Harrison是英國皇家騎兵隊的一名資深狙擊手,去年11月,他在阿富汗南部的一場遭遇戰中,利用一支L115A3型遠程步槍,在2475米之外精準“秒殺”兩名塔利班武裝分子,解救了一名深陷重圍的英軍指揮官。
Harrison的子彈當時以超音速3倍的速度飛行,而能夠在如此遠的距離命中目標,其概率還不到百萬分之一!令人不可思議的是,直到Harrison日前回到英國之後,他才知道自己創造了新的“最遠射殺世界紀錄”,比加拿大狙擊手羅布‧福爾隆8年前創造的紀錄多出了45米。
Harrison駐阿富汗作戰多年。去年11月,他與戰友乘坐一輛敞篷的“Jackal”四驅攻擊偵察車,巡邏在阿富汗南部山區。忽然,一陣密集的槍聲從身後傳來,原來,Harrison所在部隊的戰地指揮官安德魯‧吉利耐克中了埋伏,遭到潛伏的塔利班武裝分子攻擊。
此時,Harrison身處一道山脊之上,他環顧了一下地形,發現塔利班分子隱藏在遠處的一個工事之內。他迅速架起狙擊槍,開始了瞄準。隨著一聲槍響,一名塔利班分子應聲倒地。緊接著又一聲槍響,另一名塔利班分子命喪當場。至此,對方槍聲宣告“熄火”。
Harrison的射擊距離被GPS(全球定位係統)精確無誤地測量了出來,達到了史無前例的8120英尺(2475米),但當時他對自己的成績渾然不覺。
Harrison後來回憶道:“那兩名武裝分子各持一把PKM機關槍,朝我方指揮官的戰車猛烈掃射。那天的天氣太完美了,沒有風,氣候溫和,能見度高。我將手中狙擊槍的雙腳支架立起來,當時的距離已經超出最大射程。但是,我的第一發子彈就命中了對方機關槍手的腹部,他直挺挺地倒下,一動不動。第二發子彈命中對方槍手的側面,他同樣當場倒地,氣絕身亡。”
Harrison所持的L115A3型遠程步槍係英軍迄今射程最遠、火力最強勁的狙擊槍,其子彈口徑為8.59毫米,最大飛行時速相當於音速的3倍,有效射程可達4921英尺(1500米)以上,可一旦超過這一距離,通常只能達到“干擾敵軍”的效力。據測算,從Harrison的子彈出膛,到命中目標,將近3秒鐘。而在射擊距離如此之遠的情況下,風速和子彈重力都將改變子彈的軌道,哪怕稍有偏差,就將“差之毫釐,失之千釐”。
軍事專家經測算認為,從2475米之外擊中目標,其成功的幾率不到百萬分之一。

CPL Craig Harrison
Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, a British Army sniper, now holds the record for the farthest shot (1.5 miles), which took down two Taliban gunmenn in Afghanistan.
A British soldier dubbed the Silent Assassin has broken a distance record after taking down two targets from a mile and a half away.
Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, a
British Army sniper, killed two
Taliban machine gunners in
Afghanistan from a distance of 8,120 feet,
Sky News reported.
"The first round hit a machine gunner in the stomach and killed him outright. He went straight down and didn"t move," the 35-year-old said of the incident, which took place in November 2009.
"The second insurgent grabbed the weapon and turned as my second shot hit him in the side. He went down, too. They were both dead."
Harrison was nearly 3,000 feet beyond the effective range of his British-built L115A3 Long Range Rifle.
The powerful weapon is reportedly only effective up to 4,921 feet, the
Daily Mail reported, which is less than a mile.
"Conditions were perfect, no wind, mild weather, clear visibility," Harrison said, according to Sky News.
The father of one child from
Gloucestershire in Southwest England pulled off the impressive shots while protecting his commanding officer and several Afghan soldiers, who were on patrol when they were attacked in the
Helmand Province.
The sniper"s shots broke a record previously held by
Cpl. Rob Furlong, a
Canadian Forces soldier, who in 2005 killed an
Al Qaeda gunman from about 7,972 feet away.
Sgt. Brian Kremer of the
United States Army held the record in 2004 with a shot in
Iraq that struck its target from about 7,545 feet.

那兩個塔利班 路人A&B
中彈的時候 還沒聽到槍聲(= =)
2.5km....有多遠?!?!
自己測量一下!!!
