The AMU presents a WWII Sniper with a reproduction 1903A4, and then lets him take a crack at the 1000 yard target. Yeah they set the rifle up, but the Veteran holds up his end of the bargain and gets some pretty impressive head shots.

It's amazing, his first shot at 1000 yards is a headshot. That'll cause a headache.

In other sniper related news, back in 2009 Craig Harrison claimed the record for longest confirmed kill at 2706 yards. Unbelievable. 8,118 feet away. I can't even wrap my brain around that. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-05-03/news/27063420_1_afghan-soldiers-sniper-helmand-province
