracks is not plausible, (although the creators do not allow reality to get in the way of proceeding with their dear series as we have already seen). Therefore, the bullet couldn't have hit the camera.
For a lens to crack without being directly affected by the bullet, the distance that the bullet traveled must be more than what most are considering in this thread. When I have handeled a sniper, the farther the target, the more shreaded up/ torn apart it is afterwards. My uncle hit a stuffed dummie in the head from about 600 yards and the head nearly exploded! Erm, sorry for any disturbing visual images there.
Whoever shot the individual who was pursuing Bree would not be dressed in such a fashion as "Mr. Shiney Shoes" was. It is not pratical. I know some of you have talked about "killing in style" but c'mon now! They were in the middle of the Nevada desert! A person creeping around with a sniper gun with the intent of killing others would not be so obvious nor would he/she be so inpratical- It is not appropriate dress for that environment. Think about it.
I am about to conclude with just as much speculation as the rest of you, however, with a bit more logic than some. The person who shot the gun is not seen in this video. This individual was much farther away. "Mr. Shiney Shoes" must be another man who was pursuing Bree. This may explain how the video was uploaded. It does not explain the random keys that were hit in the description of the video, (if they were random).
I want to add one important thing that none of us should forget: This series is fictional and there are countless times when we must suspend rationality in order to accept the events that take place. Why would a video that was private among members of the Order be edited and spliced with music and other affects? And why would it be so unclear about who was involved? That is what it comes down to, really. I may have a good idea of what happened but perhaps you do as well. We will never know because the creators tell us nothing. However, we shouldn't get too caught up because the basic formula for these videos is already fraught with inconsistencies and flaws. End of story.
Damn, that is long post! Sorry!
