Well it looks like the British are breeding Universal soldier types, because today some more impressive shooting was in the UK news:A British sniper shot dead five Taliban gunmen in just 28 seconds to save the lives of comrades walking into an ambush.
The marksman felled the rebels from more than a mile away as they prepared to attack troops on foot patrol in Afghanistan.
The corporal – whose identity cannot be revealed for security reasons – has killed a record 37 enemy fighters during a four-month tour of duty.

The phones at Accuracy International are likely ringing off the hook lately.
If I were British I’d have done this in reaction to the article:
A British Army sniper has set a new sharpshooting distance record by killing two Taliban machinegunners in Afghanistan from more than a mile away.
Craig Harrison, a member of the Household Cavalry, killed the insurgents with consecutive shots — even though they were 3,000ft beyond the most effective range of his rifle.
The distance to Harrison’s two targets was measured by a GPS system at 8,120ft, or 1.54 miles. The previous record for a sniper kill is 7,972ft, set by a Canadian soldier who shot dead an Al-Qaeda gunman in March 2002.

Very impressive kills. I couldn’t even imagine the adjustments you would have to make at that range, and even the mirage that he must have seen looking through the scope.
Tom Irwin, a director of Accuracy International, the British manufacturer of the L115A3 rifle, said: “It is still fairly accurate beyond 4,921ft, but at that distance luck plays as much of a part as anything.”
If he took shot after shot and EVENTUALLY hit the insurgents I would call it luck. According to the article though, Harrison fired 3 shots. The first 2 hit and killed the insurgents, then the 3rd and final shot he used to disable the machine gun they were using. If that is luck, and not skill, then Harrison is pretty damn lucky.
Anyone know why it took so long for this story to reach the news? According to the article, the record breaking kills happened in November 2009.
I think it’s interesting that the article refers to the caliber of the L115A3 as 8.59 mm , and the caliber of the previous record holder, Canadian Sniper Rob Furlong’s rifle as 12.7 mm. I suppose most of the rest of the world is on the metric system, and they might be familiar with those numbers, but referring to them as .338 Lapua Magnum and .50 BMG in addition would likely have avoided some confusion (here in the U.S. anyway).

Ten years ago, John was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle wreck, leaving him 95 percent blind. While some people may see John’s blindness as a handicap, through these doors he’s just another one of the guys.
John’s pistol is equipped with special sights, and he memorizes the locations of the targets. He’s shot in International Defensive Pistol Association, or IDPA matches, at ranges from Alaska to Ada, Paris, and Sherman, for more than a year.

Good to see that his handicap isn’t stopping him from doing what he loves.
