World's Top Ten Sniper Rifles

My personal opinion on the deadliest 'toys' in the battlefield...

#1 is there due to it's incredible range, and especially due to it's hability to relieve the Sniper of all those time consuming calculations and equations, making the shoot a lot easier and (probably) more accurate.

#2 is there due to all you may see: range, accuracy, big and deadly round but mostly because it was with that rifle that the TWO longest shoots known to man were made.
Both shoots in the same operations from TWO CANADIANS in the same sniper team. Corporal Rob Furlong made a 2430 meters shoot on a moving target (3rd shoot the taliban was killed) and the other was Master Corporal Arron Perry made a 2310 meters kill.

No matter how good and accurate might a Sniper Rifle be it's ALLWAYS up to the SNIPER to make that ONE SHOOT KILL count...

I apologize for the low quality of the videoclip of the HK PSG1...
