Brit Sniper Sets a Record: Five Dead in 28 Seconds
2010-05-08
Rifles firing the Lapua round are carving a niche in the gunnery world it seems.

Rewriting the lead...

A British soldier killed five Taliban springing an ambush on his comrades in arms in 28 seconds from more than a mile away.

#5  Requesting permission to shoot - needed because the British had not yet been attacked - the corporal made sure the rebel leader was in the crosshairs of his sights.

If I understand well the ROE, this sharpshooter will get 2 medals.

1 for "NATO's medal for restrain" and
1 for his feat!

#3  If there was any justice, this British soldier would never have to buy his own beer for the rest of his (hopefully very long) life.
