Correct me if I’m wrong.

If it takes 3 seconds to travel the 1.5 miles that bullet will fall many feet due to the force of gravity. The applicable formula is:

S = .5 * g * t *t

Where
g = 32.2 feet per second per second
t = 3 seconds

This gives a total drop of about 58 feet!

Compensate for that sometime you wannabe sharpshooters.

Here is a link to the full article. American Thinker's blog post is, as usual, just an excerpt.

That’s incredible!

I just did my first shooting at 1000 yds, using a friend’s rifle that was already sighted in and ready to go. It’s just amazing even at that distance! Hard to imagine 1.5 miles!

"So, on the other side, it was also friends helping friends? ISIS being helped by Russia? Costing lives on our side. I suppose the Russians can claim this was a black market purchase."

I suppose they can.

Everyone acting like that’s a big deal. An A-10 pilot routinely makes kills at that distance.

>>hit the Iraqi in the throat as he left a burned-out building.

1.5 miles away AND a moving target AND precise enough to hit him in the throat. Impressive... most impressive.

Hey are there any history channel specials on this stuff? I saw the one about the kills zones and the Vietnam river crossing but I haven’t been able to find any other ones.
