More than three times the speed of sound? What does that translate into in feet per second?

Nothing finer than the long shot. Kudos to this soldier for such a fine job! I would like to know what optics he was using.

“In a remarkable tour of duty, Harrison cheated death a few weeks later when a Taliban bullet pierced his helmet but was deflected away from his skull. He later broke both arms when his army vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.”

That’s one tough Tommy!
