It was interesting to me to read that Carlos Hathcock's longest sniper shot record has been broken several times in the last 5 years by different snipers. The current (known) longest shot is 2,707 yards, done by a British sniper using the .338 Lapua Magnum round.
That's not nearly as impressive as this:
"US Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Steve Reichert killed an entire Iraqi insurgent machine gun crew of 3, behind a brick wall, with a single round from 1 mile away."
He was using a Barrett M82A3, .50 caliber, with a Raufoss high explosive round.
So, one shot, three kills?
