Sniper: Inside the Crosshairs on History Channel

[Skew]

Killer show (no pun). Discribes snipers stories and incredible long rang shots during battles in wars. Some unbelievable shots. World record: 1.5 mile kill shot with a 50 cal. bullet.

(show for those who still possess their man cards only)

Yeah I saw that too. Great show. Snipers kick ass. Not only the long range shots were awesome, but the one where the guy mowed down like 30 guys over a few days was kick ass.

That was incredible. These guys did things that I thought was impossible.

Did you ever see the Navy Seals: BUD/S Class 234 on Military Channel? Now that was a great show. The guys that make it through there are tough as Hell. Now they should be the ones policing the "man cards"

[Skew]

Haven't seen that show. I'll look for it.

Hmm, I've watched this show and enjoyed it greatly, yet I have no man card as I returned mine.

PARADOX!!!

It came a few years ago. Not sure when they'll do re-runs. May be something you can check out on netflix.

Go get your wife's tampons. And while you are out, pick up some douche for yourself.

Carlos Hathcock, Marine sniper and famous/infamous for his exploits during Vietnam is my guess for the guy mowing people down over a period of time.

I'm not sure if the piece refers to Canadian sniper Furlong's near 1.5 mile shot, or this one done recently by a British sniper.

Both shots are amazing.

Carlos Hathcock was the man. He had the most confirm kills. I have a book on him that I haven't read yet. The Vietcong had him on their "most wanted" list lol.

We're already well stocked on those items thanks.

I think it was the Canadian sniper for the World Record, but he ran out of Canadian 50 cal bullets and did it with a more wind resistant U.S. 50 cal bullet

Furlong broke a long standing record in Afghanistan, and then the British sniper broke that one just this year.

Makes me think the heights of Afghanistan may produce further record breakers.

The show I was watching today was a couple of years old and was talking about the record set in Afghanistan. I haven't seen the British sniper story yet.

They were saying that the higher altitude and thinner atmosphere produces less wind resistance for longer accuracy.
