Reach out and touch someone!
Two kilometers??? Wasn’t that one famous American Sniper’s big record something like a kilometer and a half?
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Distance is irrelevant, AFU will find U.
Just wondering on the ability to hit the soldier with the crosshair on the soldier instead of elevated to account for bullet drop. The sniper could be in an elevated position or maybe the bullet drop isn’t that large at that distance. To be fair my entire knowledge of bullet drop and elevation comes from games such as Squad and Arma which make an attempt to be lifelike but may have flaws in terms of bullet drop, distance, etc.
Long range shooter here.
The flight time would be about 1.9 seconds, which would mean an *average* velocity of 3,475 feet per second over the whole distance. This means it would leave the barrel at well over that velocity. There’s no detail on what caliber they are shooting, but the only rifle calibers effective at that range are the 12.7mm x 108mm used by rifles like the Snipex Alligator or the 12.7mm x 114mm used in the Horizon’s Lord rifle of recent fame.
The 12.7mm x 108mm has a maximum velocity of 2,890 FPS and the 12.7mm x 114mm has a maximum velocity of 3,300 FPS. Neither would be able to achieve an average velocity above that.
Also, the elevation correction on the tallest scope mount available for both rifles would require the shooter to look through the barrel to see the target or hold on a random point in the sky and to dial in that kind of elevation would be beyond ehat any optic is capable of. In this video we can see the recoil and the alleged target impact, so it is presumably recorded by the shooter.
Additionally, the recoil at that significant of a shooting angle makes it nearly impossible to keep sight picture on the target as shown here.
Lastly, at the alleged 2013m, there would be way more mirage unless shooting from an elevated position and even the highest power 80x multiplication scope, human-sized targets wouldn’t be that large and scopes that high powered don’t hold a zero that accurately if subjected to the harsh conditions of war.
These things considered, I am highly skeptical that the distance claimed is accurate based on this video.
