Live camera shots of US snipers taking out Taliban with .50 caliber sniper rifles in Afghanistan. These are some examples of the fight in Afghanistan. These video shots are not made through the shooter’s telescopic sight… they are made looking through the spotter’s scope.The spotter lies right next to the sniper and helps the sniper to find and home in on the target. The sniper is using a 50 caliber rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8 inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself is one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches long. Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban is laying on top of the peak in front of you… when you hear the shot fired… watch what happens. Our sniper is about a half mile away… or more. It is not known if the sniper team is Marine or Army.

This isn't the squirrel killing video again is it?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Hope those targets had due process.

Shiite, that first sucker got closer to achieving orbit than the Nork missile did.

[mountainlion]

I think that is bigger than a 50.

That vid is OLD! And it isn’t AQ or Taliban, it’s groundhogs. Varmints!

[Dr. Ursus]

It did look like a Monty Python skit!

*Snicker*

I had to debunk this one for my Dad about 2 years ago.

That first Talibunny was sent into orbit.

You are correct, I do not know why this is posted again here.

It is an internet Hoax.

[Plutarch]

Live, huh? This video is ancient.

[Notoriously Conservative]

Is it really?

And it isn’t AQ or Taliban, it’s groundhogs. Varmints!

Same difference.

[Mr. Lucky]

You’ve never been groundhog shooting, now have you?

That is some serious fire power. That .5 X 1.5 inch bullet is capable of producing enough power to literally throw a ~170 lb or more adult male like a rag doll up and away.

“This isn’t the squirrel killing video again is it?”

Yup, it is. Can someone post the “Aw geez, not this #### again” post...

[BooBoo1000]

Let's hear it for Ronnie Barrett, inventor of the 50 cal thumper. That Talaben looked like a P-51 taking off. Woof.

[Red Steel]

.50 cal HE round?
