Default Canadian Sniper Record Broken

Well I guess it had to happen sometime, but a Brit broke the record for farthest confirmed sniper kill by 150':

Quote:
An army sniper has earned a place in military history by killing two Taliban machine gunners from more than a mile and a half away.
Craig Harrison's record breaking shots felled the insurgents with consecutive bullets - even though they were 3,200ft beyond the official range of his rifle.
The Household Cavalry veteran's kills from a distance of 8,120ft beat the previous record by 150ft.

Those distances are still mind boggling to me.

Edit: For you gamers, "auto-aim hackz!"
