@ chilloFACTOR You are correct

"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil."...

Actually the new world record is not one that will be recorded officially. But there was a kill southeast of the Afgani border that was on a very high ranking government official by an unnamed member of a Special Forces sniper from a distance of 2740 meters ( 8990 feet)

The current world record for the longest range sniper kill is 2430 meters (7972 feet), accomplished by a Canadian sniper, Corporal Rob Furlong using an American Barret 50. Cal sniper rifle..

Ya and is name is Rob Furlong. I got great respect for the men and woman who are in afghan. They fight so others may live. Ouuraah.

it was 2.4 km away and the sniper team was all ready useing the us 50. cal rounds because they were getting further distance than the canadian rounds

[Kylebko]

Right now Canadian soldier that was in Afghanistan got longest recorded and confirmed sniper kill. He was attached with american section and he ran out of canadian rounds and only had american rounds left, took 3 shots i think and it was from 2.4km away or i think it might be 2.8km's not quit sure. should look it up theres a interview. pretty cool
