Re: [Hi-Bandwidth] Canadian sniper wipes out enemy in Afghanista

If anyone has seen the show "Future Weapons" on Discovery a recent episode included a segment on a new, semi-auto .50 cal sniper rifle being produced in the UK.

The show's host (retired SEAL) tried it on a target 2000 yards out (I think). Being semi-auto, he was able to discharge the magazine (5 rounds total) with as much accuracy and in a fraction of the time as a bolt-action rifle.

It isn't the same video as the groundhog video. I watched both. And 47 to 51 secs in to the video you can see it is a person moving before being shot. Whether it is REALLY Afghanistan I can't say though.

Re: [Hi-Bandwidth] Canadian sniper wipes out enemy in Afghanista

Just watched it---groundhogs. Even if it was a person a human body wouldn't fly like that----perhaps a head or limb but the whole body wouldn't explode.
I have a .22 hornet that'll turn a groundhog inside out but just leaves a small hole and a lot of damage inside a deer or similar life form.
The guy in this video was probably hit by a .223 similar to the groundhog video or possibly a .308 which is a nasty round also. No explosions but wouldn't want to be him either way.
