Shooting down an enemy 3.8 kilometers away is the new world record for an effective shot. A Ukrainian sniper has broken the record by killing a Russian soldier about eight seconds after activating a Horizon’s Lord rifle.

The previous record was at 3.45 kilometers set in 2017 by a Canadian special operations marksman in Iraq when he shot down an Isis terrorist.
