But will give credit where credit is due, they did use American Ammunition, the stuff our government issued did not have enough power. The Canadian .50-calibre rounds have a maximum range of between 2,200 and 2,300 metres while the American rounds have better ballistic qualities and overall range.
Incorrect, my company sold 750 GR AMAX 50 cal rounds, and Aaron Perry, an..aquaintance..of mine was the person who made the shot. He later was "disciplined", as it was seen in the media, for collecting "trophies" from the dead Taliban fighters. I have held in my hand an ammo link from the Russian made gun mounted on the truck where this shot was made.
Also, this hasn't officially broken yet, but the "blended metal" ammunition thread reminded me of a "rumour, cough". JTF2 (Canadian Socom troops) has scored a 3500 meter plus kill with .50 cal blended metal rounds recently, it'll be in a magazine article this month sometime.
