It's hard to say what is the worst thing about this article. It could be that it's totally made up and without any sort of fact behind it. A 'source' - the sas would not report on their missions and objectives. Secondly the sas generally don't use Barrett.50's. They tend to use L118's. Could it also be that 1500 is quite a distance. In fact it would put it around one of the top ten confirmed kill distances in the world since they began keeping records. Gotta keep selling this rag though and giving the idiots of England something to wave their st George's cross over

Lowestoflow - you are another classic DM armchair warrior. The British military had Barretts as far back as Op Telic in Iraq. The L118 is a rifle for another purpose.

If he was giving a speech before a mass execution, they would have been filming it.... And yet... not a single frame is shown... I'm suspicious of this story, because the video would have been released on underground sites as propaganda - and I've not seen it nor heard about it...

Well if the executioner and his henchmen were blown up, maybe the recording device was too.

You missed the line "also killing three other ISIS members who were ready to film the execution".

Depends whether it was an incendiary round as they are easily available in 50 cal .... you may have mouthed off too soon .....

It has a pilot flame used to ignite the inflammable contents of the fuel tank as it is emerges from the nozzle. It is quite possible that this would cause it to ignite. This weapon also fires a tracer round.

That is one HELL of a shot with a 50 cal at 1500m. That's 5 football fields end to end. Probably more luck than judgement to hit the fuel tanks,but never let fact stand in the way of a good story......

For the SAS no trouble. The World record is well over twice that distance.

Try reading Sniper One by Sgt Dan Mills. You might learn a bit about British Army snipers capabilities. He could probably have put a round in the targets head if he had wanted to.

God is watching YOU, Jennie, and I doubt God wants any one of his creation rolling about in pain. That's a weird thing to wish for, whether you consider yourself a God-fearing religious practitioner or not.

Any names,? dates,? who was the "executioner" ? if he was on the list what was his name ? Any interviews from the "hostages" ? Who were they,? What were their names,?... I can't believe so many people just believe what they are told, without asking any questions. This is a complete non story, tell us the one about the female rookie who took down 200 isis, with just a pair of hair curlers.

FYI, paranoia can be treated nowadays. Not cured, mind you, but treated to allow you to live a normal life Null. On the other hand, if you happen to be a lawyer, then never mind.

Yet they ignore the ISIS command structure in Washington DC. They strike at the tail while ignoring the venomous head of the snake.
