  • Canadian sniper breaks world record for longest confirmed kill shot in history


  • #2
    Also known as a typical afternoon of target practice for SVO.

      A sniper from the Canadian special forces working with Joint Task Force 2 in Iraq just obliterated all standing records for a long-distance confirmed kill. The soldier took out an ISIS jihadi from an astonishing 3540 meters away—that's nearly 2.25 miles.
      Canada's Globe and Mail quoted a military source who said the incredible shot "disrupted a Daesh [Islamic State] attack on Iraqi security forces." It was also preferable in this instance to a bomb which might kill civilians as well. The sniper used a "a very precise application of force and because it was so far way, the bad guys didn't have a clue what was happening," the source said.

      A separate source told the paper that this amazing hit was no pumped-up brag from the field, but verified by "hard data."
      "It isn't an opinion. It isn't an approximation," said the other source, "There is a second location with eyes on with all the right equipment to capture exactly what the shot was."
      Some in the military indicated a belief that this is an unbreakable record. After all, the previous record-holder was a British sniper who took out a member of the Taliban from just over a mile-and-a-half away.
      As the Globe and Mail noted, the longest shot ever made by an American sniper was a 1.4 mile kill by Sgt. Bryan Kremer in 2004.
      No one wants to go to war, but if we have to, sounds like the snipers in western military organizations are only getting better and better. And from more than two miles away, the enemy will never know what hit them.

        Rifle (McMillan Tac 50) made stateside and likely feed U.S. ammo.

          2.1 miles with a 50 caliber isn't that incredible for a sniper but damn that's far

            When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out. It was a rifle shot in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at.

            Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

            You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                Multi-second time to target, isnt it?

                Pretty impressive confirmed kill.

                  The article from my link said just under 10 seconds from the time the trigger was pulled until impact.

                            Your definition of incredible must also be what's impossible then.
