I’ve been noticing that The Atlantic has been publishing a lot of pro-rightwing articles the last month or so. Now comes a Newsweek article that isn’t sneering at the celebration that a British sniper has blown the chest out of an ISIS commander from a mile away.
Maybe because it was a British sniper?
Or are these lefty sites figuring out that most people are only glad to see ISIS killed in spectacular fashion?
The feat was pulled off with a 40 year-old .50 caliber Browning.
SNIPER SHOOTS ISIS FIGHTER DEAD FROM OVER ONE MILE AWAY WITH 40-YEAR-OLD GUN
Newsweek-
“It took several seconds for the round to hit the commander who appeared to fly into several pieces. For a few seconds no-one moved. When they realised what had happened they got up and ran away,” the source explained.
According to sources familiar with the operation, the sergeant had to take into account the wind speed and the heat of the day, as well as intense light. The view of the target was described as “quite watery” through the gun’s scope, due to the heat coming off the ground.
“The .50 Cal has got a phenomenal range and is very accurate even though it is almost 40 years old,” the source said. “It can be fired on single shot. The sniper fitted a special sight to the machine gun and got a spotter to estimate the wind speed.”
Barry Hussein would have warned them first.
Obama is losing his sons left and right.
Nice shot BTW
These British marksmen/snipers are terrific !! I wonder what they think about all the gutless and politically correct MPs, and all the Muslim mayors back in the UK who are undermining their stellar work ??
Ma Deuce, killing terrorists since 1933.
Hey Hey Now, I call foul.
When do the American & Canadian
Lads get to shoot ???
Browning designed magnificent weapons! Nice shot. Is there a video?
Wow. Powerful ammo over a big distance.
Newsweek is okay with snipers now that Trump is President.
Barry Hussein would have insisted on being in the situation room and killed him via drone.
Barry has a little bit of Vlad the V of Walachia in him…
Not sure what they mean by “almost 40 years old;” do they mean the specific rifle used? I don’t see it specified. If they mean the cartridge, the .50BMG is quite a bit older than that.
Or are they saying a scope was fitted to a Ma Deuce? It’s been around a lot longer too.
And what the hell’s wrong with being almost 40 years old? I only wish!
Newsweek will follow this article with an editorial about how we have to ban .50 caliber “sniper rifles” that no one can use for hunting.
Remember: “A leopard never changes his stripes” or something like that.
Newsweek? Wasn’t that a magazine once? Just another dodge to try and con people who are much smarter than Newsweek thinks they are.
Sorry slime bags it won’t work.
Sounds like Snooze Week is starting to feel the declining sales to the conservative types who actually work and spend money on their lame rag.
There have been a lot of advancements made to the .50BMG round over the last twenty years or so, and I’m talking some awesome shit like shooting though a brick wall then exploding on the back side.
The .50 Caliber has been made into a sniper rifle with a 20 shot magazine, it is called M 107.
Winning; the euphoric condition it creates is attractive even to the brain-dead!
Obama
Etwas not a rifle – it was a machine gun!~
I BTW have more than once been on the receiving end of ChiCOm 50 cals. Guy charging net to me took a round in the head. Looked over at a headless body falling. Lots of blue grey jello on the deck..(what had been his brain!). Had I had anything to eat that lat 2 days it would have bee on the deck. Had “dry heaves” as I want to send his killer to “meet his maker!”!
Why not refer to constitutionalists as centrists? Right down the center of The Constitution.

Well, a Canadian soldier bagged the record for longest sniper kill a couple years ago. There are still men in the UK and Canada able and willing to kill terrorists. God bless ’em.
