A British Special Air Service (SAS) sniper took out two Islamic State bombers with a single shot, saving hundreds of lives in the process.

The SAS sniper took his shot from just over half a mile away, killing the terrorist driver in a split second. But the story doesn’t end there. The bullet passed through the driver’s head and also hit his accomplice in the neck — an incredible feat, given these two targets were moving.

Yup. After hearing the fusillade by the cops towards the end of the non moose limb related incident, I’m wondering how many of the deceased are due to friendly fire. Will the results of the autopsies ever be released to the public? Probably not.

Do they have on site barristers to approve the shot?

One wouldn't think one would be needed LOL.

FIRE AT WILL MEN!!!! The ONLY good muzzie is one who's head has gone AWOL due to contact with a projectile from a rifle barrel.

Well, there’s your mistake. A muzzie’s head contains no vital organs.

> Yeah...it’s just the UK version of budget cuts...every bullet has to hit at least 2 of the enemy.....

Sounds like the Pancho Villa execution method.
Villa’s men were always low on ammo, so when they executed Federals, he would line them up single file in groups of three. One bullet would then kill three of the Federals.

Don’t you mean “Die, misguided youts with no job opportunities”?

And no access to good health-care options.
