The deadliest weapon on the battlefield is neither bullet nor gun; it's the lone sniper. Journey inside the science and psychology behind the greatest shots in military history, through the scope of the world's most extreme marksmen. Deconstruct the missions, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan, presented by the men who were there and pulled the trigger. For the first time on American television Canadian sniper Robert Furlong, tells the story of his history-making shot in Afghanistan - striking a Taliban fighter from 1.5 miles away. Ballistics... Tactics... Weaponry... Stalking... This two hour special examines these critical components in vivid detail, combining interviews with cinematic reenactments, CGI and present day shooting demonstrations to put the viewer squarely inside the crosshairs.

Rob Furlong, a former corporal of the Canadian Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces), holds the record for the longest confirmed sniper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper) kill in combat, at 2,430 metres (2,657 yards, or 1.51 miles). Established in 2002, the shot exceeds that of Sgt Brian Kremer of the 2nd Ranger in 2004 Iraq (2,300 meters). It also exceeds by 144 metres (157 yd or 472 ft) Carlos Hathcock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Hathcock)'s 1967 record of 2,286 metres (2,500 yards, or 1.42 miles) and Arron Perry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arron_Perry)'s record of 2,310 m (2,526 yd / 1.435 mi) set just before Furlong's record.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Furlong#cite_note-0)
carlos hathcock also set the record using a M2 50 cal machine gun as a sniper rifle and had a confirmed kill at 2250 yards

In 1967 Hathcock set the record for the 20th century's longest combat kill with a Browning M2 .50 BMG machine gun mounting a telescopic sight. The distance was 2,286 meters (2,500 yd / 1.420 mi). Hathcock was one of several individuals to utilize the Browning M2 machine gun in the sniping role. This success led to the adoption of the .50 BMG cartridge as a viable anti-personnel and anti-equipment sniper round. Sniper rifles have since been designed around and chambered in this caliber.
The record was broken twice 35 years later, in 2002, during Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan by a Canadian sniper team consisting of MCpl. Graham Ragsdale (Team Commander), MCpl. Tim McMeekin, MCpl. Arron Perry, Cpl. Dennis Eason and Cpl. Rob Furlong from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). The first to break Hathcock's record was Master Corporal Arron Perry with a 2,310 meters (2,526 yd / 1.435 mi) shot. Shortly after that this record was surpassed by Corporal Rob Furlong with a shot of 2,430 meters (2,657 yd / 1.509 mi) from a McMillan TAC-50 Long-Range Sniper Weapon on a Taliban fighter.

One of Hathcock's most famous accomplishments was shooting an enemy sniper through his scope, hitting him in the eye and killing him.[2] Hathcock and John Roland Burke, his spotter, were stalking the enemy sniper in the jungle near Hill 55, the firebase Hathcock was operating from. The sniper had already killed several Marines and was believed to have been sent specifically to kill Hathcock.[10] When Hathcock saw a flash of light (light reflecting off the enemy sniper's scope) in the bushes,[2] he fired at it, shooting through the scope and killing the sniper.[5] Surveying the situation, Hathcock concluded that the only feasible way he could have put the bullet straight down the enemy's scope and through his eye would have been if both snipers were zeroing in on each other at the same time and Hathcock fired first, which gave him only a few seconds to act.[10] Given the flight time of rounds at long ranges, both snipers could easily have killed one another.[9] The enemy rifle was recovered and the incident is documented by a photograph.
