TIL that the longest known sniper kill occurred in 2017. A member of the Canadian special forces smoked an ISIS fighter at 3,871 yards, which is over 2 miles.

I swear a Canadian had held the previous record way back in Afghanistan. I think he clocked in at just over 2 klicks. I wonder if this is the same dude.

EDIT: Just looked it up. Different guy. A Canadian corporal held the record at 2,657 yd from 2002 to 2009.
