Sorry about the long gun comment, but it is not carry it is use.

It seems there is news on a new record sniper kill in Afghanistan made by Corporal of the Horse Craig Harrison, a British Soldier, while he was protecting his commander from a Taliban machine gun position. His Cdr had his vehicle disabled and Harrison had the high ground using an L115A3 in .338 lapua
According to an article on the recent record shot from the UK’s Sky News, Harrison fired his shots over 1.5 miles (8,120 ft.) and killed the two bad guys in two shots. He fired a third shot to disable the machine gun.
Way to go Harrison.
