THIS SNIPER KILLED THIS SUISIDE BOMBER FROM 1500 YARDS
HIT HIM RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH HIS 50 CALIBER.
NOTICE THE C4 BELT HE IS WARING.
MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE HIT THE C4 BELT THEN THERE WOULD BE NO PICTURE.

Well, "C4" inside pouches looks like AK mag corners to me.
And there is no wires.
1500yds, right between eyes with M82? Yeah, sure.
File name is IRAQLONGSHOT1500YARDS50CAL -but upper pic is taken somewhere in Balkans- and lower doesent look like desert either.
"KFOR" stands for "Kosovo Force" in case You didnt know.

Bullshit, almost as pathetic try as mall ninja story was.


P.S.
Bullet impact doesent detonate C4.
Incendiary might set in on fire, but sill no explosion.
Not sure what would happen with Raufoss MP.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

Looks cool and all that but the vest the bad guy is wearing is an AK mag pouch. The vests tend to be a little more"engineered" than the one in the photo.

Another glaring problem is the KFOR on the Hummvee. It is from operations in Kosovo. I can say that the picture of the guy holding the Barrett looks like a typical European countryside like Yugoslavia.

Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

The pics of that muj have been around a long time, and the dude up top isn't the guy that killed him, nor was it with a Barrett.

Fallujah, early 2004.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

Hey guys you know a lot than I do about it I was not in the service I was at home building air craft and rockets for you all for 45 years. this was just sent to me today in an email.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

The pic of the person with his head blown apart came from a very nasty site called rotten.com its been around awhile....
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

yeah no way you could ace a dude with that SWS at that range. having said that, I wonder what hit him to make his head come apart like that. Pretty Cool.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

that pic has been on the net for a few years,if the(sniper) is in the sandbox wheres the sand and why is he wearing woodland camo I call B.S. on this one
 
Old pic of dead hadji

Photo's been out so long I forgot what split his melon.
Looks like his cabesa was blown while he was lying there on the ground-odd that he'd fall from standing and have the majority of grey matter right there.
I say he was shot with a high velocity weapon shortly after he was freshly dead..........

</div></div>

That's all I needed to read to know this was BS......... The only way he could have hit this guy "right between the eye's" with a Barret M107 (probably XM107) or M82, whichever he is holding, is buy accident.

It would have been more believable if the quote said "Sniper aims at a truck 1500 yards away, and misses, but instead hits this guy right between the eyes by PURE luck"......... Definitely would have been more believable! Any body who has shot these weapons at long range will know what I am talking about.....
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

Yup...more mall ninja bullshit.

Those are two completely unrelated photos having nothing to do with a confirmed kill from a sniper rifle. (Not to mention the EXTREMELY unlikely...if not impossible...nature of a head shot with an M82A1 from 1,500yds). The soldier pictured is/was a member of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Div. out of the PA Army Nat'l Guard. He is not a sniper and was never stantioned in Iraq or anywhere close.

The dead insurgent pictured was killed in Mosul by members of the Iraqi Nat'l Guard after he and six of his now-deceased pals opened fire on the Guard unit.

Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

and how about posting NSFW in the title.seen more than enough as pointed out above in the real world. this type of post should always have NSFW (NOT SAFE FOR WORK)attached to it.one of the kids could be right next to you. how the fuck do you explain that to them. think about what your posting!
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

Yeah i've never seen the pic, the story is obviously BS, and as stated previously by someone else it kinda does look like he was shot when he was down... otherwise there wouldn't be a spray around his head and shoulders. Weird. Im sure a forensics person would know, I am not one.

Also i don't relish in pictures of gore, but i am happy that every time i see one it symbolizes another terrorist off the streets not killing innocent civilians and our military brothers and sisters.

If I had to take a guess, I would say that someone ran over this guy's head with a tank or something after he was already dead.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

Does this mean today we're also going to have someone post the rodents being shot as ".50 BMG takes out Taliban in Afghanistan hills" video?

I have some pretty gruesome videos of people going from live to dead, up close, and in colour. They were sent to me by others by the way. I vids like that what they are -- snuff films. It has never occurred to me to post them on this site and personally I think they appeal to people with a screw loose. I rank enjoying such sights right up there with hurting puppies and other sick shit. Please take a moment to evaluate yourself.

JMO.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

anyone who has ever seen someone shot with a 50, knows that this poor bastard was NOT shot with a 50, especialy that piece of shit barret.

Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

damn man, throw a heads up in the subject line for a warning, my gf was sitting on my lap and did not want to see that at all and neither did I.
 
Re: US SNIPER AT WORK IRAQ 50 CALIBER

Well looks like everyone pretty much said it. I have seen a gory photo/video posted here now and then. They are usually reposts with a diffrent title, and totally un-necessary. This is an information based site. Not a "hey, look at this dead guy" site. Lots of the folks here, myself included, have seen dead guys, and gals, and kids, and DONT NEED TO SEE ANY MORE. Also, if there is one thing to learn about the internet, 99% of the Youtube, Ogrish, Rotten, Break.com (ect) pics and videos with "Sniper in action" as the attention getter are usually bullshit.

That being said, I could do that much damage if I load the .22LR SLAP rounds that I have. Dont need a .50.
