I saw a demo of a US sniper in Iraq. He saw the bad guys run behind a cinder block wall. So he used that round and nailed the guys

One shot one kill 
Reminds me of the story of David and Goliath. Its funny that preachers always make the sling to be a dinky thing. It was actually a very accurate ballistic weapon in the hands of a soldier in ancient times. Davids smooth stones had nearly the same impact as a bullet at close range.

Re: UK sniper kills Al Qaeda from 1.5 miles away
My town outside of Nashville is quietly the home to Barrett Firearms that manufactures 50 cal guns for the military.
That is an amzing shot for that sniper. I can't even imagine how he got it right accounting for the wind, etc over that distance.
When my son was a Marine in Iraq one of his best friends got killed by a sniper in front of his eyes as they were manning a roadblock in either Fallujah or Ramadi. His buddy was hit by a 50 cal that killed him instantly and after the bullet went through his neck it then went through the engine block of the car he was near. I don't think that Iraqi sniper was very far away so he didn't have to be a good shot. He was just shooting from a nearby building. My sons only consolation was that his buddy died instantly, never knew what hit him.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: UK sniper kills Al Qaeda from 1.5 miles away
These guys train really well and with spotters. They have scopes that help them "offset" a shot...like a shot that far you shoot a couple dots above their heads. Then they account for drift of the bullet due to spin and then there is wind...amazing to take that all into account and still hit the mark

Re: UK sniper kills Al Qaeda from 1.5 miles away
I am sorry people; I am new here but should we as Christians have a little more respect for the dead? Many praises on this thread are given to this sniper kill, but how can we praise someone else's death when the LORD God Himself seeks no pleasure in the death of the wicked ( Ezekiel 18:21-23 , Ezekiel 33:11)?
