What is the longest killshot ever made?
The longest killshot ever made, and I suppose you mean by a hand-held weapon, would be 2,475 m (2,707 yd). This record was set by Craig Harrison, a British sniper, who successfully eliminated 2 Taliban machine gunners in Afghanistan. He used an L115A3 Long Range Rifle to accomplish this feat. During an interview with BBC, he noted that it took his spotter, along with himself, about nine shots to range the targets. His next shot hit, and killed, the first target. I attained most of this information from Wikipedia. Just look up "Craig Harrison." Hope this helps.
