British Sniper Fires Off Greatest Shot In SAS History
ISIS didn’t realize that they would be facing off against the new king of the British snipers, and a man capable of killing two birds with one stone.
A regiment of British SAS troops had gotten wind of an enormous bomb being delivered via Mercedes by ISIS thugs. When the original ambush on the vehicle failed, a sniper with the SAS stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park.
“At that point the SAS sniper stepped in and opened fire with his .338 Lapua Magnum rifle.
“He let off two shots to judge the car’s speed, its distance and the wind direction before going for the kill.
“’He knew his first two shots wouldn’t hit the target but they helped him judge the distance.’
“The marksman hit the driver with a head shot from 1,000m, killing him instantly. The bullet passed through his skull and struck the passenger in the neck. He died at the scene.”
“’The car crashed off the road after the driver was killed and the Libyans sprayed it with machine gun fire.'”
The shot has been heralded as the greatest in the history of the SAS, and I am willing to bet that the marksmen hasn’t had to pay for a pint of beer in quite some time.
