Canadian sniper kills IS militant from 3,540 metres, breaks record

A member of Canadian Joint Task Force 2, the country’s elite special forces, has broken the world record for a confirmed kill shot, firing from a huge distance of 3,540 metres, the Canadian Armed Forces confirmed on Thursday. The shooting killed an Islamic State militant in Iraq within the last month, and it took the bullet around 10 seconds to hit the militant, they reportedly said. Earlier, British sniper Craig Harrison, who shot a Taliban gunner in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province from 2,475 metres in 2009, held the record.
