canadian snipers

I heard once that the Canadian Army has the bests Marksmen in the world. Does anyone knows something about it?

I heard they have a really good navy.

Well, I don't think we could have much proof behind that, considering Canada not fighting wars a lot n all.

The longest sniper shot was made by a Newfoundlander (Canadian) to my knowledge and according to wikipedia. So I guess we have at least some of the best marksmen in the world.

i always thought that the germans had some of the best marksmen, but with todays scopes anyone can be good

I fail to see how that would contribute to being a good marksman. There are more uses for a gun than just killing people.

Anyways, the longest shot-on-target ever made was by a Canadian, and we do have a lot of hunters here. Thanks to the conservatives, our military buget is up, so I wouldn't doubt it if Canada had some of the best shooters.

Yep. We've had amazing snipers since World War I.

Yeah, a Canadian holds the record for the longest sniper kill. I think it was 2 and a half miles or so?

The world record kill shot made by Cpl. Furlong is an anomaly. The .50 cal rifle he was using in Afghanistan has a max effective range of a little over 2,000 metres in normal circumstances. Thing is, the area of Afghanistan in which is was fighting was 3,000 metres above sea level. The air pressure is much lower there than at sea level. As a result, there's much less air resistance so bullets will travel farther and with a flatter trajectory, thereby making it easier to make long range shots such as the one he made.

As for Canuck snipers and the (now closed) sniper school, here's a CBC news clip highlighting the aforementioned sniper.

I heard they have a really good navy.
