Sharpshooter In Afghanistan Sets New Record: 8120 Feet
An army sniper has earned a place in military history by killing two Taliban machine gunners from more than a mile and a half away.
Craig Harrisons record breaking shots felled the insurgents with consecutive bullets even though they were 3,200ft beyond the official range of his rifle.
The Household Cavalry veterans kills from a distance of 8,120ft beat the previous record by 150ft.
He was using the British-built L115A3 Long Range Rifle, the Armys most powerful sniper weapon.
