Super Sniper Kills Taliban 1.5 Miles Away

superb shooting....

Why is his rifle only rated at half the range he shot? Is the weapons effective range listed a "guide" only or is he just uber?

He had perfect conditions as well, I imagine in any other situation, bit of wind, certain elevation etc. he wouldn't have been able to make the shot.

How did they measure the distance call out the Guinness Book of Records team?

EDIT: Ah GPS I didn't see that.

Not one shot, but three. Killed both Taliban with the machine gun and then hit the machine gun with the third.

It was a Soviet era PKM from what i've read, which is smaller than a man.

Very good shooting.
 
Failure to read the article -864 points :p Snipers don't go for the headshots iirc, especially at that range. You go for the chest, largest target to try and maximise the chance to hit. Please correct me if I'm wrong however.

Nah your correct, trained to always go for the largest area. No matter whos shooting what.

Kudos to that guy :D
 
I am very impressed with this given the round used.

Yes, it seems a very small round to do a hit like that, but if true, bloody hell, sharp-shooter or what? I wouldnt have thought a small round would have killing power at that kind of range, but hey, I know pretty much nothing about bullets.
