New record sniper shot~

[snow]

Unreal~

[FONT=&quot]The 3,450-meter shot, which took about 10 seconds to reach its target, was independently verified by a video camera and other data, the source said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The prior record was held by a British sniper, Craig Harrison, who in 2009 shot a Taliban gunner from 2,475 meters, or about a mile and a half, away during an operation in Afghanistan.[/FONT]

Good shooting but 10 seconds to get there ? Must have lobbed a 22 LR.

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Must have been shooting his Savage Model 93R 17 loaded with Hornandy V Max 17 grain. #$%^&> ;:;rofl

Yah just a little plinker known as a 50 BMG

amazing is all I got.

Agreed. I just ran it through ballistic calculator with 750 grain Amax with 100 yd zero which resulted in 6,791 inches of drop or 565 ft still had 945 fps. The wind and mirage adds an immense amount of difficulty to the shot.

Nope. He used a Mcmillan Tac-50 cal. The old record I believe was a 338 Lapua.

So the gun would almost be aimed at about a 30* or more angle I am guessing, like shooting at ducks, and hitting a rabbit.

If quick math is right bullet and sound waves get there about the same time , That's unreal

It is tough because they are not shooting run of the mill bullets. I would guess they are shooting some kind of hand turned solids. I don't even know where to start with what velocity they even run in the .50. I would have liked to see the faces of the goat humpers when there buddy got sent to his 72 virgins.

Like my brother told me once after I picked off a flying blackbird with a 22 wheel gun. If you try it enough sooner or later your going to hit one. The next day I bagged a flying pigeon with the same gun. I looked at my brother and said "it was a might bigger" to easy.
