Canadian sniper set what appears to be a record, picking off an ISIS fighter from some 2.2 miles away, and disrupting a potentially deadly operation by the terror group in Iraq.

Shooting experts say the fatal shot from at a world-record of 11,316 feet underscores how stunningly sophisticated military snipers are becoming. The feat, pulled off by a special forces sniper from Canada’s Joint Task Force 2, smashed the previous distance record for successful sniper shots by some 3,280 feet, a record set by a British sniper.

The fact that our pathetic Canadian govt doesn't support our troops properly makes this list even more significant.

Top 5 GREATEST HITS

CANADA 2017: 3,450 metres
GREAT BRITAIN 2009: 2,475 metres
CANADA 2002: 2,430 metres
CANADA 2002: 2,310 metres
UNITED STATES 2004: 2,300 metres


If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."
