More on this monster rifle and the specially designed bullets it uses.

It is a .50 caliber cartridge called 12.7x114HL (HL presumably stands for Horizon’s Lord) created by necking down the 14.5x114mm case.

He might have hit that guy, but it was a fluke of just throwing lead downrange and hoping for a hit. Also, guy could have been popped by someone moar close, or even just tripped up drunk.

Some stats - It took the bullet about 20 seconds to travel 3.6 klicks :

The world record was once held by British sniper Craig Harrison, after he killed  Taliban fighter in Afghanistan in 2009 from a distance of 1.54 miles.
A separate record is held by another British sniper who killed six Taliban fighters with one shot after it triggered the suicide vest one of them was wearing.
