New record for the longest shot made by a military sniper in combat - GoFuckYourself.com

yys · 07-10-2002, 01:41 PM

It seems some of our boys have set new records for taking an enemy target out at a distance of 2,310 meters and 2,400 meters. My cousin who is serving over in Afganistan on a recon plane mentioned something about this to his father a while back but I guess the stories just coming out about it.
Here's a link to the first part of the story with the next part with the confirmed kills coming out next month. Oh btw, they were using American issued bullets for the kills. Ain't them .50 cal rifles something else.

Awesome!!!

Theo · 07-10-2002, 02:02 PM

the max shots i had in army was up to 1200m with no eye focusing help. This distance is huge, the target looks like it's on another planet....now imagine 2300m
In reality with not the capable equipment is near impossible to hit the target in such distances, but this way they can find the very few selective that will go further. Of course I wasn't one of them.

Yep we are so proud that we are part of a shadowy non democratic conflict conducted completely without modern legal principle.

I can remember after 911 there was a lot of talk about not letting the terrorists reduce us to their levels...Well we have a camp full of persons unknown held without legal rights in Cuba, and we are wasting others for standing in the wrong place far out of sight in Afghanistan. This is making China look good.

It is completely un-American (or Canadian) to deprive a person of their rights to this extent regardless of what they may be involved in. We must get the bad guys...but not become worse
then our enemies in the process.

wsjb78 · 07-10-2002, 02:06 PM

I'm even happy if I hit at 5m with my full-automatic assault rifle...

Homegrownvideo · 07-10-2002, 02:06 PM

Damn! that's crazy.

Don't mess with Canada!

With my eyesite I'm thankful for auto focus.

2,400 metres, that's so far away. A mile and a quarter.

The Afgan prisoners in Cuba deserve whats coming to them. They were fighting against us. We had warned Afghanistan about their terrorist camps long ago. Well they let it bite them in the ass when the terrorist attacked us. What do you think we should do, nothing. Let them organize all they want for further attacks. If you feel this way I hope someoneclose to you dies at the hands of terrorists. Then you may see the light. Sometimes we have to be the bad guy in order to protect ourselves. So be it and thank God I'm an American. Shit they want to kill anyone who is not Muslim. FUCK THEM.

jimmyf · 07-10-2002, 04:16 PM

I fired the M14 at 700 yards NO scope and the (believe it's 1 foot)bulls eye is a tiny tiny spec.. At 2,310 meters and 2,400 shit they must have some very nice scopes.

Keev · 07-10-2002, 04:22 PM

So why do we need to send a army after saddam just put a couple guys half as good as him and snipe his ass of they can...

I am sure we have some operatives over there

So are so fucking naive, it's unbelievable

Try doing a bit of research...

And that 'traitor' comment. Fuck me ... they've got you brainwashed real good, and it only took a few months. American politics is the new face of communism.

Think about it.
