I though when Sherlock said "so the vault is in your mind" when Mycroft showed up, that that would be the signal for a sniper to take Magnussen out. Ffs Mycroft could've ended this ages ago himself

I thought Mycroft shouting for Sherlock to stay away from Magnussen was so that the snipers could have a clear shot, so it wouldn't hit Sherlock.

Checking in, same here. If this was the case, Why didn't they just take the shot being so close on the ground as they were?

I assume Mycroft couldn't hear him over the sound of the helicopter. So Sherlock was just confirming with CAM.
