brett1985 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 love it. full marks to the guy. i especially like this bit: "The same sniper, with his first shot on the tour of duty, killed a Taliban machine-gunner from 1,465 yards (1,340m)." looks like we still have some of the best snipers in the world....

Brad93 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Doesn't the UK currently hold the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill? I know it was Canada a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 out of curiosity what's the flight time on a round over that range? I'm guessing at least a few seconds from bang to BANG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
