Default JTF2 confirmed sniper kill at over 3 kilometers

I have no idea the calculations and consideration of variables that would go into a shot at that distance, but regardless, once again, Canadian forces rule supreme.

"A sniper with Canada's elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,540 metres.

Sources say a member of Joint Task Force 2 killed an Islamic State insurgent with a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle while firing from a high-rise during an operation that took place within the last month in Iraq. It took under 10 seconds to hit the target."
