I’ve been wanting to make a post about this for a while, even though I might be the only person invested in this, but anyway, here we go.

I’ve seen mentioned several times, in posts about the movie and in fics that the Winter Soldier shot Nick Fury through the window of Steve’s apartment, and every time it makes me groan in frustration because no.

The Winter Soldier didn’t shoot Fury through a window, he shot him through a wall, and I don’t know about you, but it seems like a pretty big difference to me.

(bullet hole in the wall!!)

When I saw the scene the first time, I remember thinking holy shit??? that’s crazy, and for me that’s when the Winter Soldier really became a real, terrifyingly good assassin, that’s when his image as a serious threat solidified.

Ok, my interpretation of this scene was pretty close to yours.  

1. Steve moves to the corner and spots Fury, who is sitting in the chair

2. Steve moves away from the corner; Winter Soldier can now see him through that one window

(Side note: Steve’s apartment has a lot of windows)

3. Fury stands up; the Winter Soldier watches Steve’s eyes go from looking slightly down to looking at something eye level 

4. The Winter Soldier quickly moves so that he’s in line with Steve’s line of sight; he doesn’t know exactly where Fury is, but he knows he’s somewhere on that line

The Winter Soldier shoots along said line, hitting Fury, then runs back to his initial position to see how Steve reacts and possibly confirm the kill.  Then Steve spots him through the window.  

Based on this, Bucky must have really good spatial reasoning and very precise estimation of distances and angles.  Also he can possibly do trig in his head.  

I LOVE YOU.
GUYS, LOOK. SOMEONE DREW A EXPLICATIVE CHART THINGIE AND IT IS AWESOME.
I hadn’t considered the Soldier moving before making his shot, but there’s no way to know, given that we only see him when Steve does, so it’s possible. I also really like the idea of the Soldier being able to do trig in his head and having really good spatial reasoning and very precise estimation of distances and angles, because I like everything that means he is very very good at being an assassin.

His memorial says he was an excellent student, so he must be doing trig in his head. I love posts like this.
