New sniper rifle used in Afghanistan.
U.S. Troops use a super long shot sniper rifle to kill hiding Taliban members.

*WARNING* Not safe for children! LOL
The bullet has some pretty dramatic effects on the human body at close range. Watching the video I would say every one of those targets were at ranges of 750-1000 meters (820-1094 yards). That's close range for a .50-cal. We a talking about a bullet that is a 1/2 inch in diameter and 2-1/4 inches in length with a total cartridge length of 5-1/2 inches.

ummm.. Taliban members. Real people. They were hiding in the terrian. In the first kill you can actually see the person moving around before being shot.
