For the technically minded:

"Most of the kills were at a range of 1,200 metres using the 7.62 mm L96 sniper rifle."

I fully support this type of gun control.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Nice.

[Conservative4Ever]

Excellent work, gentlemen.

Wipe out the Taliban

Even Better: "Serjeant Potter and Rifleman Osmond are identified by pseudonyms for security reasons."

[thesearethetimes...]

Nods. Had to read that aloud to the DH, who is a huge Sharpe’s Rifles fan. Got to love those Green Jackets.

Thank you Lord, for good men like (Harry) Potter and (Donny) Osmand.

May God bless them, every one.

Nothing like naming the snipers, why don’t they put their address and phone number on the article so that their enemies can find them easily.

[umgud]

I applaud their work, but I question the logic about a high profile story publishing their names and their actions. Don’t forget that there are more muzzies back home who cn read this stuff.

"It’s a lever-action, breech loader. Usual barrel length’s thirty inches. This one has an extra four. It’s converted to use a special forty-five caliber, hundred and ten grain metal cartridge, with a five-hundred and forty grain paper-patched bullet. It’s fitted with double set triggers, and a Vernier sight. It’s marked up to twelve-hundred yards. This one shoots a mite further." —Matthew Quigley Three fully functional .45-110 rifles—matching the above description—were built for the film in 1989 by the Shiloh Rifle Co. of Big Timber, Montana. They also had a 15 1⁄4 inch length of pull to fit Sellek's tall frame, a full octagon heavy barrel with a blue finish, and weighed 13 1⁄2 pounds. After the filming concluded, Selleck kept all three rifles, and had two of them reconditioned by Shiloh Rifle Co. In 2006, Selleck donated one of the rifles used in filming to the NRA for a fundraising raffle. In March 2008, the same rifle sold for $69,000 through the James D. Julia auction house.

I wonder what the history of the green jackets is. I recall (Major?) Ferguson during the Revolution, armed his men with Ferguson Rifles and had them wear green coats. I think he called his men Jaegers which I think is German for hunter.

He was killed by American Scotch-Irish backwoodsmen at Kings Mountain. He was the only one they gave an honorable burial to. I just saw that on TV today.
