A British sniper took out a feared ISIS executioner as he prepared to murder several hostages by shooting a fuel tank on his back and incinerating him.

The SAS marksman fired a single round from his Barrett .50 calibre sniper rifle at the terrorist, who was about to use a flame thrower to kill 12, from 1,500m.

The bullet hit the flame thrower's fuel tank and caused a huge fireball, also killing three other ISIS members who were ready to film the execution.

Reaching out and touching someone sniper style. That is why flamethrowing were not a popular job for grunts.

So these Snipers are now measuring kills per rounds fired in the minus range? Good days work.

That’s a really efficient use of resources.

The article mentions an earlier shot by another British soldier that went through the head of the driver, then lodged in the neck of the passenger, both of whom were going to bomb some area, but both winding up dead.

These British snipers are good at hot dogging it.

I am surprised the SAS is using a Barrett, when a company in their own country makes a more accurate, and much lighter weapon in .338 Lapua.

This is even better than the SAS sniper who blew the head off of an ISIS beheading instructor. Damn, these SAS guys are GOOD!

“was about to use a flame thrower to kill 12, from 1,500m. “

That’s a pretty powerful flamethrower.

The problem with those virgins is they have no open orifices anywhere on their bodies...that’s the hell of it.

Would American media call the sniper a Hero? Not likely.
