Let's say the plot was good, Lil Ryan had that swagger, abd the pieces fit...? Cool good job, I'm watching episode 2...BUT

Mahky Mahk falls short on this twist. Here's the resins why this doesn't fly...
1. Any gun nut knows if you live on the coast, your guns rifles aren't on a wall, or in a locket sitting there waiting to rust. -10 points for moron.
2. His wife tells him to "dope his scope" yeah ok I don't knkw any miItaly or leo who brings the "slow is smooth smooth is fast" home to share with wifey...just doesn't happen ever..-50 points
3. Ryan Philip is as beliveable a sniper as caitlyn jenner...much less a rear echelon desk jockey.
Sorry buddy you do cut it, from the .338 lapua magnum talk...to the bsm .223 won't kill anything bigger than a squirrel? -100
This one's a dead duck.
...remember stay low, move fast kill first die last one shot one kill no luck...all skill. Poseur

4. If you put your kid to sleep with war stories, you're no cool hero dad, but a psycho raising a psycho.

...I never shared anything outside the brothers who I worked with. Family and work are always checked at the door...bedtime stories about Ramadi, Khandahar and the sandbox are just something soldiers and military personell don't do...just doesn't happen EVER.

Talking to an infant that doesn't understand you - I get. Sharing with a grown child - I get. But this is mental in this day and age. Especially coming from a sniper who, compared to an average soldier, IS certain if he'd killed someone.

Not to mention very out-of-character for Hunter's BLS. He was much more confident & much less effusive that this one.

Yea, I found it odd that there was all this "work" discussion when he was home. It's not every day you see a dudes wife bro down with him and speak the lingo.

I'm hoping it was some of that eff it logic put in to the pilot.
