Jul 25, 2011 - Your entitled to your opinion. But keep those comments to yourself. The men and women are risking their lives. They had no choice in being sent to Afghanistan. If you cant honour them, then dont comment. You are cowardly. Sitting behind your computer leaving hate comments about people who have spilled their blood so you can sit there and type these shitty comments.

Aug 13, 2011 - Not a bad achievement......but bear in mind.......Carlos Hathcock was using a scope fitted Browning M2 machine gun, and his target was aiming back at him. The M2 is much more difficult to hold on target than a Tac-50. The 10X Unertl scope Hathcock used wasn't up to the same standards as Furlong's 25x Leupold either. That said, all of these records have now been broken by Britain's Corp. Craig Harrison of the "Household Cavalry". That's proof.... With newer weapons, anything's possible.

Aug 13, 2011 - ........WELL I FUCKING HATE YOU TOO. YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS FUCKING LIBERAL ASSHOLE!!!!! You must have a real inferiority disorder to make the statement that you "FUCKING HATE AMERICAN POPULATION". So go get a fucking life and act like you have some goddamn sense.... and maybe then we'll give you all the respect your pathetic fucking heart desires.

Aug 22, 2011 - Carlos Hathcock is an amazing sniper dont get me wrong, but tell me again how many shots it took him to get his record kill? It took Furlong 3 shots to nail him at a greater disance.

Sep 4, 2011 - It took him 3 by his own admition. First one was high, second was low; third one connected.

Sep 9, 2011 - i like their "never boast" rule (and the fact that he said "i'm not into it like that"). the rest of the punks that get all high on adrenaline are probably the ones who massacre and murder.
FPSCanada8097 Says:
Nov 11, 2011 - @BubbaLee2: yes, but carlos' shot was a hell of a ot shorter, conditions and firearms/ammo was different.your point is void.

Dec 15, 2011 - Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed reading all of your comments and words of support. Over the years I have had many people attempt to contact me for various reasons (what was my experience in the military like, or what type of rifle they should buy). I have constructed a Facebook account, so I can stay in contact with everyone and answer any questions you might have. Hope to talk to you soon, take care. Ret.Cpl.Rob FURLONG.

Jan 23, 2012 - @cowbot2 Wow, are you stupid or something? We're not fighting against the country, we're fighting WITH the country, to purge a very violent group out of Afghanistan. We fight side by side ANA all the time (Afghan National Army). And Canada is the type of country that helps the world. IRAQ, thats what you think youre talking about, and Canada refused to go. Learn a l'il ya l'il shit
couchpatato384 Says:
Jan 23, 2012 - @Lex5576 Carlos shot a stationary target. Craig shot a stationary target. Rob Furlong shot a running target. Kinda defeats the other two

Mar 19, 2012 - What most people don't realize is that when a .50 caliber round hits at 2k+ then kinetic energy is the equal to a .44 magnum at point blank range. Think Dirty Harry's gun right in your face from over a mile.
MrARKWILD Says:
Apr 21, 2012 - LOL--VOID????? PLEASE DON'T OPEN THIS CAN OF WORMS AGAIN! CARLOS'S RECORD LASTED 37 YEARS AND FURLONG'S LASTED 5!! THIS WHIPPER SNAPPER FURLONG IS GOOD BUT WHITEFEATHER WAS THE BEST ALL TIME AND COMPARING FURLONG TO HATHCOCK II IS ABSURD!
