Sniper Killes Quada from 1 1/2 mles away

[JohnC]

It was silent but deadly.

A British sniper set a world sharpshooting record by taking out two Taliban soldiers in Afghanistan from more than a mile and a half away -- a distance so great, experts say the terrorists wouldn't have even heard the shots.

Craig Harrison killed the two insurgents from an astounding distance of 8,120 feet -- or 1.54 miles -- in Helmand Province last November firing an Accuracy International L11583 long-range rifle.

"The first round hit a machine-gunner in the stomach and killed him outright," said Harrison, a corporal of horse in the British Army's Household Cavalry, the equivalent of a sergeant in the American military.

It's actually a L115A3, or a AWSM .338 Lapua.

Too bad neither of those Taliban was Gecko45! His patented duct taped double trauma plate could defeat the Lapua!

one maybe. 2 rounds would be doubtful.

As "Zombieland" tells us to ensure survival. Rule #2: The Double tap.

Sounds like some beautiful shooting.

<sigh> 3 spelling errors in a 6 word (+1 number) title must be an equally impressive record. Unless Quada is some terrorist I haven't heard of. Call me a spelling nazi, whatever, but come on...

I normally try to turn off the grammar side of my brain when I am on forums, but you are spot on with this one. Sadly, if you look at any youtube comment section, this record will be beaten handily.
