Congrats to the spotter as well, as this is as much his achievement as it is the sniper. Thank you Canada!!
Congrats for killing a person?

turtle_food They took out a enemy combatant who was about to attack allied troops, thus probably saving several others life. What do you think soldiers do in war? Ask the politely to lay down their guns and stop raping and murdering civilians? ISIS is the scum of the earth and no pardon should be given them anyway. He got lucky and wasn’t captured by peshmerga female fighters, I would guess they wouldn’t given him an fast and easy death!
For those wondering, at this range with 50 bmg api (650gr, 2750 fps, 0.62 BC) the bullet was hitting at only about 200 fps with about 55 ft-lbs of energy. High estimates (assuming custom ammunition with .75 bc) put it at 300 fps and 137 ft-lbs. This is comparable to 22lr levels of energy. The trajectory at this point was almost directly straight down (requiring extreme precision as the silhouette of a man is smallest at this angle). The bullet had lost so much velocity at this distance that not only hitting would be difficult, but killing the enemy required extreme shot placement. It's a feat beyond amazing.
Competition for the MarkandSamafterwork channel!
Wow! Now I can really appreciate that shot! Thanks!
You're not taking altitude into the calculation
@@highlanderfreelancer4553 I didn't take altitude into this equation. Altitude's effect on wind resistance is minimal, it would affect hold but not velocity.
Luck played the biggest part.
bro, the guy who did the calculations deserves a round of applause
Facts... salute to the spotter
All physicists are very impressed, that is some serious calculating.
@@kimmy6863 He presumably used a computer program. Those calculations would be way too diffiuclt to do by hand.
Its called ballistic app. Lol
the calculations are all done by computer now a days. They have a variety of things to get the calculations right for the shot. Its punching in the numbers and getting the info to pass to the shooter.
Canada have some seriously skilled soldiers, among the best in the world and known for it! Love and respect from your commonwealth brother, Australia 🇦🇺 🇨🇦

You should google a Canadian soldier named Leo Major. He served in WW2 and Korea and is very interesting.
The guy who took the shot is Dallas Alexander he was a member of Joint Task Force 2 until recently and did an interview/podcast with Shawn Ryan (Shawn Ryan Show #47) if you want to give it a watch.
Dunno if he was the one who took the shot. Hotly debated. Most likely he said that to get popularity when he stabbed JTF2 in the back releasing the info he did.
Legend has it that locals can still hear “sorry” echoing through out the Iraqi mountains.
Lmfao... good one.
OMG, Canadian guy here. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Totally caught me off guard. Funny thing....probably true Lol

Ezzy Taylor You are American i guest. You think we are all polite and gentle. Every time we train with your army we beat them.
Yep most likely when something like"sorry bud'now let's go for a rip"
Unfortunately, relatively few people can comprehend how difficult that shot was. Thank you for posting this.
or lucky.. In a target rich environment even someone from a gun controlled country might get lucky now and then.
@@Sugarsail1 Sure, luck is a factor in all long-range shots but the JTF2 sniper was over a kilometre "luckier" than George Harrison. And nobody not from a "gun controlled country" has ever even been close. Sorry if it bruises your ego that the best snipers alive today aren't American. Too bad, so sad now go drop some tears in that bottled water that you Yankers call "beer". LOL

What does trump call Canada again
The third longest recorded sniper kill was performed by Corporal Craig Harrison of the British Army. He struck two Taliban machine gunners at a range of 2,707 yards with a British 338. L115A3: one through the stomach and the other through the ribcage. Interestingly enough, the current 19th longest sniper kill was performed by a Confederate sniper in 1864. He used a .451 hexagonal round fired from a Whitworth rifle and hit his target at approximately 1,400 yards. Pretty impressive stuff, given the lack of modern optics and the unpredictable nature of early rifled barrels.
As far as I know, the Whitworth rifles were hexagonal so as to have the best rifling and fitting possible with the tools available at the time. They were most accurate sniper rifles in the world for some time as far as I know.
Harrisons shot was the second longest shot not the third as for this one the projectile's energy would be next to nothing at that range so show us the body.
@@paulchandler9646 I believe Harrison was the third, an Aussie got the second in 2012 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_recorded_sniper_kills), as for the Whitworth, it was built with light ammunition that could hit a target at a maximum range of 2,000 yards (further than even the 1853 Enfield Rifle), even Queen Victoria when firing the gun for the first time hit a bullseye at 400 yards, if you have any evidence for what you say, I'd be happy to look at it.
@@GimmePaypalKid No, actually I believe Albert Johnson is correct, it was the second longest at 2707 yards. Third place was another Canadian at 2657 yards, fourth place was another Canadian at 2526 yards and fifth place was an American at 2515 yards. As stated, first place was a Canadian at 3871 yards.
I say I believe Albert Johnson is correct, because I did see one site which mentioned the Aussie sniper. I found the information which I provided from four other independent sites however, with exactly the same info as that which I provided.
@@GimmePaypalKid Me again. I looked this up and found out why the Australian sniper is not counted officially. Apparently two Australian snipers took the same shot in concert at the same target, so that increases the likelihood that one of the snipers would hit the target. It is for this reason the Australian sniper is not counted in the official records. Cheers.
Tiny correction. The previous longest shot was done by an Australian sniper from the 2nd Commando Regiment in Afghanistan. Using 12.7mm MP NM140F2 Grade A rounds from a M82 Barrett, that sniper managed to hit a target from 3,079 yards (2,815 meters). This was done two and a half years after Craig's shot.
As someone who does long range shooting, and to help put this into a little more perspective. At that range you'd need to factor in:
bullet velocity,
angle of target to shooter,
wind speed (which at that range would be virtually impossible to calculate),
barometric pressure/air density at altitude,
humidity,
Coriolis effect,
spine drift of the projectile,
transonic stability,
temperature of the air, rifle, and ammo.
Calculating all of those things would take a normal target shooting like 20 minutes.
I don't know the drop of the projectile at 3.5k yards but at 2k the bullet drops over 100 inches
McMillan states that the tac50 can shoot 1/2 moa groups with match ammunition, this means that at 3.5k yards the rifle theoretically can shoot a group of about 18", but because the bullet hits its transonic barrier well before 3k the actual grouping would be much larger.
In short, this is one absurd record that probably won't be broken anytime soon
Some incredible information there.
Can you give us an idea what it would be like to shoot at these distances? Is it pure luck that you would hit?
Would you be able to see the target through the scope?
A U.S sniper was quoted in saying "at these ranges you also have to calculate the curvature of the earth" is this right?
The bullet would have lost a lot of its speed by the time its hit the target, what speed do you think the bullet would be travelling at on impact?
Thanks

or maybe its an extremly lucky shot or didnt happen at all.
Someone with some sense. People trying to say it’s all luck. Or anyone with that info could do it.. you still have to account for flinch, trigger pull, recoil, weather. There is a really good reason you don’t hear of these shots often. Even the ultra long range guys running .408’s or .375 cheytacs are not hitting these shots cold bore, they walk into it. Let alone like you said about the ammo, 50 bmg is not a tier 1 long range round either.
Curvature of the earth, also has to be taken into account.
We are proud of our elite JTF2 who always remain anonymous. They are the cream of our nation. 🇨🇦

Oh fuck yeah bud 🇨🇦
As the father of a serving member of the armed forces for 17 years, I have a lot of respect for all the serving members. I wish our politicians would have the same respect that all Canadians have for our boys and girl in the forces rather than just empty words and BS talk. We have an educated, intelligent and brave army. Canadians have proven themselves in whatever situation they were placed in be it war or peace keeping. It is amazing how other nations have more respect for our army and veterans than our government does.

It’s a skill in Canada, sharpened by the moose hunt every fall.

@@wildrose2748 LOL Saskatchewan? Boom... Miss.....Boom ..Miss Dude Relax have a smoke And a coffee And have another go at him eh?
Thanks. Now I want moose
I'm 70 now and fondly remember growing up with guns and hunting. Never had a BB gun, started with a 22 my dad gave me when I was 10. Me and my buds went out whenever we could to get groundhogs. Local farmers gave us a whopping 25 cents each. Then pheasants, rabbits and worked up from there for bigger game with bigger guns. I feel like I won the life lottery being born and raised in Canada!
Moose is a vulnerable species in most areas now, considering deer or rabbit hunting instead.
I listened to an interview with Rob Furlong, himself a former world record holder for a confirmed long distance kill. In the interview, he remarked that distance kills as this are notable in that they were in combat situations. He said such distances while not routine, are regularly achieved in training in many countries.
Very sobering when you consider that remark.
It should be pointed out that the two longest range kills, 3,540M Canadian and 2,,815 Australian were made with .50 Cal HMG rifles, while Corporal Craig Harrison UK used a much smaller caliber .338 Magnum for his kill at 2,475m. This was a really outstanding effort as the round has an accurate range of only 1,700 meters!
Quick note:
.50 BMG, not .50 HMG. The latter refers to the mounted M2 Browning heavy machine gun
.338 Lapua Magnum or .338 LM, not .338 Magnum. The latter is often used to refer to the hunting cartridge .338 Winchester Magnum. I doubt the Brits would send out soldiers with internally fed hunting rifles instead of the usual L115s or other AWM variants
I like to think every Canadian kill is followed by a rousing, "he shoots, HE SCORES!"
Oh my, that is the best comment yet!
I agree !!!
The American Sniper?
No, the Canadian Sniper.
Us Canadians do produce damned fine shooters!
@@TheWolfsnack We hold 3/5 of the world record sniper shots, plus the top spot out of the 5, so yeah, eh.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 Oh right! Before the 2430m shot way back when in Afghanistan they hit someone at...2000m? Can't remember now. Two records were set within a day or so, no?
All of the shots I could find over 2300 meters were Australian, Canadian, or UK snipers. Not just the record shots either. If you want prolific snipers though you have to got to Finland Sweden and Norway. Simo Hayha for example-500+ confirmed kills in 100 days (+200 using a submachinegun). That said a Royal Marine got 90 confirmed kills in 24 hours once. That must have been one hairy situation.
@@gordonlawrence1448 That goes to show then. All the downplayers that are trying to claim that anyone could have made the shots w/ the technology, but it was the Cdn guy and team that lucked into are full of it. I've been saying there has to be something about our weather, something about being forged in the Canadian arctic that creates better soldiers, certainly snipers. The fact that the best long shot, if not record holders are in sub arctic Scandinavia, just goes to show the arctic connection. I also like to think it has to do w/ consuming the best maple syrup in the world. I'm sure that's the piece de resistance that makes us the best in the world. I'm only half joking, lol.

@@wilfdarr I wish I could have been there to listen to that operator and spotter conversation
Absolutely incredible. This level of skill in both the shot, but particularly the ballistic calculations, goes way beyond what anyone would consider possible.
But hats of to the previous record holder too as he achieved his record with a .338 Lapua, a far smaller & less powerful cartridge than the .50 BMG; both of them demonstrated that 0.00000001% at the top of what humans are capable of. If it was in a work of fiction we would dismiss it as being too far fetched, but they did it for real.
Wow!!!
His spotter is getting pretty popular now. He makes music now
JTF2...so underrated and always quietly operating. I see out of the top 10 longest sniper shots, number 1, 4 and 5 were from Canada with a McMillan Tac-50.. damn
As a Canadian, we naturally hate war and conflict. But also as a Canadian, this is fuckin badass
As a Canadian-American, pretty much every freedom loving citizen hates war (especially those who have served). However they willingly serve because, while freedom isn't free, it's a bargain compared to the alternative.
as a future Canadian, I would like to rewrite these fucking badass history
I’ve never understood this whole “soldiers fight for freedom” bullshit. I always get emotional when it comes to anything with the military. But you can’t tell me it’s fighting for freedom, if it was, they’d be in there respective countries. Like police. Or handling slave trading, sex trading, that kind of stuff. Not killing radical Islamics who control there own country. Ya know?

THe current top ranking is a Brit, Ozzie, Ukrainian and 3 Canadians in the top 6 long range kills. When asked the now 6th ranking Canadian Furlong said it was not unheard of in Canadian sniper school to hit targets at over 3000 meters. As I understand it unlike American snipers Canadian snipers return to sniper school regularly for refreshers. Other than the top Canadian the other two had been provided from a Canadian regular regiment as sniper support for the American 10th mountain Division. Each regiment has it own sniper squad.
I was the army logistics officer responsible at our Canadian "National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ)" assisting the army's Directorate of Land Requirements (DLR) to acquire a number of "sniper" systems for active field test and evaluation (T&E) to narrow down a prospective suitable sniper system candidate for follow-on, active army procurement and fielding. As their was (and still is) a high number of sniper systems to "examine", the task was onerous and technically difficult as the DLR process evolved. There was no life like it.

There was a book released a few years back, writer is in prison now, about Canada's JTF2, "We Were Invincible", and these guys are hardcore, though the book implies they pushed the soldiers too hard initially and dialed it down since. They were founded and trained by ex-SAS and Delta, and the secrecy around that unit made it so there basically were no rules; Steroids, creatine, hormones, whatever could make the soldiers faster and stronger... Caused tons of psych issues, but probably yielded the best possible soldiers. I doubt these practices have continued, but I have no doubt the JTF2 operators remain amongst the most dedicated and competent individuals in the world.
Canadian troops are awesome.

They don’t practice THESE kinds of long shots all the time. The Canadian military doesn’t even have a shooting range that goes that far. Most long range shooting is out to 800m. Past that point it’s all math and control anyways.
@@kwharrison6668 We got plenty. But assaulter courses for JTF2 training are done in the Blackwater training center in South Carolina. They do far shots, but not THAT far. Nowhere does, it's an insane distance. Edit: Trained in an american facility BY CANADIAN TRAINERS.
A correction needs to be made. News reported the incorrect ammunition being used. Officially Canadian snipers use the 750 hornady amax loaded by one of three vendors, the two most often are hornady and general dynamics. Unofficially Canadian snipers ditch their 750 amax for the lake city loaded amax as its decently hotter. Horse trading between jtf2 and American force recon /navy seals is rather common place as even Canada’s top tier snipers has troubles sourcing some of the latest gear. A previous record holder, Rob Furlong of the Canadian ppcli was confirmed to have been using horse traded ammo
That's not a surprise. We were trading with the USMC and Rangers back in my days. In the PPCLI it's kind of like "if it works use it!" especially in Recce Platoon.
Cheers Canada. Always a pleasure to fight alongside side you 🇬🇧🏴🇨🇦
My cousin was a member of JTF2. They are great warriors. They do what they do for peace . Cousin was also a sniper ... he recently retired and now trains military personnel. ❤

Bravo Zulu guys. Professionals, quietly doing their job. I am very proud to have served. 🇨🇦
thank you
This is one of the reasons why Canadian forces are the most respected and feared on any battlefield anywhere. The main one however is that we are extremely fair and principled in our application of force.
the most respected? lol no they arent the MOST respected canada has nothing on the US
JTF 2 is a little terrifying. Proud of you lads maybe I’ll become one of you some day🇨🇦
As a Canadian myself, I am proud.
"That was a nice shot, eh?" "Fuck yeah dude"
I have met a Ghurkha sniper and we chatted about this shot. He was full of admiration for him.
The Ghurkha said his best shot was just over 1.5km. When I asked him what he was aiming at, he just said "I hit my target."
"Man, I wish we could call in a drone strike on theses guys." "Hang on. Jerry! You busy?!"
Officer: What happened to your target?
Solider: gone... reduced to atoms
Nah, even the atoms got ripped in half
@@angeliqueturner123 the mushroom could was pretty tho
His head went boom
The scopes and rifles they have must be phenomenal. Anyone who has done long distance shooting knows how even the most minor of movements will move the reticule off of the target. Amazing shot for the sniper team, not so much for the recipient.
If you watch the interview with one of the spotters Dallas Alexander (Prick, fuck him, betrayed his unit by doing the interview) he talks about how they used basically...prisms. Like a triangle block of specially focused glass. So you tilted the rifle UP, with this on your scope, the reticule was basically on the target using precise machined math. Fired up in the air. Shits nuts.
Imagine waiting TEN seconds for a bullet to travel a vast distance and hit it's target. That is insane skill.
Some of the best shooters in WW2 were Metis (Native/French Canadians) Also on a side note They were the most valued for Interacting with the French during the Normandy landings As the Germans cut off phone wires And changed the street signs The French speaking troops were able to find German traps and locations from the people that lived there And also used a Native code that the Germans could not break Made famous by the Americans in the movie "Wind talkers" of the Natives in the pacific end of the war However The Canadian Cree and Metis served for both US and Canadian troops on the front lines Helping the Canadians push to be the first to clear all objectives on the Normandy beaches under fire from bunkered down SS troops and Armor Along with 88mm guns. Grandfather being one of those men That went on to teach men after the war on tatics Used by himself And the enemy
Mm?
Some of the best shooters in Canadian history were in WW1. There were several skilled snipers of Indigenous and Metis descent in that war. The most noticeable being Francis Pegahmagabow, who had 378 confirmed kills and captured 300 enemy soldiers, making him the deadliest sniper in Canadian and WW1 history
@@emerybonner7973 Hard Facts!~
@@emerybonner7973 absolutely! And then after him there was Tommy Prince. Both of those men should be on our money in my opinion.
Same with Ojiway and many nations
A Newfoundlander / Canadian Rob Furlong also held this record for some time!
I met him before his deployment. A great guy by anyones standards!
He's #3 now I believe? I saw his rifle at our museum here in St. John's NFLD when his record was first announced (#1 at that time). Beautiful rifle.
He's an RCMP Constable now, which is really cool. Very proud of him being a Newfoundlander! Our regiment has produced some damn fine soldiers since WW1. (The only regiment to get the Royal label from the kind during WW1. It was a HUGE deal)
Mash709 im from NL, did not know his gun was here? Is it at the rooms ? Very cool
@@709mash He was never RCMP. He was with Edmonton Police Services and was dismissed from the police for discreditable conduct (pissed on a fellow officer)
I recommend going on google maps and looking up a place 3.5km away it’s friggin crazy
it was "only" 3.5km tho

We consider hunting Springbok in the Kalahari at 350 meters an insane distance. Hitting a target at 10 times that distance? Respect to the team. Respect.
Back in 2017, I was a student of the father of the soldier who made the shot. The first morning he came in after talking to his son, he just went on for 30 min about how proud he was but couldn't talk about it! He was already pretty crazy on a regular basis but after that, he just kept refering to himself and all of us as King Cobras. We were studying car mechanics and he was doing monolgues about doing cocaine on the dashboard before his classes. Greatest teacher ever, Daniel KingCobra.
*Canadian sniper after obliterating that insurgent and sending him to hell already* : sorry eh!
Thats better than the f word i guess.
So basically it was an artillery shot. 10 seconds requires a lot of elevation angle I imagine.
Yeah, I didn't think the .50 was a favored sniper round. It's an awful lot of mass. I wonder about the elevation as well the longer it's in the air the less accurate it becomes.
they are using a s&b 5-25x scope, from what I read online, standard 20 moa scope base is not enough downward cant for 3.5km. target is not visible with 25x zoom. either they have more exotic scope mount or they are not using max zoom. skill, quality of equipment, and luck is all needed to achieve this shot
The McMillan TAC-50 can get a round up to similar speeds as out of an M2 machine gun, meaning it has an effective point target range of at least 1500 meters, with a maximum range of 5 miles, requiring 45 degrees barrel inclination from level. ~3 km means somewhere around 1.75 miles. It’ll get there, it just takes very precise calculations and some luck to put it thetr.
I heard that buddy had to have extra tall mounts for his scope, just so that he could look at the target without the end of the barrel getting in the way. Lobbed, yes, but one hell of a shot eh?
especialy with a that big of a bullet right
Ten bucks says he won a case of beer on that shot
and some bc kush
Multiple, I'd buy him a beer on sight.
I can second that
50 bucks says he won a 24 on that shot buddy
Having a friend that is a retired JTF2 soldier I can tell you the stories he tells me (the ones he is allowed to talk about) are crazy! They are low key and try to stay out of the spotlight for good reason! More action than bragging..
I work with a guy now who is ex Austrian Jagdkommando sniper, his stories are nuts
Shawn Ryan put out an interview with a spotter who was there when it happened. It was actually two teams operating out of the same hide. Two snipers shot within half a second of each other. But they have no idea which of the two sniper's actually made the hit lol. Guy's name is Dallas Alexander

Congrats JTF2, awesome shot! Epic. Big respect from Brazil.
Much respect to ALL of the friendly forces from a proud Canadian.
Real life snipers: waited for several days for the right shot
Call of duty snipers: woo, quick scope quad feed no scope nuke
Nothing but respect and love for our military personnel!
It is no wonder that among Specialists JTF2 is considered better than similar Groups of practically any other NATO country, including US, France or UK. While comparatively not very numerous, even Americans in Afghanistan acknowledged that they would often choose JTF2 over SEALS when the mission was very difficult or challenging. Obviously that also depended on Mission profile. At this range the bullet loses so much of it's energy (that's why even my favorite .338 Lapua Magnum wouldn't be very dangerous, not to mention lethal at this range) that it travels at such angle that it more resembles shooting someone directly below you than someone in front. I personally wonder if specialized 14.5mm bullet could beat it. Because that is basically maximum possible range at which the .50 BMG can be still lethal. Heck a lot of energy comes from Gravitational acceleration. JTF2 snipers aren't just snipers, they are basically small caliber artillery :D . With love to every SOF Operator in the World.
Its a much overused expression I know, but that really was some "awesome" shooting guys, well done indeed.
JTF truly are a tier 1 unit.
Just like every other tier 1 unit
Charlie Barnett Not every other tier 1 unit is hitting shots 3.5 kilometres away. The previous record was a kilometre less than that. That’s a pretty big leap, bud.
Logan Davidson he is canadian
@@JesusFriedChrist yet to make shot a lot of factors have to come right even for the best snipers in the world.
I am sure if other snipers tried to hit that shot in combat they would have a high chance succeeding aswell if the parameters are the exact same
@@JesusFriedChrist others dont hit those shots because most of the time the situation simply doesnt allow it and also it is not the effective range to shoot at.
As a sniper you need to hit your target with the first shot preferably which is hard todo consistent at those range
Thanks for taking our requests into consideration. Love the awesome content
Truly amazing shot. 10 seconds of flight time.... Unreal!

Hit by a .50cal, I would guess there wasn't a lot left.
@kev french Nah dude, he's right. 22 won't make much of a mess as it's designed to tumble after penetration. .300 WM, maybe a bit mess but certainly won't tear your average fighter apart like a .50 BMG. No need to be an ass about it. If you're wrong, you're wrong.
Well it had been travelling for 3500m before hitting the target, so it probably lost upwards of 90% of its kinetic energy. Still lethal, as we see here, but I doubt it's ripping limbs off
@kev french Jesus man, relax.
@kev french who hurt you?
@kev french weird way of describing yourself.
The spotters calculation was spot on! Puns apart his calculations were crucial to have landed the bullet on the spot! He should get kudos just as much or maybe more! He was a human super computer!
Its teamwork. Always in the military its teamwork
I remember my history teacher saying the Germans were scared of Canadians because we all grew up shooting and hunting and were good marksmen because of it.
More so than the Americans according to my grandfather (UK special infantry as opposed to special forces).
damn my history teacher said the same stuff too and said we are the world's best sharpshooters
My grandfather was a hunter as most were in the 40's, told us stories of shooting moose as a kid and climbing in to gut them. after ww2 he would just say that "he was a good shot"
I am a irish man free up shooting ilegail of course like shooting targets far away but have to give it to the Canadians the best and respect to the old red feeder sniper led their own in world war two ...respect
@@highbrass7777 I hear u highbrass but I think if it comes to it there are a lot of Canadian hunters myself included who are good shots and are used to taking long range shots here in the high prairie some of my hunting buddies have taken animals at 1000 yards.
