Corporal Rob Furlong, a member of the Canadian sniper team supporting U.S. Special Forces, hit a Taliban militant RPK machine gunner at a distance of 2,413.5 m (7,920 ft/1.5 mi) in the Shah-i-Kot Valley of Afghanistan in 2002 with a TAC-50 (Rob Furlong replaced the more aerodynamically improved U.S.-made bullet in place of the Canadian-made bullet during the operation). It also set the world record for the farthest sniper distance at the time – which was only recently broken by Craig Harrison from the United Kingdom, who shot at a distance of 2,475 metres.

In fact, RobFurlong missed the first shot, but the second hit the target's knapsack, and the third hit the torso. The Shah-i-Kot valley in Afghanistan is located at an altitude of 2,432 meters above sea level, and its low air density increases the maximum effective range of sniper rifles, but the caliber and power performance of the TAC-50 and the superior capabilities of Rob Furlong and the observer are undoubtedly the main factors.
