I'm hoping this won't turn into a political bunfight but, just read in the newspaper that a Canadian sniper has recently made the longest confirmed kill in military history by picking off one of the enemy at 2.14 miles with a Mc Milllan TAC-50 rifle.
Apparently, the round took over ten seconds from leaving the muzzle to hitting the target.

Before that shot, the record was 1.54 miles.
Mindboggling !

Rust never sleeps !
