Accuracy International (AI) -Silvercore Firearms Training BC
Snipers aim to remain unseen but one made headlines last month when he killed six Taliban in Afghanistan with a single shot, by hitting the trigger of a suicide bomb.
The near 1,000-yard shot the British soldier took was made using an L115A3 rifle produced by Accuracy International (AI), a small company based on the outskirts of Portsmouth.
This feat is just one of many achieved by troops armed with AI products. The world record of 2,710 yards – more than a mile and a half – is held by Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, of the Household Cavalry.
Shooting at a Taliban machine-gun position that was attacking an Afghan army patrol, it took Harrison’s bullet nearly three seconds to hit its target – a shot he then repeated twice more.
That AI can produce rifles capable of such precision is incredible in itself. That the company which makes the weapon of choice for Britain’s elite marksmen and special forces started out in the garage of one of its founders is perhaps even more remarkable.
