 | The current record for longest range sniper kill is 2,430 meters (7,972 feet), accomplished by a Canadian sniper, Corporal Rob Furlong, of the third battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (3 PPCLI), during the invasion of Afghanistan, using a .50 BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan bolt-action rifle. The previous record was held by U.S. Marine Carlos Hathcock, achieved during the Vietnam War, at a distance of 2,250 meters. This was accomplished with a M2 Browning machine gun mounted with a scope and fired single shot. | | | |
