World record for accurate shot. Vlad Lobaev's rifle: the longest shot in the world. Rifle from the garage

“We set a new world record in sniping for accurate shot range - 4210m! I shot, spotters Yuri Sinichkin, Evgeny Titov, Vladimir Grebenyuk. I wouldn't have made it without these people. Team work requires the highest level of competence from everyone. And everyone showed just such a level!

Before that, our team approached 4170, then 4200. And here is 4210 the final distance! There are only a few shooters in the world who could get close to such results. I have been preparing for this shot for 8 years. Thanks to the guys from Lobaev_arms for a tool specially made for us and an active joint work to set a record! Well? Which country has the best snipers in the world? Ryabinsky said.

With the help of a specially prepared rifle SVLK-14 "Twilight" of Russian production, the ranges of 4170 and 4157 meters were first taken, after which a target measuring 1 x 1 m was conquered, placed at a distance of 4210 meters. Previously, this record belonged to the Americans, who conquered a distance of 4158 meters.

The unique ultra-long-range rifle SVLK-14S (SVLK-14S), which for 6 years has been demonstrating record performance at ranges significantly exceeding the 2-kilometer milestone - this is power, accuracy and extreme range in your hands.

The accuracy and range of this line of rifles sounds almost unrealistic and yes, bold. Its wearers often show less than 0.2 MOA of a 5-shot group. And this is with such a powerful cartridge as 408 Cheytac, which few people are able to force to shoot. We did.

Hit over 3 kilometers? Easily! Beautiful group for 2 and a half? Yes, it's available to her. New world record? She's up to it as well.

The new model features a reinforced CFRP, Kevlar and fiberglass sandwich and is specifically designed for use with this powerful ammunition like Cheytac. Also, for greater structural strength, a long aluminum chassis is integrated into the box.

This model is based on the award-winning King v.3 action, which is manufactured to tolerances much tighter than the industry standard. Accurate and indestructible.

The body of the receiver is made of aircraft-grade aluminum with a threaded insert made of high-alloy, corrosion-resistant steel. The shutter is also made of solid corrosion-resistant steel. SVL model K-14S is deliberately left in a single-shot version to provide the desired stiffness of the receiver, which is necessary when ultra-long range shooting, as well as modularity and interchangeability of calibers (bolts with larvae: Cheytac, Supermagnum, Magnum).

The LOBAEV Hummer Barrels stainless steel match barrel completes the picture. Built to the highest standards in the shooting world, these barrels make shooting the edge of what is possible - POSSIBLE. Who tried, he knows.

All lengths produced by us are optionally available for this model.

The five longest shots of military snipers. In this rating, only long-range shots made by military snipers during armed conflicts are taken. A record shot should be unique for its era and glorify the shooter. Record set must hold on enough for a long time, or the shot fired must break a record unsurpassed for decades.
"FROM THIS DISTANCE THEY WON'T EVEN HIT THE ELEPHANT"

The names of the first shooters, who became famous for the longest shots, remained in history solely thanks to their victims - high-ranking military leaders. First attested over long shot refers to the era of the Napoleonic Wars - the French general, Baron Auguste de Colbert, became his victim. In 1809, he was killed by a rifleman of the 95th British Rifle Division, a certain Thomas Plunkett - he is in fifth position. It is believed that Plunkett killed Colbert from an incredible 600 meters for that time. And to prove that the hit was not accidental, he also shot down the general's adjutant with another shot - however, this is more of a legend. There is no exact data on what kind of weapon the British shooter used. Some sources say that Plunkett fired from a standard 1722 smoothbore musket, the famous Brown Bess. But it is more likely that the long-range shot was fired from a rifled fitting, which by that time had appeared in british army. By the way, the British snipers of the XIX century - the military, hunters, athletes - often used a rather unusual technique - they shot lying on their backs, resting the barrel on the shin of a bent leg. It is believed that it was from this position that Plunkett shot de Colbert.

“From such a distance, they won’t even hit an elephant,” - such were last words American General John Sedgwick - a second later he fell from a sniper's bullet. This is the American Civil War of 1861-1865. At the Battle of Spotsylvane, Sedgwick, who fought on the side of the United States, controlled artillery fire. The Confederate riflemen, seeing the enemy commander, began to hunt for him, the staff officers lay down, and invited their commander to go into cover. The positions of the opponents were separated by a distance of about one kilometer. Sedgwick, considering this distance safe, began to shame his subordinates for timidity, but did not have time to finish - a bullet from an unknown sergeant Grace hit him in the head. This is perhaps the farthest shot of the 19th century, although it cannot be said whether it was an accident or not. This is the fourth position in the ranking. Descriptions of long-range shots - at a distance of half a kilometer - are also found in the chronicles of the War of Independence and civil war in USA. There were many among the North American militias good hunters, and as weapons they used long-barreled large-caliber hunting rifles and fittings.

CARLOS "WHITE PEAT"

The first half of the 20th century did not bring new deadly records, at least those that would become the property of history and glorify the shooter. During the First and Second World Wars, the skill of snipers was determined not by the ability to make ultra long shot, but the number of killed enemies. It is known that one of the most productive snipers of all time - the Finn Simo Häyhä (he accounted for up to 705 enemy soldiers killed) - preferred to shoot from a distance of no more than 400 meters.

For new range records, a weapon was needed that significantly exceeded the characteristics of regular sniper rifles. Such a weapon was the Browning M2 machine gun of 12.7x99 mm caliber (50 BMG), developed in the early 30s of the last century. During the Korean War american soldiers they began to use it as a sniper rifle - the machine gun was equipped with an optical sight and could conduct a single fire. With its help, a participant in the Vietnam War, American Sergeant Carlos Hathcock II set a distance record that lasted for 35 years. In February 1967, the American destroyed the enemy from a distance of 2286 meters - the third position. From his sniper M2, Hathcock was guaranteed to hit a growth target with single shots from a distance of 2000 yards (a little more than 1800 meters), that is, approximately twice as much as compared to the standard army "high-precision" M24 ​​in calibers 308 Win (7.62x51 millimeters) and 300 Win Mag (7.62x67 millimeters). The Vietnamese nicknamed Hathcock the "White Feather" - supposedly, despite the requirements of disguise, he always attached a feather to his hat. Some sources claim that the command North Vietnam placed a $30,000 bounty on the sniper's head. It is noteworthy that Hathcock received his highest award - the Silver Star - not for sniping, but for rescuing his comrades from a burning armored personnel carrier. Inspired by the success of Hathcock, military department The United States created a special commission that studied the possibility of creating a heavy sniper rifle based on the Browning.

RIFLE FROM THE GARAGE

The Americans did not make rifles from a machine gun. But in 1982, the former police officer Ronnie Barrett (Ronnie G. Barrett) in the garage workshop designed a sniper rifle in caliber 12.7 millimeters - it later received the designation Barrett M82. The inventor offered his development to the monsters of the arms market, such as Winchester and FN, and after the latter's refusal, he set up his own small-scale production by registering Barrett Firearms. Barrett's first clients were hunters and civilian lovers of high-precision shooting, and at the very end of the 80s, a batch of 100 M82A1 rifles was purchased by Swedish troops, following the Swedes, the American military became interested in Barrett's rifle. Today, the word "Barrett" has actually become synonymous with a large-caliber precision rifle.

Another "high-precision" in the caliber of 12.7x99 millimeters began to be produced in the mid-80s by a small American company McMillan Bros. The rifle was called the McMillan TAC-50 - today they are used by special units of the United States and Canada. To the fullest of the dignity of a large-caliber precision weapons opened up in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East, snipers of the Western coalition began to update range records almost every year. In 2002, in Afghanistan, Canadian Arron Perry (Arron Perry) with a McMillan TAC-50 rifle hit a Mujahideen from a distance of 2526 yards (slightly more than 2.3 thousand meters), thereby breaking Hathcock's long-term record. In the same year, his compatriot Rob Furlong (Rob Furlong) made a productive shot at 2657 yards (slightly more than 2.4 thousand meters). These two shots are in second position.

American sniper Brian Kremer (Brian Kremer) crept close to the shooters from Canada - in March 2004 in Iraq from a Barrett M82A1 rifle, he hit a target at a distance of 2300 meters. It is believed that during his two years of service in Iraq, Kremer fired two successful shots with a range of over 2100 meters.

In first place - unsurpassed to date, the record of Briton Craig Harrison (Craig Harrison). During an operation in Afghanistan in November 2009, at a range of 2470 meters, he destroyed two Taliban machine gunners and their machine gun. According to Craig himself, before three effective shots, he had to make nine more sighting shots.

Long-range shooting of the enemy is a kind of special army art. Modern snipers are divided into many subcategories, but it is the range of an aimed and deadly shot that is considered one of the important criteria for assessing the skill of a sniper.

A selection of the most notable shooters whose long-range shots made it into the pages of history.

In seventh place is the shot of the American participant in the Iraq War, Petty Officer Jim Gilliland, 1367 yards (1244 meters). Shot from a standard M24 rifle using standard 7.62x51mm NATO rounds in 2005. A very good result for a combined arms rifle of not the largest caliber.

Number six is ​​British Army Corporal Christopher Reynolds and his August 2009 accurate shot at 2026 yards (1844 meters). Rifle - Accuracy International L115A3. Cartridges - .338 Lapua Magnum LockBase B408. The hit target is a Taliban commander nicknamed "Mullah", who is responsible for a number of attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan. If the sources do not lie, then the shot was so accurate, then the Mulla fell exactly into the arms of the militant following him, and if the bullet had enough penetrating power, Reynolds would have written down two heads at once.

Number five - Sergeant Carlos Hascock, shot at 2500 yards (2275 meters). Date - February 1967, the time of the Vietnamese conflict. The historic shot that made the sergeant a hero of his time was not fired from a sniper rifle, but from an M2 Browning machine gun. Cartridges - .50 BMG. Hascock is a legend today american army- he ranks fourth in the list of snipers who hit maximum amount goals. At one time, the Vietnamese had a $30,000 bounty on his head, and they gave Hascock the nickname "white feather" for his habit of wearing a feather in his hat, violating the accepted rules of sniper camouflage. However, this is not the only thing he was noted for - Hascock's second term of service in Vietnam ended ahead of schedule in September 1969, when the armored personnel carrier in which he was riding was blown up by a mine. Despite his own severe burns (more than 40% of his body), Hascock pulled seven of his comrades out of the burning armored personnel carrier.

Fourth place - American Sergeant Brian Kremer and his shot at 2515 yards (2288.6 meters) in March 2004. Weapon - Barrett M82A1. Cartridges - Raufoss NM140 MP. In two years in Iraq, Kremer fired two successful shots over 2,350 yards, confirming high level sergeant skills.

Third place went to the Canadian Corporal Arron Perry. Shot range - 2526 yards (2298.6 meters) in March 2002. Weapon - McMillan Tac-50. Cartridges - Hornady A-MAX .50 (.50 BMG).

Second place - a shot at 2657 yards (2417.8 meters) also goes to the Canadian: Corporal Rob Furlong, broke Arron's record, with exactly the same rifle and cartridges.

In first place is an unsurpassed (so far) record by Briton Craig Harrison. During the Afghan conflict in November 2009, he made his best double shot at a range of 2707 yards (2475 meters). The defeat of the target is documented - two Taliban machine gunners were killed in succession. This record makes Harrison the best sniper of all time.

Why are there no Russian snipers on the list? Firstly, we have never had such a cult of long-range shooting, and secondly, the army doctrine was different.

However, in a non-combat environment - Russian snipers set a world record by hitting a target at a distance of almost three and a half kilometers from the firing position.

At the same time, it is known that the work of our sniper professionals is classified, and not only the names are not known, but also the rifles with which these masters work. It is possible that the heir of Vasily Zaitsev lives somewhere in Russia, who somewhere and sometime, in one of the conflicts, hit the target and at a greater distance than any of the seven foreigners mentioned above.

The experiment was carried out on agricultural fields Kaluga region.

The world record was set by Russian snipers who hit a target at a distance of almost three and a half kilometers from the firing position. Incredible result is now called a new victory domestic weapons and are even going to apply for the Guinness Book of Records. The previous group record was broken by our masters of field shooting by 100 meters, the record of a professional sniper by more than one thousand.

The fire experiment took place on the border of Kaluga and Tula region near the regional center Tarusa. It was here that sniper Vladislav Lobaev, together with his team, decided to carry out an ambitious task - to break the world record in rifle shooting.

This is an exclusive shooting - exactly of a record nature. This is not group shooting - this is shooting to hit, at least one shot, - says Vladislav Lobaev, designer of sniper rifles.

By the way, Vladislav Lobaev himself is an athlete, he is fond of long-range shooting. In addition, Lobaev developed the latest sniper rifle, which now bears his name. A few years ago, a man created the first private company in Russia for the serial production of precision weapons. After many advances in weapon development go to new record- already in the sniper business - Vlad, one might say, was forced by the Americans.

We are talking about a video that appeared on the Web, in which four foreign cowboys old age hit a target at a distance of 30 football fields - this is about three thousand three hundred meters. For domestic masters, the foreign experiment aroused suspicions, turning into a challenge.

Already here, in Russia, the distance of three thousand four hundred meters is a hundred more than that of the Americans. In other words, the territory under the experiment is commensurate with 32 football fields according to FIFA standards. Or a little less than any runway at Domodedovo airport. And in Moscow itself, this is almost the same distance as from Manezhnaya Square to the Belorussky railway station - the entire Tverskaya street. Navigate to countryside rangefinder helped. It was with his help that the points for the sniper and targets were chosen in the fields.

The main condition of the experiment is the absence of obstacles at the entire distance. This was only the field of the Kaluga region. The target was set up three agricultural fields from the firing position. The participants had to get here through plowed land and mud.

The target itself is a meter by a meter. The shield was dug right into the remains of last year's hay.

Mission Impossible. 3400 - it's just no one did. If this happens, it will be a world record, - says Sergey Parfenov, master of sports in bullet shooting.

In the hands of Vladislav was a difficult rifle, which has no analogues in the world. The sniper created weapons with his own hands. In total, the athlete has six different models in the weapons range. By the way, this sniper rifle is called "Twilight". Its caliber is 408 Chey Tac, muzzle velocity - 900 meters per second, length - 1430 millimeters, barrel length - 780 millimeters, weight - more than nine and a half kilograms.

True, to achieve the record, in order to increase the range, the weapon had to be modified: to increase the bar under the sight, to move the rear of the barrel higher. In addition, even special bullets had to be loaded - with a pointed tip, which, like lightning, cuts through the air.

The first few shots were encouraging - although they didn’t hit the target, they definitely caught up with the Americans. And in order to overtake, it seems that all the conditions coincided at the shooting range - sunny weather and even the wind subsides from time to time. After some time, the bullet still pierced the target.

According to Vlad Lobaev, this result is still better than the American one and even worthy of the Guinness Book of Records. Note that the previous record was set in Afghanistan by a professional sniper-military Briton Craig Garrison. In 2010, he hit a target located at a distance of 2.47 kilometers from an L115A3 Long Range Rifle rifle of 8.59 mm caliber, which has a standard firing range of about 1100 meters.

A sniper's shot can not only hit the enemy, but also sow fear and panic in his ranks. Behind a single shot can be years of preparation and weeks of waiting for the right moment. Often, spending a long time in the wild and waiting for a target, the sniper must not only have all the survival skills, but also the ability to not lose concentration at a critical moment. At such a moment, a lot depends on what kind of weapon he has in his hands. Modern sniper rifles are sometimes real miracles of engineering and are capable of hitting objects at a distance of more than two kilometers. We have selected for you 10 of the most famous sniper rifles - from those that helped near Stalingrad to those that are used in modern special operations.

1. "Three-ruler" Mosin

In 1931, the Mosin rifle became the first Soviet sniper rifle, having received the "sighting tube" of the Podolsk Optical Plant. The design subsequently underwent certain changes. "Three-ruler" has proven itself well at short and medium distances during the Second World War. So, in the Battle of Stalingrad, 98 snipers of the 13th Guards Rifle Division destroyed 3879 German soldiers and officers.

ASVK, or large-caliber army sniper rifle, was developed in the USSR in the late 1980s. This 12 kg rifle is capable of hitting lightly armored and unarmored military equipment up to a kilometer away. You can’t even talk about the defeat of a person - a bullet fired from this gun will fly one and a half kilometers at a speed of about 850 meters per second.

3. Vintorez

This silent sniper rifle was developed in the same 1980s as ASVK. She was intended for special units. Later, after the collapse of the USSR, the screw cutter was actively used during the First and Second Chechen wars, as well as during the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. The length of the rifle does not even reach 90 centimeters, and the weight is less than three kilograms.

After domestic samples, it's time to move to the USA, where in 1990 the Calico M951S rifle was developed, which perfectly hits targets at medium distances. Its features are a high rate of fire and an extremely capacious magazine that can hold up to 100 rounds. Which, however, is not surprising, because the model was created on the basis of the Calico M960 submachine gun.

5. Dragunov sniper rifle

Self-loading rifle Dragunov - the best sample products of the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant. This sniper gun was developed from 1958 to 1963 by a group of designers led by Evgeny Dragunov. Over the years, "Dragunov" has been repeatedly modified and still a little old. Currently, the SVD is considered as a high-quality, but standard rifle for a line fighter who is a sniper in a unit. Nevertheless, at a distance of up to 600 meters, it is still a formidable weapon for the destruction of enemy manpower.

6. CheyTac m200 “Intervention”

CheyTac m200 "Intervention" - one of the components of the American sniper system CheyTac LRRS - available in various modifications since 2001. This model is distinguished by the ability to hit targets with high accuracy at long distances (about 2 kilometers). We can say that "Intervention" has become a real phenomenon in the world of computer shooters. So in famous game"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" it is present as one of the most powerful weapons.

7. AMP Technical Services DSR-1

The German DSR-1 rifle can be called the most accurate, however, only when shooting at ideal conditions- when using specialized cartridges and in the absence of wind. It refers to police or anti-terrorist weapons and is used by European formations such as GSG-9. The professional military doesn't really like the DSR-1 - it is susceptible to dirt and sand, and in real combat, for example, when there was an explosion nearby, it misfires.

8 Accuracy International AS50

AS50 was first demonstrated general public in January 2005 at ShotShow-2005 in the USA. The 1369-millimeter equipment weighs 14.1 kilograms without optics and cartridges and is intended mainly for special operations. The sniper can fold or unfold it with lightning speed and bring it into combat readiness. High accuracy of shooting at long distances, a device for mounting various optics, including night ones, make the AS50 one of the best modern sniper rifles.

This rifle has interesting story creation. M82 was assembled by American Ronnie Barrett in his garage back in 1982. After the refusal of a number of leading arms firms, he decided to start small-scale production for the domestic market. After 7 years, the Swedish Army buys 100 rifles from Barrett Firearms, and then the US Army pays attention to them during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Today, the Barett M82 is in service with several dozen countries and can lead aimed shooting over a distance of almost 2 km. The rifle is present in a number of famous films And computer games up to GTA V, which once again confirms its authority.

10 Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

Another brainchild of the legendary English company Accuracy International Ltd., which has been unrivaled since 1980. The UK uses it for military purposes, and the forces use modified models. special purpose and the police. However, in the civilian arms market this rifle is positioned as a "sporting" rifle - for example, in Russia a few years ago it could be bought in a gun shop for about 20 thousand dollars. The longest recorded combat was produced from the AWM sniper shot in history - British soldier Craig Garrison fired at a distance of 2475 meters. The "cultural footprint" of this weapon can also claim a record - AWM is mentioned in a number of the most famous computer shooters, including Call of Duty, Battlefield and, of course, Counter-Strike.
