"The previous record was held by Corporal Rob Furlong, of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, who was using a 12.7mm McMillan TAC-50 rifle. "

"Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry"?

Friggin Canadians.....sounds like something out of a Narnia book...

Of course, you know he can probably never return home. As soon as England's violent criminal muslim population get all ginned up to cause all sorts of mayhem and England's 'ginas in charge of government cave in this man will need to find sanctuary somewhere else in the world.
