Canadian Sniper wiping out Taliban Snipers. In Afghanistan
video shots are not made through the shooter's telescopic sight. They are
made looking through the spotter's scope. The spotter lies right next to
the sniper and helps the sniper to find and home in on the target.
The sniper is using a 50 caliber rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8
inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself
is one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches long.
Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban is laying on
top of the peak in front of you... when you hear the shot fired....
watch what happens. The sniper is also about a half mile away... or more.

The Canadian snipers fire special 50-caliber McMillan tactical rifles,
which are bolt-action weapons with five-round magazines. The Canadian
snipers were the only Canadian troops operating without helmets or flak
jackets as they had too much other equipment to carry. Each three-man team
has one sniper rifle, three standard rifles Canadian (C7s), one of them
with a 203mm grenade launcher (See attached file:
