Canadian Snipers in Afghanistan

Video attached - read article first
They never saw it coming.

Canadian Sniper wiping out Taliban Snipers. In Afghanistan . These video
shots are not made through the shooter's telescopic sight. They are made
looking through the spotter's scope. The spotter lies right next to the
sniper and helps the sniper to find and home in on the target.

The sniper is using a 50 calibre rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8 inches
long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself is
one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches long.

Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban is laying on top
of the peak in front of you... when you hear the shot fired....watch what
happens. The sniper is also about a half mile away... or more. A Canadian
sniper in Afghanistan has been confirmed as hitting an enemy soldier at a
range of 2,310 meters (7565 ft/1.43 miles), the longest recorded and
confirmed sniper shot in history. The previous record of 2,250 meters (7369
ft/1.4 miles) was set by US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967.
The Canadian sniper was at an altitude of 8,500 feet and the target, across a
valley, was at 9,000 feet. Canadian sniper units often operated in support of
US infantry units, which were grateful for their help. The record lasted only
one day, until a second Canadian sniper hit an enemy soldier at 2,400 meters
(7860 feet/1.48 miles). The Canadian snipers fire special 50-calibre
McMillan tactical rifles, which are bolt-action weapons with five-round
magazines. The Canadian snipers were the only Canadian troops operating
without helmets or flak jackets as they had too much other equipment to
carry. Each three-man team has one sniper rifle, three standard rifles
Canadian (C7s), one of them with a 203mm grenade launcher.
