Sniper takes out ISIS executioner from a mile away
I hope the story is true, totally, would be awesome.
But can a bullet pierce and explode a gas tank from a 100metres, let alone a mile. I remember seeing a Mythbusters show about it, and the answer was a resounding no. Of course the gas tanks were a bit bigger.
Maybe it might be worth experimenting on down the range. Dibs on not being the one carrying the flamethrower though.

A tracer round would or could but I am thinking tracer rounds are not really in a snipers best interest to fire. Although, special forces so some crazy shit.
Explosive incendiary rounds ? might be a more likely option, especially if the int said this guy was about and had previous with a flame thrower, maybe?

Nothing but an opinionated tourist. The Pope spends more time in countries than I do ! It is also not my place to comment on a gentleman's dress. A real 23 minute wonder, that obviously knows little about ovens and cooking in Cambodia.
But. But ..the Daily Star said so..Hanno wrote:I cannot find a single reputable source for this......
I'm guessing Abou-Gor or Jock Itch started it.

I saw it on FB, must be true...
Mythbusters wise, the flame thrower will detonate not from the tank and bullet, but from the spray of pressurized fuel misting into the air and the igniter at the front of the weapon being active....BOOM, nice fuel air blast. That say, a .50 cal round will shred the tank and spin the guy around like a rag doll too. I have seen the aftermath of those rounds on the human body, it pretty much explodes if you get a torso shot.

Pfffft. It's when they shoot back at close range you gotta worry. No risk from a mile away.
I've faced real live bullets coming at me. When i was younger i put a wooden door in the back garden up against a tree, and when i shot at the target with my rifle the bullets used to rebound of the wooden panels and you could hear the fizz as they came right back at you. Was hit numerous times i was.
I've got some other combat stories but i'm forbidden to talk about them.

I shot my mate in the arse with an air gun (BB gun, or plinker).
In my defence he was trying to shoot me.
