Thread: Longest confirmed kill @ 3.450km

wow, ten second flight time,,,
any (retired--) snipers out there want to explain how this was done?

If they told you they'd probably have to kill you, It was 3450 metres , but the kilometres thing definitely got my interest, pretty incredible, wonder if there is coriolis calculations required

anything over about 1200, needs to have it taken into consideration from memory.

3,450m = Lucky Shot

Your not far off honestly,from that distance a breath of wind would cause a miss. Pat

A speck of sand could probably do the same.

The shooter would have done all his calculations and took his best shot But I imagine that he would have been shocked to have actually hit the target.
I hit a fox once at about 800m with my .243, I think that I got as much of a surprise as the fox did when I actually hit it.
