So in all actuality... it was probably a lucky shot.

I wouldn't be surprised if more than one shot was fired and it was walked in. That far away, the target probably didn't know that the gunfire was intended for him initially.Just a guess.
Ok, so what would be the GTA, pellet pusher equivalent be? Not only distance, but caliber, pellet/slug/boolit?Be interesting to scale that to air.
Very impressive shot, obviously tango never saw it coming, 10 second is a long time to be silhouetted in a position were someone 2 miles away can put you to sleep. Maybe they (sniper/spotter) caught him in prayer and timed his shot perfectly. Whatever the particulars the end result one less posmf' great job!

I saw a documentary on the Canadian sniper who held the previous record. He did walk in the shot of the intended target. If I remember correctly, seems it told the shooter 3-4 missed shots before actually making the kill shot. At 2 miles, there are a lot of cross winds & other factors already mentioned to contend with. I'm glad these snipers are on our side!
