macelena Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Holy crap! Despite the easy conditions he talked about, it takes a lot of credit given that the ammo he used was quite smaller then those employed in the previous records (12.70, i think). However, I´m not quite an arms expert, but i heard that the rounds of this new record are the best available for snipers.
mdatelmi Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Yes..the previous record was made with a McMillan in .50BMG...this time with a AI in .338 LM. It's a great ammunition for long range sniping.
UK_Widowmaker Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I agree with some of the Comments though. I don't think the media should have published the guys Identity!...it puts him and his family at risk from reprisal
