Supergun that kills from a mile

[djleisure]

Short, but interesting read on British snipers using the L115A3 Long Range Rifle.

[69Mach1]

fires 8.59mm rounds

What is an 8.59 mm round? 338 lapua?

[CSACANNONEER]

Dumb brits. Just look on a box of .22lr, they are dangerous to 1 1/2 miles!

[lazuris]

Yes thats the AI 338 LM

[Trench Broom]

I hear they have to fire rounds inches bigger than the last just to keep up with barrel corrosion

Imagine launching a VW bug 75 miles away!

But will a 40gr bullet even pierce skin after 1.5 miles? Or will it do as much damage as someone shooting a spit ball at the back of your head at point blank range?
