Canadian sniper kills ISIS fighter two miles away

[USFREEDOM911]

I read an article where they're working on a bullet that has identical abilities to some of our missiles.
The target gets "painted" by a spotter and then the bullet hit's the "painted' target.

This allows the shooter to be farther back from the spotter; plus it could allow the spotter to not even be a person.
It could be stationary set up or even some of those new miniature drones they've been working on, like a bee or a beetle.

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

Looking at the chart he shot upwards by a significant angle, like lobbing a basketball.

At that distance, he would have had too.
Even if his target was at a lower position then he was at.

Still; awesome shot and I'll bet that there are some ISIS fighters who aren't sleeping really comfortable, tonight.

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.

At 1500 yards a 660gr bullet from a 50 BMG still has 2000lbs of energy and is traveling at 1150ish feet per second.

Mott left because of arrogant mods like you, that's a fact.

I can't be arsed to look for it but I said it was disgust at arrogant mods like Grind, who gives you preferential treatment, and work pressures.

You did not say "work pressures". You said the Big C

And I do not get preferential treatment. Name one rule I have broken I which I wasn't admonished? Go ahead. I'll wait

I don't wish to discuss this any further, go pick an argument with somebody else. I am leaving now to travel to Ireland for a few days.

what is it at 3200 yards (around 2 miles)?......

The "lob" makes the shot that much more awesome.

It was actually 2.2 miles or over 11,000 ft.

So at 1500 yards it has lost 56% of its velocity and 80% of its energy...

And still has enough to be lethal. A .45, at the muzzle, has about 450lbs of energy and is going roughly 900fps. The. 50BMG remains lethal out to about 7000 yards.

Impact is around 690 FPS
