VermontHunter Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Re: longest confirmed kill is a by a Canadian [ QUOTE ] He was in Afganistan and it was either, I think, 3200 or 3700 yards. [/ QUOTE ] The longest-ever confirmed sniper kill was made by Master Cpl. Arron Perry of the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan during combat in 2003. Using a .50-caliber MacMillan TAC-50 rifle, Perry shot and killed an Afghan soldier from a distance of 2,430 metres. The record was set during Operation Anaconda when a Canadian three-man sniper team from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, (PPCLI), set the new record with a shot on a Taliban fighter That's about 1.5 miles That, my friends, is a truly amazing feat. The bullet was in the air for four seconds and dropped 146 feet. About 250 meters longer than Carlos Hathcock's famous shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
