 His quarry stood nonchalantly in the fourth-floor bay window of a hospital in Battletorn, Ramadi, still clasping a long-barreled Kalashnikov. Instinctively allowing for wind speed and bullet drop, Shadow's commander aimed 12 feet high. A single shot hit the Iraqi in the chest and killed him instantly. It had been fired from a range of more than three-quarters of a mile, well beyond the capacity of the powerful loophole site, accurate to 3,300 feet. I believe it is the longest confirmed kill in Iraq with a 7.62-millimeter rifle, said Sergeant Gilliland, who was 28 at the time.
