The current record holder:Corporal of Horse (equal to an E-5 in the US Army) Craig Harrison of the British Army's Household Cavalry is the deadliest sniper on the planet. He has two confirmed kills of a pair of Taliban machine gunners from a November 2009 engagement south of Musa Qala, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The shots were GPS confirmed at a range of 2,475 m (2,707 yd), and made with a L115A3 Long Range Rifle chambered for the .338 cal. Lapua Magnum. Past and unconfirmed record holders:Actually the new world record is not one that will be recorded officially. But there was a kill southeast of the Afgani border that was on a very high ranking government official by an unnamed member of a Special Forces sniper from a distance of 2740 meters ( 8990 feet)

The former world record for the longest range sniper kill was 2430 meters (7972 feet), accomplished by a Canadian sniper, Corporal Rob Furlong.
