An insight into Canadian Army sniper training.

Wow. If the young men bring The Tank, they might be almost virtually semi-unstoppable on the 4th Tuesday of the month!

You rock, Cananada!!! (sic)

Most Canadians would say that.

Americans would say American snipers are the best.

Germans would say German snipers are the best.

See a pattern?

In reality, certain sniper squads are best in certain situations, and certain snipers are better than others in certain situations. There is no overall "best" because once you attain this level of mastery you are for all intents and purposes a precise, lethal weapon of war.

Doesn't prove anything besides that Rob Furlong holds the (publicly known) record for longest confirmed kill.

But the Wikipedia article does note that the effective range of the rifle was 600m greater than normal due to the unique environment, and it still took three shots.

He missed 2 times! I guess he went for the head shot those 2 times.

One miss, one hit (on his bag) and one for a kill. At that range, despite the environment, it`s still an incredible shot. The round was just able to fly further, it wasn`t any easier to aim.

Reduce the noise in their immediate area, and make it harder to trace the location of the shooter?

just seems a little odd. Usually using a .50 cal for very long distance or to take out armor, so reducing muzzle velocity with a silencer doesn't seem like the greatest idea.
