This sniper probably used to fill his deer permit without ever leaving the balcony of his downtown Toronto apartment, eh!

[Joe Miner]

LOL, and he got his ISIS head without having to even smell him.

[Lopeover]

Gosh, those Canadians can shoot! Is he as good as Kris Kyle?

[cpdiii]

He used a rifle and scope that cost about the price of a Cadillac. He had a spotter of extreme skill and perhaps a bit of gods hand in guiding the bullet.

Good shooting Mr. Canuck.

[BradyLS]

Wonder if they ever heard the report of the rifle?

[RC one]

So many factors come into play at that distance, variable wind speeds and directions, the up or down angle of the shot, the rotation of the earth, the bullets spin drift, the air pressure, air temperature, the temperature of your gun powde, humidity, lot to lot inconsistencies in your gun powder, cases, bullets, primers, etc, a clean bore vs a fouled bore. Everything matters at that distance.

I wonder how far the shots were that killed folks at the University of Texas in 1966? Not just in length but factoring the distance downward from the Tower? He was picking off people that were literally blocks away.

[Vendome]

He fired 312 inches up and 37 inches left?

This was posted several times a month or so ago.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Redcoat. So Canada has decided to remind us.

[anton]

I thought Mark Wahlberg held the record?

[Paul R.]

Dang! And I was congratulating myself on 4 “hits” in a row, first try, on an old repellent can @ 30 ft., when I tried out my new 4” barrel CO2 BB pistol!

I’m glad this guy (and weapon) are on our side.

(I’ll bet I can’t do it again!!)

2.2 miles = 2.2 x 5,280 (feet in a mile) = 11,616 feet

For a "visual", that's very nearly NINE(9) Empire State Buildings!

ESB: height to tip of antenna: 1,454 feet

11,616 divided by 1,454 = 7.9889

[ETL]

"Shooting experts say the fatal shot at a world-record distance of 11,316 feet underscores how stunningly sophisticated military snipers are becoming."

Ok, then. So make that 11,316 divided by 1,454 (height of ESB) = 7.7 Empire State Buildings

[exPBRrat]

I just wished they’d keep this on the... downlow.

[Covenantor]

My Mildot Master is so old school.

[Caipirabob]

Oh.... Canada!

[Gay State Conservative]

I wonder if physicists have ever studied claims of this sort.

[Awgie]

(BANG! 1...2...3), “Ahmed! Ahmed! You have no head!”

[Rebelbase]

"The new record was set using a McMillan TAC-50, a .50-caliber weapon and the largest shoulder-fired firearm in existence."

Not exactly.
