U think making 1 shot 1 time by 1 individual makes the entire Canadian Military better snipers than the US?? Carlos Hathcock, a Marine, made a shot from almost the exact same distance as Furlong in 1967 and he did it with a Browning .50cal Heavy machine gun, not a specialized Macmillian Tac 50 Sniper rifle with specialized modern optics. Not only that but he did it on the first shot, where it took Furlong 3 tries. 90 percent of long range sniper kills in Afghanistan are mae by US snipers.

The longest range confirmed kill is now set by a british sniper...not a canadian, In fact the Brit took out two taliban from this range, look it up

For everyone arguing which sniper from which country is better, none of you have heard of Coast Guard HITRON yet, a sniper group so elite they could wipe out most snipers on the planet.

Everyone who is posting which country is better than others at shooting a gun has to understand that every country has very gifted shooters and then the average shooter. Even at the special forces level, there are ones better than others. If you really think the best snipers are at these competitions then it makes sense why you are arguing about it in the first place. The best snipers are over seas somewhere making sure other men don't die, not in competitions. These are your average guys.

@ajr666 Please explain why US Snipers did not win any events in recent Military and Police Sniper World Cup which was held in Budapest on 30th May, 2011.

Do you know that China Snipers using China made guns dominated. They came first in four out of five events. The Czech Republic came in first in the other Event.

The competition involved 24 excercises from 20 to 400 meters over a period of 3 days in real life situation

which include night firing at designated time.

@Kerenskyz15 No it was a Browning M2 50 Caliber heavy machine gun. He figured out a way to mount a Unertil optical sight on it. Also, a Browning M2 can be rigged to fire single shot. Becaues of its weight, if you go to the trouble to sand bag the tripod mount it is an extremly stable weapon. This story has acutally been confirmed though I can't remember the source.

@ajr666 You don't think that the fact that the US has ten times more snipers in Afghanistan, than everyone else put together, can be the reason why the US snipers gets 90 percent of the long range kills? Seriously, think before you write!
