Snipers on The History Channel

What a great show on modern day snipers. Unbelievable what some guys can do with the right rifle and ammo.

Carlos Hathcocks record was broken in Afghanistan by a Canadian fellow. At least we keep the record in North America.

It was done at high altitude using American ammo at a mile and a half away. lol He ran out of his Canadian ammo after dispatching so many enemy and the Americans gave him some of ours.

The thin air and Superior ammo gave him the edge. His dope was maxed out in order to compensate for multiple windages and elevation plus he was leading the target massively. Took three shots but he got his man.
