|  longest range recorded for sniper kill
Quote: |
The longest range recorded for sniper kill is 2,430 metres (2,657 yd), accomplished by a Canadian sniper, Corporal Rob Furlong, during the invasion of Afghanistan, using a .50 caliber BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan TAC-50 bolt-action rifle. This meant that the bullet had a flight time of ≈ 4.5 seconds, and a drop of ≈ 70 meters (230 ft).
| That was some shot. You cant imagine waiting all that time for a bullet to hit its target and the chance of the target nipping of for a cuppa
