First, some trial bike action:

The story with this second video has changed since I first saw it. The video denies it is people getting shot, but make up your own mind.

The original story I saw posted with it was:

These video shots are not made through the shooter's telescopic sight

They are made looking through the spotter's scope. The spotter lies right next to the

sniper and helps the sniper to find and home in on the target.

The sniper is using a 50 caliber rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8

inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet

itself is one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches

long.

Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban is lying

on top of the peak in front of you... when you hear the shot

fired....watch what happens. The sniper is also about a half mile

away... or more. A Canadian sniper in Afghanistan has been confirmed as

hitting an enemy soldier at a range of 2,310 meters (7565 ft/1.43

miles), the longest recorded and confirmed sniper shot in history. The

previous record of 2,250 meters (7369 ft/1.4 miles) was set by US Marine

sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967. The Canadian sniper was at an

altitude of 8,500 feet and the target, across a valley, was at 9,000

feet. Canadian sniper units often operated in support of U S infantry

units, which were grateful for their help. The record lasted only one

day, until a second Canadian sniper hit an enemy soldier at 2,400 meters

(7860 feet/1.48 miles).

The Canadian snipers fire special 50-caliber McMillan tactical rifles,

which are bolt-action weapons with five-round magazines. The Canadian

snipers were the only Canadian troops operating without helmets or flak

jackets as they had too much other equipment to carry. Each three-man

team has one sniper rifle, three standard rifles Canadian (C7s), one of

them with an M-203 grenade launcher.

I found another, with the zooming out at the end intact:

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Sports section or here, but I picked this thread, because this is clearly Crazy.

Fedor Emelianenko is a shortish, tubby-looking Judo ace and master of the Russian martial art called Sambo. He is considered by many to be the best competitive martial artist on earth, and is famous for dispatching much larger, much stronger opponents with startling efficiency.

Last Saturday, Fedor made his American TV debut in a fight against American powerhouse Bret "Grim" Rogers, and lived up to the hype with this devastating knockout.

But as brutal as that was, it doesn't tell the whole story. It was obviously sanitized for network broadcast. But now, an anonymous source has leaked the real video! Warning, this is not for the squeamish... but for those with strong stomachs, the shocking footage CBS didn't want you to see.
