World Record Confirmed Sniper Shot (New), And It's A Brit
« on: June 23, 2010, 04:40:08 PM »
To paraphrase:  American Rifleman, July 2010, pg. 30

A British Sniper established a new world record for the most distant confirmed kill in combat.
Corporal Of Horse, Craig Harrison, of the House Calvary dispatched two Taliban machine gunners from a distance of:::::

2,707yds.

Using an Accuracy International AWM, L115A3, .338 Lapua Magnum. Nov. 2009.

1 1/2 mile shot in Helmand Province.

Elevation 3,400 feet.
"No Wind, Mild Weather, Clear Visibility".

It beat the Canadian Rob Furlong, at 2,657yds.  Using a McMillan Tac-50.

 :o Can we recruit this Brit, to cover some ground in AZ for us?

WOW!

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [referring to Lee Harvey Oswald and mass murderer Charles Whitman] Do any of you people know where these individuals learned how to shoot?
[Private Joker raises his hand.]
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Joker?
Private Joker: Sir, in the Marines, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will all be able to do the same thing!

Sorry, I just couldn't help it. ;D Seriously, 1 1/2 MILES? Sweet lord. That is just frightening. +1 on sending him to Nogales. Screw the Green Card. Full citizenship and a two star's pay for two years service. Lets see how the cartels like this. ;D

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them
