http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1273679/Gone-28-seconds-Rapid-sniper-takes-Taliban-soldiers-protect-British-patrol.html Stuck the last sniper post in the Afghanistan post, thought I'd put this one out here. The last one caused confusion with the Shooting Forums. Glad to see they sorted out the PERSEC this time.

Am hardly the military expert, or maybe reading it wrong, but did the article say it took 9 shots to get his first target?

It does. I think he was well outside his max range so I suspect he had to put a good few shots in before he got on target. After that, he was set up.
