Why exactly are we worrying about this?

Hands down, favorite thread of the day. The entire time I'm feeling like Special Agent Smecker from Boondock Saints:

Paul Smecker: These burns indicate that they used silencers. Look at these entry and exit wounds. They're almost identical. The two bullets went in here, through the top of the skull, criss-crossed, and exited through the eyeballs. This one clue tells us three distinct facts. Number one, Duffy?
Detective Duffy: They shot him at a downward angle... They put him on his knees?
Paul Smecker: Excellent! Number two, Greenly?
Detective Greenly: They... shot him at a downward angle?
Paul Smecker: It tells us he was the last to die. And number three, Dolly?
Detective Dolly: Uh... there was two shooters.
Paul Smecker: Fan-frigging-tastic.

It was obviously SCIENCE!!!!

back...and to the left

I am not worring about it. It's just one of those things, that I can't wrap my head around. Every time I see the video, I wunder is it one shooter or 2? If it's just one shooter, how? LOL. It's not a big deal, thought we could have some fun talking about it. Sheesh some people just take the fun out of it.

:fallout:

Han shot first.

the truth is...i shot the robot!! but i didnt shoot the deputy oh no noo!!!

This is why I love these forums.

Its called reading in to much with game commercials.

If it is important we'll learn about it through the game.

ever heard of an indoor range?

if the shooter was far away enough and at a moderately high position(this is easily done by the mojave desert)it would be possible

:lol:

LOL, I was going to say that. It was obviously a magic bullet shot by a single shooter

:clap:

This is near-impossible. The ED-E was travelling at an estimated speed of about 30 MPH (13.4112 Meters Per Second), so between the first and second shot, there was 9 seconds. This means, that the ED-E traveled 120.7008 Meters (396.00000060192 Feet), Therefore, the shooter would have to have perfect accuracy, being able to shoot a target traveling 13.4 Meters Per Second, with a distance of 120.7 meters difference from where shooter was most likely 90 degrees from the ED-E. The angle would be obviously acute depending on the laws of geometry.

My guess is that the shooter was using an aimbot they downloaded, intended for MMOs.

|         ||   O   | shot 1                  shooter 1 (with good accuracy) --- S|    |    | |    |    |  }-120.7 Meters                   |    |    ||    V   ||   O   | shot 2                  shooter 2 (with good accuracy) --- S

Also, the frame after the 2nd shot shows the ED-E zooming into the camera, then briefly showing a part where a character fires a sniper rifle round. Sniper rounds (when brand-new) with a brand-new rifle, (.308 rounds such as in FO3) would hit the ground at 5 miles, and this is in pristine condition. It's probably half of that because the rifles are old and probably in poor condition, so the shooter couldn't have been more than 2.5 miles away. Being this far, and having to shoot a target that is moving 30MPH and is (guessing) 14 inches in diameter, you have to consider the wind direction and speed, roll of the bullet, condition of the rifle, condition of the shooter's cerebral cortex (which controls fine movement), and experience.

The shooter was standing up, therefore the supporting arms were in freehand mode. Nothing was supporting the arm still, so this is hard to believe.

The shooter was also not seen anywhere in the video (otherwise suggesting the clip after the ED-E is hit for the second time. Shooter(s) must have been far away.

I conclude with this being horribly unlikely.

It was an error.

.....Are we seriously arguing over a 4 month old trailer? Oh god, I hate pre-release tensions. :sadvaultboy:

Wow I actually fell dumber having read all the posts on this thread..

No offence everyone.. though thank you Op it did kill a bit of time till the game comes out

well to get a answer we must ask Obsidian!!!
whose with me?

well to get a answer we must ask Obsidian!!!
whose with me?

Definitely a second shooter in the grassy knoll

Ugh, why'd ya have to of all threads out there bump this one. :meh:

And I've only skimmed through it so I'll say same shooter.
