From The Scotsman:
This is a great article this Scottish sniper describes one of his kills.
Afterwards, he celebrates his first combat kill with a good cigar... I say, send him a box of cigars"He was just standing there. It was beautiful. He was only exposed a few seconds.
"I didn't need to adjust my rifle sights as they were set right from the previous day.
"Just like in training, I breathed slowly, inhaled and pulled the trigger.
"The 338 calibre bullet travels at about 800 metres a second so it would have taken just over a second to reach him.
"He was hit full in the upper chest. It took him a couple of seconds to drop but I knew he was slotted [dead].
"If one of these big 338 rounds hits you in the chest, even from that distance, it will cause a lethal amount of damage.
