–That is, someone who possesses a high-tech weapon capable of concentrating on a target at an immeasurable distance.
Records are being broken in this field as well. A little perverse, but not uninteresting: in 2002, a Canadian soldier in Afghanistan set a record. He hit the target at a distance of 2,430 meters. A few years later, a Brit broke the record by pushing the limit another 135 meters. It took only three seconds for the bullet to hit its target. The speed was three times the speed of sound.
