The record before that is Carlos Hancock who, during Vietnam, plugged a guy from 2,146 meters using a Browning .50 cal machine gun modified to fire single shots and fitted with a scope.

AK-47...Pfffffffttt!!!!

I\'m not sure of the relevance but yes, I know

It\'s Hathcock BTW. And the distance is supposed to have been 2,286 m (=2,500 yards, the rounded-off figure usually stated)

Einion

Yeah...way to make myself look stupid by typo-ing his name...oops!...and I generally don\'t round up, so I used the actual figure...how accurate their measurement was I don\'t really know.

As for the relevance...we are discussing lethal ranges of various weapons on a thread about outlawing paintball...I figured at this point, anything goes.:drunk:
