Bus A Cap In'em

It was reported today that recently a British soldier picked off two Taliban machine gunners breaking a military sniper distance record.

Craig Harrison, using a British made (L115A3 long range rifle, 8.59 cal. The Silent Assassin)spotted two enemy gunners setting up their gun. Harrison took aim and hit the first one through the midsection. Before the second one could pick up the machine gun Harrison put one through his middle.
The bullet took almost three seconds to reach his targets traveling at 2,093 mph. The distance was 8,120 ft or better than one and a half miles away. These shots break the previous record by 150 ft. set by a Canadian. The distance is 3,120 ft beyond the official range of his weapon.
