The Longest Recorded Sniper Shot: Joint Task Force 2 | May 2017 

Lmfao... good one.

OMG, Canadian guy here. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Totally caught me off guard. Funny thing....probably true Lol

finnaally canada

Ezzy Taylor You are American i guest. You think we are all polite and gentle. Every time we train with your army we beat them.

Yep most likely when something like"sorry bud'now let's go for a rip"

Facts... salute to the spotter

All physicists are very impressed, that is some serious calculating.

@@kimmy6863 He presumably used a computer program. Those calculations would be way too diffiuclt to do by hand.

Its called ballistic app. Lol

the calculations are all done by computer now a days. They have a variety of things to get the calculations right for the shot. Its punching in the numbers and getting the info to pass to the shooter.

Sean Paley I hear that the kangaroos are the car totalling equivalent of our moose. Can you confirm?

Stumpyis360 nah only in the outback

and we are happy to come help countries around the world in forest fire fighting too. Some of the most elite Fire fighters in the world and we are happy to help our ausie friends down under to put that crap out you guys got going on.

respect ! 🇦🇺x🇨🇦

You should google a Canadian soldier named Leo Major. He served in WW2 and Korea and is very interesting.

Dunno if he was the one who took the shot. Hotly debated. Most likely he said that to get popularity when he stabbed JTF2 in the back releasing the info he did.

Congrats for killing a person?

@@turtle_food8774 yes

@@ghost8050 Who are you?

@@turtle_food8774 someone

turtle_food They took out a enemy combatant who was about to attack allied troops, thus probably saving several others life. What do you think soldiers do in war? Ask the politely to lay down their guns and stop raping and murdering civilians? ISIS is the scum of the earth and no pardon should be given them anyway. He got lucky and wasn’t captured by peshmerga female fighters, I would guess they wouldn’t given him an fast and easy death!

Canada:we are the nicest people in the world BUT we will fuck you up

Canada has literally won every war it fought in. One of the only countries to ever do so.

Sam McNeill McKinnell they even have more confirmed kills against America troops than America does them

mccabber24 HUA

What does trump call Canada again

Greg IIRC in ww2 a Canadian guy invaded a German city by himself with a tank by making them believe they were under siege so that they would surrender

We just channel our bloodlust and warrior spirit into the Geese and Lynx until we need to go fight again.

@@ayzix-polytopia3854 Leo Major. And he went to Korea to do insane battles.

If you kill an American Canadian or British soldier in battle his friends become enraged and fight viciously till that enemy is destroyed

Fighting with the British- Yes, mostly in both world wars where most of the action took place but so did Australia.

Competition for the MarkandSamafterwork channel!

Wow! Now I can really appreciate that shot! Thanks!

You're not taking altitude into the calculation

@@highlanderfreelancer4553 I didn't take altitude into this equation. Altitude's effect on wind resistance is minimal, it would affect hold but not velocity.

Luck played the biggest part.

Sniper: Hold my beer, eh

@@brettjones8567 *Tim Hortons coffee

Canadian : hold my timmys

"Sir, he's three kilometers away, that shot is certainly impossible. The chances of hitting that are-" "shut up noob"

@@Getactivewithcat would be a different story if he was against a sniper. But in this situation he can try many times and still his position not be located.

As far as I know, the Whitworth rifles were hexagonal so as to have the best rifling and fitting possible with the tools available at the time. They were most accurate sniper rifles in the world for some time as far as I know.

Harrisons shot was the second longest shot not the third as for this one the projectile's energy would be next to nothing at that range so show us the body.

@@paulchandler9646 I believe Harrison was the third, an Aussie got the second in 2012 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_recorded_sniper_kills), as for the Whitworth, it was built with light ammunition that could hit a target at a maximum range of 2,000 yards (further than even the 1853 Enfield Rifle), even Queen Victoria when firing the gun for the first time hit a bullseye at 400 yards, if you have any evidence for what you say, I'd be happy to look at it.

@@GimmePaypalKid No, actually I believe Albert Johnson is correct, it was the second longest at 2707 yards. Third place was another Canadian at 2657 yards, fourth place was another Canadian at 2526 yards and fifth place was an American at 2515 yards. As stated, first place was a Canadian at 3871 yards. I say I believe Albert Johnson is correct, because I did see one site which mentioned the Aussie sniper. I found the information which I provided from four other independent sites however, with exactly the same info as that which I provided.

@@GimmePaypalKid Me again. I looked this up and found out why the Australian sniper is not counted officially. Apparently two Australian snipers took the same shot in concert at the same target, so that increases the likelihood that one of the snipers would hit the target. It is for this reason the Australian sniper is not counted in the official records. Cheers.

Yes, many many people just have no idea about the Black Watch. They were incredibly effective.

or lucky.. In a target rich environment even someone from a gun controlled country might get lucky now and then.

@@Sugarsail1 Sure, luck is a factor in all long-range shots but the JTF2 sniper was over a kilometre "luckier" than George Harrison. And nobody not from a "gun controlled country" has ever even been close. Sorry if it bruises your ego that the best snipers alive today aren't American. Too bad, so sad now go drop some tears in that bottled water that you Yankers call "beer". LOL

@@Sugarsail1 He's special forces, professional sniper, #1 world record holder for farthest shot, and comes from a country with a higher average IQ than all surrounding countries.

That insurgent is farting right for us, haha

This has got to be the funniest comment I have ever read!!

Deeds not Words! We dont need to stick out our chest, we just take care of business on move on. An American sniper would have already had a movie and a book deal. Not to mention the phony morning talkshow circuit.

@@BorisTheSpyder as an american i cant agree more lol.

@@joshmattmilo that was Furlong, he was PPCLI 3 not JTF2 . This guy is still not identified which implies he is still operating

Why is it in the museum

And up until May 1, anyone with a Non-restricted license and $17000 Canadian could have bought one (minus optics (add another $5k US))

completely different sniper brkly the one in the war museum belongs to Rob Furlong who had the record from 2002-2009 @brkly99

@Pgon you're right, brain fart. South of the border though they can recreate it

Some incredible information there. Can you give us an idea what it would be like to shoot at these distances? Is it pure luck that you would hit? Would you be able to see the target through the scope? A U.S sniper was quoted in saying "at these ranges you also have to calculate the curvature of the earth" is this right? The bullet would have lost a lot of its speed by the time its hit the target, what speed do you think the bullet would be travelling at on impact? Thanks

@@woodybenjam Curvature of the earth videos here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cap5CnTMtPE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mtMs6SOasak.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jX7dcl_ERNs.html

or maybe its an extremly lucky shot or didnt happen at all.

Someone with some sense. People trying to say it’s all luck. Or anyone with that info could do it.. you still have to account for flinch, trigger pull, recoil, weather. There is a really good reason you don’t hear of these shots often. Even the ultra long range guys running .408’s or .375 cheytacs are not hitting these shots cold bore, they walk into it. Let alone like you said about the ammo, 50 bmg is not a tier 1 long range round either.

Curvature of the earth, also has to be taken into account.

Fred Spina wow, so true!! So true! If only.. worse part is that you can’t really call anybody out publicly in person, because it’s considered hate speech...

@@meals24u You sir are so right.

@@gw2780 sorry snowflake , i miseed an e , your still a moron

Us Canadians do produce damned fine shooters!

@@TheWolfsnack We hold 3/5 of the world record sniper shots, plus the top spot out of the 5, so yeah, eh.

@@saintejeannedarc9460 Oh right! Before the 2430m shot way back when in Afghanistan they hit someone at...2000m? Can't remember now. Two records were set within a day or so, no?

All of the shots I could find over 2300 meters were Australian, Canadian, or UK snipers. Not just the record shots either. If you want prolific snipers though you have to got to Finland Sweden and Norway. Simo Hayha for example-500+ confirmed kills in 100 days (+200 using a submachinegun). That said a Royal Marine got 90 confirmed kills in 24 hours once. That must have been one hairy situation.

@@gordonlawrence1448 That goes to show then. All the downplayers that are trying to claim that anyone could have made the shots w/ the technology, but it was the Cdn guy and team that lucked into are full of it. I've been saying there has to be something about our weather, something about being forged in the Canadian arctic that creates better soldiers, certainly snipers. The fact that the best long shot, if not record holders are in sub arctic Scandinavia, just goes to show the arctic connection. I also like to think it has to do w/ consuming the best maple syrup in the world. I'm sure that's the piece de resistance that makes us the best in the world. I'm only half joking, lol.

He'll remain anonymous - standard for the JTF2.

Quick note: .50 BMG, not .50 HMG. The latter refers to the mounted M2 Browning heavy machine gun .338 Lapua Magnum or .338 LM, not .338 Magnum. The latter is often used to refer to the hunting cartridge .338 Winchester Magnum. I doubt the Brits would send out soldiers with internally fed hunting rifles instead of the usual L115s or other AWM variants

“Hold on bud, lemme finish this dart and il hit that slapper no problem eh”

The “colonies” have had a few bones to chew with British officers. In various wars and battles.

@@flatlandriver2471 ANZAC!

@@flatlandriver2471 And, of course, it goes without saying that Canadian, Australian, and Kiwi officers NEVER made major mistakes!

@@wildrose2748 LOL Saskatchewan? Boom... Miss.....Boom ..Miss Dude Relax have a smoke And a coffee And have another go at him eh?

Thanks. Now I want moose

I'm 70 now and fondly remember growing up with guns and hunting. Never had a BB gun, started with a 22 my dad gave me when I was 10. Me and my buds went out whenever we could to get groundhogs. Local farmers gave us a whopping 25 cents each. Then pheasants, rabbits and worked up from there for bigger game with bigger guns. I feel like I won the life lottery being born and raised in Canada!

Moose is a vulnerable species in most areas now, considering deer or rabbit hunting instead.

As a Canadian-American, pretty much every freedom loving citizen hates war (especially those who have served). However they willingly serve because, while freedom isn't free, it's a bargain compared to the alternative.

as a future Canadian, I would like to rewrite these fucking badass history

I’ve never understood this whole “soldiers fight for freedom” bullshit. I always get emotional when it comes to anything with the military. But you can’t tell me it’s fighting for freedom, if it was, they’d be in there respective countries. Like police. Or handling slave trading, sex trading, that kind of stuff. Not killing radical Islamics who control there own country. Ya know?

You get a like just on your profile pic!

THe current top ranking is a Brit, Ozzie, Ukrainian and 3 Canadians in the top 6 long range kills. When asked the now 6th ranking Canadian Furlong said it was not unheard of in Canadian sniper school to hit targets at over 3000 meters. As I understand it unlike American snipers Canadian snipers return to sniper school regularly for refreshers. Other than the top Canadian the other two had been provided from a Canadian regular regiment as sniper support for the American 10th mountain Division. Each regiment has it own sniper squad.

How is it possible to confirm a 'kill' at 2 miles. Not possible. One can confirm a 'man down' at 2 miles but not a 'kill'. BULLSHIT!!

Because no one appreciates us so we are humble.

@@gw2780 ass....

Where? I have weapons tech bros all over.

They don’t practice THESE kinds of long shots all the time. The Canadian military doesn’t even have a shooting range that goes that far. Most long range shooting is out to 800m. Past that point it’s all math and control anyways.

@@kwharrison6668 We got plenty. But assaulter courses for JTF2 training are done in the Blackwater training center in South Carolina. They do far shots, but not THAT far. Nowhere does, it's an insane distance. Edit: Trained in an american facility BY CANADIAN TRAINERS.

Have you ever played that?

C.O.D is good with chips!

Given the shot was independently confirmed by the Americans I would say the trolls are full of hot air as usual.

I met him before his deployment. A great guy by anyones standards!

He's #3 now I believe? I saw his rifle at our museum here in St. John's NFLD when his record was first announced (#1 at that time). Beautiful rifle. He's an RCMP Constable now, which is really cool. Very proud of him being a Newfoundlander! Our regiment has produced some damn fine soldiers since WW1. (The only regiment to get the Royal label from the kind during WW1. It was a HUGE deal)

If you watch the interview with one of the spotters Dallas Alexander (Prick, fuck him, betrayed his unit by doing the interview) he talks about how they used basically...prisms. Like a triangle block of specially focused glass. So you tilted the rifle UP, with this on your scope, the reticule was basically on the target using precise machined math. Fired up in the air.
