SAS Sniper Kills IS Executioner Before He Can Behead 8-Year-Old Boy
Stephen Gutowski


A British sniper from the elite SAS saved an 8-year-old boy and his father from an Islamic State executioner by shooting the executioner in the head last month.

The SAS sniper team was reportedly tipped off to the execution in the Syrian desert by an Iraqi spy. When they arrived, they found that several Shia Muslims had already been beheaded by their captors. The IS (commonly referred to as ISIS) executioner, flanked on both sides by armed companions, was preparing to kill a young boy and his father next when the SAS team deployed its .50-caliber silenced sniper rifle.

“The ISIS thug who was about to decapitate the father was shot in the head and collapsed,” an unnamed source told the Express. “Everyone just stared in confusion.”

“The sniper then dispatched the two henchmen with single shots–three kills with three bullets.”

The young boy and his father were last spotted heading to the Turkish border as the Syrian town they were evacuating celebrated the killing of the IS fighters.

“It was a good day’s work,” the source told the paper.

How does one "collapse" after getting shot in the head with a .50 caliber shell?

First of all...it's no longer a "one", but rather an "it".

Probably took the entire head off.   Would love to have seen it.

Closest reenactment was one of Stallone's movies where he escorted missionaries along the river in I think it was Cambodia.  Can't recall the name of it.

How big is a .50 caliber sniper rifle?

Thought they were on the back of trucks.  Aren't they the size of an anti-aircraft gun on a PT boat?

The shoulder fired ones weigh about twenty pounds fully equipped and believe me when I tell you that is a GOOD thing!

And one more thing!

Good Shooting Trooper!

Not as large as you might think. Here's a Barrett 82A1:

It's loud, and the recoil is significant, but if you're well-trained and have a good spotter, it is reliably lethal at incredible distances.
