Think of all the metal produced from that era.
That MG made it to the top...finally.

Carlos Hathcock is famous for many things, but one of them was for a similar shot with a Browning 50 cal with an optic mounted. He was the first to ever do it, though the shot was not as far. I believe it was well over 1000 yards and was a first round hit on a person transporting weapons on a bike. Moving target.

That was the origination of the 50 BMG round being used by snipers.

EDIT: Just checked and found out it was a 1500 yard shot.

A British sniper could just have the best ever long-range shot in SAS history – with a machine gun no less.

I remember reading about that and also saw a documentary that had that story in it. He wasn't just a great Sniper, he was a great story teller and cocky as hell. I wish I could've met him and shook his hand.

He never knew what hit him for sure! Bullet got ethers before sound! Great shot for sure!

One of you ballistic hounds tell me the velocity of that round at 1.5 miles that would cause a body to "fly into several pieces".

 

[ItBeMe]

That was super.

That’s pure awesomeness
