First off, this is simply outstanding! Great shooting with a happy outcome!

Next off though...

He requested permission to fire from his superiors - a battlefield requirement if the enemy had not yet opened fire - and was given the 'weapons free' order.

He's chained to the staff weenies.

The US has some incredible sniper stories, too. Unfortunately, if they were told, it would put their families at risk here from enemy cells, so mums the word. Good shooting from this soldier and I hope his family stays safe.

Incredible!

Just one kill shot at that range is awesome!

Good work corporal!

“Rifles are inanimate objects that have no will of their own. As such, they may be used by evil men for evil purposes. While an evil man may not be persuaded by propaganda, he may certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.” — Col. Jeff Cooper

A good old fashioned "mad minute" drill, except that it was real. Nice shooting, soldier.

From that distance, did the enemy even realize they were being shot until it was too late?

Nice shooting, indeed! However, the term: “Taliban soldier” rankles.

Five shots magazine on that rifle... Five Talibunnies down, a mile out... Doubt he had time to reload in those 28 seconds...

Impressive!

Unbelievable. Bolt Action, 338 Lupua with a 3x12 scope. Even at 12 power the targets would be pretty small at a mile. Factor in wind, gravity, temperature, rotation of the earth, etc. and that’s incredible shooting.

Wow...The Brits are producing some of the finest snipers in the world. This is the second shooting, the first, was reported over the weekend and he took out 2 at 1.5 miles. Using the same rifle...! I’d love to see one of those rifles..(love to own one)
