British sniper shoots dead two Taliban fighters... from more than 1.5 miles away
Quote:
A British 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 Harrison's record-breaking sharpshooting felled the insurgents with consecutive bullets - even though they were 3,200ft beyond the effective range of his rifle.
The Household Cavalry veteran's kills from a distance of 8,120ft eclipsed the previous sniper record by 150ft.
