One Klick Drop

Hat tip to Harry S. for sending this along...

Sergeant Herbert B. Hancock, USMC, just received credit for the longest confirmed sniper kill in Iraq: 1,050 yards. With a 7.62mm. Zowie. His instrument of choice, however, is somewhat different from that of the other Herbie Hancock.

Notice also the precise fire for effect from the battalion mortars that killed the remaining active targets. OOOH-RAH, 81's!

As a sidenote, his unit, 1/23, is based out of Houston, down on Old Spanish Trail. So much for the media's whining about incompetent reservists.
