Are those the one that turn rag-heads into ragdolls and red vapor?

Yes - that video. The snipers are our good friends from the north, Canadians.

I have seen this more than once, at first glance, I wasnt sure what I was witnessing,,,, it soon became clear.
Devastating impacts!

I had a converstaion with a Sergeant while visiting CFB Petawawa in August of 2005 who chums with a sniper that has a confirmed kill of 2.8 KM....now that's reaching out and touchin' someone!

I can tell you based on my own experience with the 50 BMG those are not 50 BMG FMJ bullets or it something bigger that 50 BMG...I suspect something bigger

One video that was in circulation that "showed" the ragheads in Afghaninstan being blow to bits was a fake. It was rockchucks or similar being hit with the bench style rifles in the big 7mms, 30s and 338s.

Thanks for the video.

From the video I cannot tell whether the targets are human. Perhaps rockchucks? Also, the level of power is so overwhelming to the target that I doubt it is a 50 BMG on a human. Perhaps a 20 mm explosive round on a human, or else a 22-250 on rockchucks. ??

There was a Australian Reporter sent to Afgan who spent time with an American team , She spoke about the sniper rifle they had and that even when te round hit close to the target, it would still do major damage.

OzHunter Mate!

Tracey Curio repeated what she was told, that "even a miss by 5 feet passing by would kill the man by shockwave."

Or something like that.

They were seeing what the media twit would believe and report to the world.

Similar to what the media were told in the Vietnam War, that the 5.56 was more powerful than a 7.62 and if hit in the arm the round would tear your arm clean off at the shoulder.

We had a thread discussion on Tracey's comments here in the past.

I have a series of short videos in a file of a .5 single shot McMillan or some other rifle, being used on prairie dogs. Yes, it's devestating, but then so's a .25/06.
: I'm wondering if this is similar to the one's being shown above?
: As to the media, they sometimes aren't any smarter than the polititions. One Federal Cabinet minister we had, told us that AR15's had to be prohitited because you could hide one up your sleeve. Obviously, she was told to say this to scare people who were just as stupid as she was.
