What a Beautiful Love Story!

RECORD-BREAKING CANADIAN SNIPER KILLS ISIS FIGHTER WITH TWO-MILE SHOT

(Newsweek)

A member of Canada’s Joint Task Force 2—part of the U.S.-led coalition that is taking the fight to ISIS in Iraq—made the kill during an operation that took place within the last month in Iraq, sources told The Globe and Mail. The identity of the sniper and his observer was kept anonymous for operational security reasons.

The sniper used a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle—the standard long-range sniper of the Canadian military—and fired the shot from a high-rise building in an undisclosed location. Firing from such a distance, the shooter would have had to account for wind; the round dropping as it was fired from a higher location; and even the curvature of the earth.


To which I wish to add...

ALLAHU AKBAR! Heh-heh-heh-heh. Oh, I am such an asshole. Yes, I am.
