I wonder how the shooter was certain they were actually Taliban? Very impressive shooting in any case.

From the article:
Quote:
His vehicle was further back on a ridge, with his sights trained on a Taliban compound. He said: 'We saw two insurgents running through its courtyard. They came forward carrying a machine gun and opened fire on the commander's wagon.
That's why I say hey man, nice shot.

Good work Corporal Harrison!

Normally I would call the first shot pure luck but when the second found it's way home I was terribly impressed.

Thumbs up!

Since the troops are coming home soon (due to financial constraints), I'm definitely looking forward to seeing his marksmanship skills with Mexican gangs illegally crossing the border.
