1000 yd Shot Standing w/ .50 cal
chicchorea....on target on all counts.
It did and has occurred to me that the .50 cal cartridge helped. Mach 3 and 600+ gr. projectile with high sectional density. The design of the M107, too.
Taking nothing away from the shooter.
That's amazing.
The instability of a standing shot
The wind at the target moving a bit from left to right (and who knows what it was doing in the intervening 1000 yards)
Cold bore and presumably, he didn't sight in the weapon himself and wasn't tuned into its idiosyncrasies.
Amazing---and perhaps, just a touch lucky.

Olive drab with yellow markings.
approx. 7kilos composition B (exlposives)

Anything breathing creature within that radius becomes little more than pink dust.
