From The Firearm Blog:
After three days on a rooftop, Scot Cpl. Reynolds and his spotter, Cpl. Hatton, got a 1500 meter one-shot kill on a drug lord in afghanistan.
That right there is a good shot.
Steve points out that this is the longest shot made by a UK Army sniper in Afghanistan. The record long shot in Afghanistan is currently held by a Canadian, Cpl. Furlong, who made his kill at 2430 meters on the second shot.
There should be a medal for marksmen like this.
Oh, and if you ever meet a sniper with a little bit of a superiority complex, it is only because he is.
