Brit Sniper Kicks Some Serious Taliban Ass

Corporal Harrison reaches out... 1.5 mi with 338 Lapua.

Yes. A new distance record. I think the drop was a bit more than 6 feet and 20 inches of wind drift. Check- http://www.snipercentral.com/338.htm

Wow, I am sitting in awe of that story.

Not only did he achieve multiple kills at beyond the effective range of his weapon but he cheated death twice to return to the frontlines.

Definitely going to have some drinks be bought for him.

Yeah... probably quite a bit more- maybe the 6ft/20in was really additional "Kentucky Windage?" (At what range do the adjustments on the weapon max out?)

I like the reader comments ("Bloody brilliant..." "Fantastic shot...").

A 35 year old corporal with record sniper kills, who returned to the front lines after an IED attack and two broken arms. The least they can do is make the dude a sergeant.

He's a "corporal of horse" or something like that. It's the same as a sergeant.

^^... and their Sergeant rank is higher in equivilency than ours, he'd equate to a SSgt/GySgt.
