No, literally. Finland sniped the key without a scope.
That means that Finland, considering he was on the edge of the Swiss border, shooting to the edge of the Finnish Border that was closest to him, had shot a rifle, with just iron sights, 2012.76 kilometers, or 1250.67 miles. That's 2,012,760 meters (to Kilometers), or 6,603,537.6 feet (to miles). That also means that Finland shot a 2 inch, or 5.08 centimeters house key from that far away. (Even though he had a spotter, binoculars can't really see that far, so it was mainly up to Finland)21
Also, the cartidge can go as fast as up to 915 metres per second. That means that it took the bullet to fly as long as 2,199.7 seconds. That means that Finland had to shoot the bullet 36.6 minutes earlier than when they arrived. In other words, Finland knew they were coming.
Good luck sleeping tonight if you're on Finland's list...
@Gen-SilverChicken I'm happy I'm not on someone that goods killslist. I might be able to hide but if he can tell 36 minutes in ADVANCE what I'll do... well that is incredibly and he deserves the kill
@DarkMage7280 Would you like 400 Euros for killing Donald J. Trump, Jr.? Make sure you kill that orange Pomeranian on his head as well - it's only humane. (What do you mean it's his hair?!? Eh, kill it anyway. It might be an alien for all we know.)
Why is Finland so savagely amazing? First he can pull a knife out of thin air and now he reveals he can snipe someone from halfway across the continent?? Damn your cool Finland.
@Finn456
Many real-life artillery weapons and warship weapons take the curvature into account when aiming. That's how we get weapons that can kill you from BELOW THE HORIZON!
Also, some long-distance snipers abuse gravity to shoot people hiding behind walls and stuff.
But only Häyhä could have taken that shot!
I have to say, that Switzerland would NEVER approve of someone shooting at another country (and autonomous region) He would press the "Explode all bridges, tunnels and other connections we have with the outside world" button in case Sweden declared war. They actually have that button.
@CheeseKingofDenmark Nah, Finland shoot the key that was In his own territory, not someone else's. So I suppose Switzerland would be fine with it. Finland wanting to show just how accurate and long shot he can be... Tiny key all the way back in Finland was just perfect for that. Preventing theft was of course a factor. (Not that he would necessarily tell that to Switzerland).
