Bobo sends us link from the UK’s Express comes the story of an experienced SAS sniper who took out five ISIS cowards who planned to detonate their suicide vests in a crowd of civilians near Mosul, Iraq with just three rounds;
The sniper shot the first jihadi in the chest, detonating his explosive device and killing him instantly, along with two ISIS guards sat in a nearby car.
The second terrorist was killed with a headshot, as he and the third man tried desperately to get back into the locked factory.
The third jihadi also died when his explosive vest was set off by a third and final well-aimed shot from the colour sergeant.
According to the Express, the SAS sniper had been observing the bomb factory for weeks prior to the sucessful operation. The article also mentions that the targets were eliminated at about range of 800 meters. the article doesn’t mention the type of rifle, but I’m guessing that it was the L115A3 in .338 Lapua Magnum which has been in service with the SAS since 2008.

They blowed up real good!
Her Majesty’s SAS do it again! Well Done, gentlemen.
Nine inches at 800 meters is just over a quarter mil. That is some seriously fancy shooting under field conditions. The Brits can still shoot with the best of them.
Call it a one-minute group… not difficult at short range off a bench, but damned impressive a half a mile away.
Wow.
That sniper must have been aiming for their teeth…
Nice shootin’ Tex !!!
SWEET! 3 bullets, and 5 dead asslifters. Nice read for a Monday afternoon.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Out go the lights!
Now I know how the MCPO killed one squirrel of every species with one shot. To The Irish!
So, does this kick-@$$ SAS sniper get credit for three terrs he shot, or for the total 5 who were killed? It seems a bit unfair to credit the collateral damage … if he hit a terr-bus-bomb and the explosion killed all 37 terrs on board …. ya see where I’m going….
A confirmed kill is a confirmed kill!
Hot dang brah one awesome dude! Love my sas brothers.
SHUT UP, BUNNY FART!! YOU ARE a Reception Battalion WASHOUT, A REJECT, A FAILURE!!! YOU’RE ALSO A SANTORUM-HEADED LYING SACK OF SHIT!
Yep, there’s Bunni-Boi. Right on time. His daily oral bowel movements run as precisely as a German train schedule.
Hey, fefe-forker. Where’s that DD214?
Nice to see the boys are thinking of the economy whilst doing a bit of eradication of vermin.
At 800 meters the total awesomeness of those shots on moving targets can not be described.
Out Fucking Standing!
Do you know what you get when a six-foot man lays down with a three-foot rifle?
Hot-flashes — but that’s just me. 😀
