>A sniper with Canada's elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,450 metres.
>Sources say a member of Joint Task Force 2 killed an Islamic State insurgent with a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle while firing from a high-rise during an operation that took place within the last month in Iraq. It took under 10 seconds to hit the target.

Get fucked mates, canada is number one. We may not have a big army, but its a higly skilled one

>Iraq
why do they have to go to Iraq to shoot islamists when Canada's full of them? just today one of them went south of border and stabbed a US cop.
>>34327325
Good, at least muslims know not to bite the hand that feeds them
>>34327341
lol... you're an idiot.
Nice. Came here looking for this thread.
Tac-50 is fucking incredible.
>>34327346
Then why didn't he stab a Canadian cop, it's like you don't think before you post.
>>34327380
Because everyone knows that Mounties carry a reserve of Canadian bacon in case they get lost in a snow storm
>>34327410
Kek, but wouldn't getting American police blood on their bodies be wrong in their religion, you know, pigs being filty animals in the eyes of islam?
>>34327253
Sounds like a solid Islamist victory
>>34327486
Nice
Righto hopefully he comes back to Canada and keeps doing the Lord's work.
>inb4 Trudeau charges him with a hate crime
>>34327253
Canada's got good snipers. The last guy who held the record I'm pretty sure was Canadian
>>34327625
No, but #3 and #4 are Canadian. #2 is a Brit, and #5 is American
>>34327675
isnt there a welsh fellow...or maybe that was the name of the brits unit im confusing
>>34327702
I assumed he was a Brit, but it was just a UK flag that I saw
>JTF2 is one of the best
>people are still surprised
How?
>>34327253
Mountain people tend to be good shots. Look at Finland, Switzerland, or any redneck out of Appalachia.

>Hathcock started it all with an HMG he slapped a scope on.
>>34328080
>>34328080
Only because there are no European SS troops anymore
>>34328098
Not even close.
50 cal sniping started in the Korean war. Mix of M2s and PTRDs with M2 barrels.
>>34328080
U.S. doesn't need snipers. We just bomb the shit out of every thing.
>>34327253
Okay I'm drunk but at what point does sniping at 2 miles begin to resemble dropping a JDAM/hellfire/wtfever? You can't see what you are killing and you are relying on intel to designate the target as hostile. So yeah lucky shot and all but c'mon it's two fuckin miles away.
>>34329090
that point begins at about 500m with lots of observation
>>34328080
you dont hear about canadas missed shots (bullets travel time is 9 seconds, that comes down to a lot of luck even if you can get perfectly zeroed in) US isnt going to bother sending a sniper when they can easily bomb the target for better chances and take out everyone
>>34329301
>Sniper one : "yep he's a bad guy, I'll spot you shoot, Just aim for his icon and aim for that fifth cloud above the tower, Yep that one."
>Sniper two at 3.4 km. " Firing."
>>34327324
Canada has a poor army, actually. No morale. They don't want to fight because they believe that killing their enemies will allow their enemies to win.
>>34328913
Do we know what caliber they used? Do TAC-50s only come in 50 BMG or is it possible they used 338 or something else
There are already a bunch of threads about this. Read the catalog.
>>34332443
They don't call it a TAC-338
We're still waiting for official confirmation on this.
It's all based on one news site citing a "source" that goes completely unverified.
>>34332533
Although..... im pretty sure McMillan does make a Tac 338
>>34328968
>>34329511
These are the most pathetic excuses I've ever heard
>>34330523
Military fag here, can confirm. Our motto was changed in 2016 to "Kill them with kindness" and we're not allowed to engage enemies without their verbal consent

Not exactly.
The army types are different from average Canadians, you would be amazed the amount of times Ive seen guys laughing about turning brown people into pink mist with LAV guns.
