The page I'm linking says this was in Iraq . Dont know , looks like Afgahnistan to me where some of the longest hits recorded have been made but nevertheless the .50 cal has some pop to it .

Flat shooter....
But when you want to reach out and "touch" someone or take out an engine block,one from from this will do the trick! Mile and a half capable.

Cool , a sniper thread .
If they run , they'll only die tired .
The Silent Soldier
a Snipers Poem by G.A.Codling
A soldier crawls along a forest floor
A match grade barrel to do his chore
Blending with the woodland scene
He leaves no trace of where he's been
A single task occupies his mind
To the outside world he is blind
One single task, one single goal
Only his mission occupies his soul
He moves into the open grass
The enemy patrol makes a searching pass
although they look, they can not see
the man moving out from a distant tree
One hour, two , three then four
He only moves a few feet more
Zero hour is getting near
He knows his target will soon appear
A single man he has been sent to kill
and on his hands this man's blood will spill
The moment is now, the target's in site
Taking up the first pressure the shoot feels right
One ounce more on the trigger sear
The bullet races away like a high speed spear
It races throw the air with a thunderous crack
There's a fountain of blood as it exits the man's back
The silence is deafening theirs not a single sound
as the shooter removes the case of the single spent round
His task now done he fades back in to the wood
His only trace is a body wear a man once stood.

shenoyp ,
Here in the States some number of years back there was a nation wide advertising campaign by a telephone company who was using lower long distance phone call rates as primary reason to switch to their services .
The campaign slogan for the long distance calls was
Reach out and touch someone
That was translated into a universal long shot .
I have the T-Shirt with crosshairs and target

I saw this one at the SHOT Show. It's damn impressive but I'd hate to be the one carrying it!!
