Your feel good story of the day.

He was using a .338 rifle with tumbling ammo that can cause a huge hole in the body on impact.

I've never heard of "tumbling" ammo, especially in a .338. Even at the range stated the .338 has enough retained energy to remove someones head, with proper bullet placement!

Isn't this an old story, or did they get two of these farkers in this way? Maybe we could send some snipers as part of our "advisors."

Date on the story is February 14, 2016 20:48 GMT, so you can take it from there.

I seem to recall an earlier story of a sniper taking out some ISIS guy. As I say, maybe similar events happened more than once.

There are numerous stories out there about British SAS, US Navy seals and Canadian snipers taking out the bad guys at very long range all through the Middle east, taliban, al qaeda and many other insurgent groups have found out about this the hard way over the years.....

Andy, I think the one you're thinking of is one from a little while ago where an SAS sniper took out two ISIS animals with one shot.

I really like this quote:

$1:

"One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded. The commander remained standing upright for a couple of seconds before collapsing and that's when panic set in. We later heard most of the recruits deserted. We got rid of 21 terrorists with one bullet."

The earlier story, the sniper got a twofer. This was, in effect, a 21......fer.

[andyt]

You're right. All power to them. If they have snipers with eyes on these pukes, why not have some small rocket launchers hand to take out the bunch.

The enemies of reason are losing.

No, it's just whack-a-mole as usual. Looks like the show's getting ready to hit the road again with the next stop being a return engagement in Libya.

A good Daesh fighter... is a headless Daesh fighter.

This is a good start to the day, goes great with your morning coffee.
