How does a country that worries about knife amnesties still produce such great men?

Smart bullets. We need to beef up also. A stuff animal for every kill.

"Corporal Matt Hughes killed an Iraqi gunman from 900 yards with a “wonder shot” in which he aimed 56ft to the left and 35ft high to allow for wind."
Absolute amateur gun guy question: Is this anywhere near real?
To: Brit_Guy
Described by sources as “the best shot in the Army” he is responsible for over five per cent of the 700 insurgents killed by Paras since British forces returned to AfghanistanTalk about a force multiplier.

Amazing.
I have trouble hitting the side of a barn with a .40 caliber H&K from 20 yards.
The barn remains unharmed, BTW.

Good for him. I hope he takes out as many of the islamo facist nazis as he can, one bullet at a time.

His marksmanship is so lethal that rumours have spread like wildfire through insurgents’ camps, causing panic and confusion. Hehehehe... Terrorizing terrorists... I love it!

Nice to see them do this story about one of OUR guys for a change, instead of some Taliban camel-raper missing an eye or hand something.

Let me do the math......700 snipers times 40 targets/team = 2800 dead. Way cool.
To: Brit_Guy
To: Brit_Guy
Earlier this year it was revealed that the Army is creating an elite force of almost 700 snipers, with all 38 infantry battalions required to have an 18-man platoon of sharpshooters by 2008. It will be the first time formal sniper platoons will have existed since the end of the First World War in 1918. Planning for the next (anti-Islamist) civil war.

"In 2003 Royal Marines sniper Corporal Matt Hughes killed an Iraqi gunman from 900 yards with a “wonder shot” in which he aimed 56ft to the left and 35ft high to allow for wind."
Look, I don't doubt for a second that these guys are incredible, but 56 FEET to the left is simply not reality for a 900 yard shot. Assume a sniper bullet can average 3000 ft/sec to target (1000 yards), that means the wind has to blow that bullet 56 ft LEFT in one second??? In that kind of wind there would be so much dust in the air you wouldn't be able to see a house at 900 yards.

". . .so lethal that rumours have spread like wildfire through insurgents’ camps, causing panic and confusion."
Why would one looking forward to matyrdom panic over getting the type of death he was hoping for???? Maybe this was in the leadership section of the insurgent camps . . .
