INCREDIBLE SHOT: BRIT DISPATCHES TWO TALIBAN WITH ONE ROUND…….

Feel good story of the day. As the old saying goes, “two flies with one swat”. Kudos to the brave men fighting on the front lines. KGS

[…] On September 12th, a known Taliban commander appeared on the back of a motorcycle with a passenger riding pillion. There was a British patrol in the village of Gorup-e Shesh Kalay and under the rules of engagement, the walkie-talkie the Taliban pair were carrying was designated a hostile act. As they drove off, Osmond fired warning shots with his pistol and then picked up his L96, the same weapon – serial number 0166 – he had used in Iraq and on the butt of which he had written, ‘I love u 0166’.

Taking deliberate aim, he fired a single shot. The bike tumbled and both men fell onto the road and lay there motionless. When the British patrol returned, they checked the men and confirmed they were both dead, with large holes through their heads.

The 7.62 mm bullet Osmond had fired had passed through the heads of both men. He had achieved the rare feat of ‘one shot, two kills’ known in the sniping business as ‘a Quigley’. The term comes from the 1990 film Quigley Down Under in which the hero, played by Tom Selleck, uses an old Sharps rifle to devastating effect.

  1. Front lines aren´t just in Afghanistan, they are in Londonistan and every major cities of the United Kingdom, there Britons aren´t allowed to have rifles or even pistols.
