Canadian special forces sniper makes record-breaking 3,540m kill shot in Iraq
« on: June 22, 2017, 05:43:54 PM »
(BB related because I posted a picture of Ray Cutler holding a f**k-off .50cal a few days ago...)

This record has changed hands a few times recently, but this is a massive leap forwards...

A sniper with Canada’s elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,540 metres.  The Canadian Armed Forces confirmed Thursday that a member of Joint Task Force 2 made the record-breaking shot, killing an Islamic State insurgent during an operation in Iraq within the last month.  The elite sniper was using a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle while firing from a high-rise during an operation that took place within the last month in Iraq.

Canada has a reputation among Western military forces for the quality of its snipers, despite the small size of the Canadian Armed Forces compared to the United States and Britain.

Great read for ballistics nerds

"  ....we can estimate that a range of 3,750yds the sniper had to correct his sights and aim off by more than 12 thousand inches to compensate for the drop of his bullet over such a great distance. The bullet was in the air for 9.7 seconds."

If the shot is true, and it really happened, it was pure luck/chance.  He'd need to adjust for around -250 MOA.  Not sure there's a scope capable of that.   :-\

Cool story bro.

So what part of "confirmed kill shot" you didn't understand? "The kill was independently verified by video camera and other data, The Globe and Mail has learned." What do you think there happen? This sniper was hanging around and saw a guy 3540metres (2.3 miles) away, and shot him at the forehead just like in movies? In reality it is different because no one can see a guy 3540metres (2.3 miles) away. In reality there must be a spotter near of the target who tell the shooter where to aim.  Like "Do you see the building with the red car at the front of it? This ISIS Guy is shagging the sheep just at the left corner of it. I start the recording in 5 seconds.." ;D

Surely some redneck on new years has shot a gun into the sky and killed someone from further.

The only Canadian Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are the Elite Special Forces (JTF2).   Canada withdrew their conventional army a few years ago and the F-18 Jets they had there last year.

That's crazy. The lookout/spotter should get just as much credit (if not more).
