World's Longest Sniper Kill: 3,871 Yards - Over 2 Miles

[Weatherman2020]

The bullet would have to be aimed 6,705 inches above the target for gravity.
A 5 mph breeze would move the bullet 30 feet.
It took 7 seconds for the bullet to hit the target, so the earths rotation of which hemisphere they were in had to be factored in.
Altitude, Barometric Pressure, Relative Humidity, Temperature all had to be factored in.

Aimed 600 feet above the target?

There's a chart in the link, gravity being the worst offender. But fortunately consistent.

That ain't the weapon that made the shot. Just sayin......

Yeah. The shooter used a .50 BMG sniper rifle. I've hit a man sized target at 2800 yards with mine, but it took three tries to connect. The circular error is big enough at that range that even though you are "on target", you still miss.

Nope. Just an FN MAG, or in US parlance, the M240 Golf.

The radical Mooslim who ended up on the wrong side of the bullet, died before those around him heard the shot.. This is the biggest fear of Mooslims and why more of them don't radicalize. Koodos to the Military and what bullshit they have to deal with , like the Schumer Shutdown.

You rated my post informative but it was fun. They probably confused the gun with the M24 Sniper rifle.

And you have to hope in the 7 seconds between firing and impact the target remains perfectly still.

Yup. Although with the aforementioned circular error to deal with, the target might move himself into the bullet too. IIRC this particular shot was the snipers second on that particular target. His first shot missed.

I am not a big gun guy, I have my glock 9mm and my Mossberg 500..but that's about it when I go deer (in a blue moon) hunting I use my friends...i just find it interesting

Five times a day, when they pray to their god of peace, several snipers can take whole carpets full of them.

The greatest fear of them is to get the Sharia law and be stoned and this shot does not scare them, because they do not even understand what's going on. Otherwise, they all have to become obedient Christians after this:
