Possible propaganda yes but definitely possible. The Canadians special forces guys have been making ELR kills for a while now. Their last one was just a hair under this one a 2.14 miles ( this 2.3) really good deep break down of the shot here buy a LR/ELR guy Now that being said , this just being one guy making one single shot.... eeghhhh . Most of these elr kills are team efforts with a bare minimum for 1-2 extra guys along with the shooter. And still their usually taking multiple shots before a actual hit. So one guy doing everything....yeeahh now I'm skeptical....that being said I haven't read too much into all this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfdog91 7,265 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 As a side note when you get elr hobby guys making hits a close to 4miles well... Now again these aren't one shot hit deals ..and at this point it's morean portable artillery then sniping but Quote Link to post Share on other sites
