At 1.30 pm on Sunday 28th April 1996, an unknown professional combat shooter opened fire in the Broad Arrow Cafe at Port Arthur, in Tasmania. In less than a minute 20 people were dead, 19 of them killed with single shots to the head fired from the right hip of the fast-moving shooter.

In less than 30 minutes at six crime scenes, 35 people were shot dead, another 22 injured and 2 cars stopped with a total of 64 bullets. A fast-moving Daihatsu Feroza 4WD driven by Linda White was crippled by a "Beirut Triple"; normally reserved for dead-blocking Islamic terrorists driving primed car bombs around Lebanon.

One sighting shot, a second to disable the driver, and a third to stop the engine before the primed car bomb can hit its target and explode. Very few know this obscure technique, and even fewer can master it with only 3 bullets.

This awesome display of combat marksmanship was blamed on an intellectually impaired young man called Martin Bryant, who had no military or shooting experience at all.
