    I Had No Idea A Machine Gun Could Do This

    The Brits outfitted a .50 Cal. Browning machine gun with a “special sight” and pinged an ISIS commander addressing his troops at over a mile with one shot. Blew his arm and shoulder off.

    Should have flipped to automatic and sprayed the camp while the first shot was on the way.

    From a helicopter? I'm sure skill was involved but I'd also guess luck played a part.

    I think the only connection between the helicopter and the article was the photo of a 50 cal barrel

    The gun used for this shot was mounted on a stationary vehicle.

    I read that and Joe, I'm with you he should have dumped some more rounds into the crowd. When we kill them from seemingly no where it's got to be hell on their psyche.
