    Default Canadian sniper kills ISIS fighter two miles away

    A Canadian sniper has beat the record for the longest confirmed kill in military history by picking off an ISIS fighter from a staggering 11,319 feet.

    The bullet was fired from a McMillan TAC-50 rifle set on a high-rise tower and took 10 seconds to travel the 2.14 miles towards the fighter, who was attacking Iraqi soldiers.

    This smashed the last record set by a Briton Craig Harrison, who killed a Taliban soldier with a 338 Lapua Magnum rifle at a range of 8,120 feet(1.54 miles) in 2009.

    I read this on Drudge this morning. Ten seconds in the air. Terminal velocity must have been incredibly slow.

    Yeah I don't believe that either. The Tac-50
    has a muzzle velocity of over 2600 ft/sec, so it ought to cover a distance of 11,000 ft in a little over four seconds.

    After two miles it's only travelling a small fraction of muzzle velocity. I'm a little surprised the bullet didn't just bounce off the guy.

    He fired from a high-rise tower so I imagine that gravity was a factor. It wouldn't have been possible on the level.
