Brit Sniper Kills Six Taliban With One Bullet

Post by Greybeard »

A British sniper in Afghanistan killed six insurgents with a single bullet after hitting the trigger switch of a suicide bomber whose device then exploded, The Telegraph has learnt.

The 20-year-old marksman, a Lance Corporal in the Coldstream Guards, hit his target from 930 yards (850 metres) away, killing the suicide bomber and five others around him caught in the blast.

Possibly the luckiest shot I ever heard of.

I wonder how many lives were saved that day.

Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock would have said "that's right good son".

Hope the Brits give him some recognition.
