I admit war may be necessary, without argument, but war is not to be celebrated. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #33

"You guys just want to pick a fight." eleny Sep 2016 #72

I get your point sarisataka Sep 2016 #86
Thank you. I appreciate the support amid the tempest. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #88
A mile away??? What?? PearliePoo2 Sep 2016 #6
The amount of skill it takes to shoot at that level is amazing. NWCorona Sep 2016 #8
Whoa! That's beyond impressive. PearliePoo2 Sep 2016 #11
That's a bit more impressive than making that shot with a .50 REP Sep 2016 #20
The .338 is every bit as good as the .50 for long range shots. Travis_0004 Sep 2016 #95
.338 drops a bit more than .50 at 2500y REP Sep 2016 #96
Lever action? Good Rifle. Jim Beard Sep 2016 #26
Rats, yes. Can't stand them! Put a scope on it too. PearliePoo2 Sep 2016 #62

Why did he wait for him to finish the speech? alcibiades_mystery Sep 2016 #13
Dramatic effect? Glassunion Sep 2016 #16
Uh huh alcibiades_mystery Sep 2016 #17
I recall a Bruce Willis flick where the sniper waited and shot the lighter our of the bad guy's hand Glassunion Sep 2016 #21
It does remind one of a movie alcibiades_mystery Sep 2016 #24
Maybe to not be disracted? George II Sep 2016 #32
What's distracting about a speech a mile away? muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #69
It's possible he was moving around during the speech, and facing the sniper jmowreader Sep 2016 #76
Too much gesticulating? nt. druidity33 Sep 2016 #94
It is curious that papers like the Star and Daily Mail have reported this but not serious press. Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #14
Feel good story of the day, except sammythecat Sep 2016 #19
Its a remarkable story PatSeg Sep 2016 #23
It's an embellished copy-pasta. Oneironaut Sep 2016 #91
Oh, well that's a shame sammythecat Sep 2016 #131
well there is this Egnever Sep 2016 #114
Awesome! MynameisBlarney Sep 2016 #25
Amazing - I counted 5 sec. between firing and hit packman Sep 2016 #30
Lots of variables. Glassunion Sep 2016 #56
Counted? the joe.ie site has no video; the Star has an unrelated video of a missile muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #66
Of course, the effects of gravity and wind resistance are not measured arithmetically... Eleanors38 Sep 2016 #73
I find it hard to believe melting from air friction is a problem muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #75
3,000 fps is an average muzzle velocity speed for deer rifles. Eleanors38 Sep 2016 #84
Heat effects from most of an hour of supersonic travel are a lot different from a couple of seconds muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #92
You are certainly right about improvement of ballistics, and the performance of the round on impact. Eleanors38 Sep 2016 #130
Hornady has a match round bullet to overcome melting. GoDawgs Sep 2016 #116
OK, that is to overcome melting of a plastic tip muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #121

That is exactly how I feel. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2016 #126
Joe.ie is an Irish based men's "lifestyle" magazine, not a responsible news outlet. Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #37
I am skeptical too... No doubt the SAS snipers are skilled and all that PersonNumber503602 Sep 2016 #41
I keep wonder why no credible source is reporting such an exceptional heroic event? Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #43
Could very well be fake. I'm skeptical but that isn't an impossible shot NWCorona Sep 2016 #54
I think that "feel good part" is the purpose behind the planted story. Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #59
Other outlets are reporting this story, but the majority seem to be British tabloids Eugene Sep 2016 #58
Is it one of those stories where each article reports a different source? Glassunion Sep 2016 #61
The point is NO credible news source has published it. It has been in circulation for far too long. Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #63
Point taken. A closer look shows all reports citing The Daily Star as their source. Eugene Sep 2016 #136
It's an oldish internet story. Oneironaut Sep 2016 #134
This and the complete lack of any location or time frame for this alleged event. Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #135
It doesn't say what ultimately happened to the hostages though PersonNumber503602 Sep 2016 #39
Very good shot indeed lunatica Sep 2016 #45
Surprise! Four more gone for good. George II Sep 2016 #50
Wow - awesome shooting leftynyc Sep 2016 #51
Sounds remarkably similar to the Star's February "SAS sniper kills ISIS killer at a mile" story muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #52
I'm glad the civilians were saved. NaturalHigh Sep 2016 #55
This is AWESOME NEWS!!! I wish there were video of the execution! beaglelover Sep 2016 #60
No offense to NWCorona but this needs to be locked as fake news. Ford_Prefect Sep 2016 #64
Based on what evidence? brooklynite Sep 2016 #108
It comes from the Daily Star, a British tabloid with a reputation roughly of the National Enquirer muriel_volestrangler Sep 2016 #122
