The sniper with one of the longest kills in Afghanistan has a message for Joe Biden

Sergeant Nicholas Ranstad was twenty minutes into a nap when his spotter woke him up. Ranstad’s kill set an American record that wasn’t far from the 7,972ft shot by Canadian Army Corporal Rob Furlong in Afghanistan in 2002. Ranstad told DailyMail.com that, looking back, the shot was ‘pretty cool’, but the team around him and winning the war was more important to him. ‘When we got back from deployment and we had to reintegrate back, one of the stops was mental health doctors.’ Ranstad is pictured firing a Barrett M107 - the same rifle he used for his record-breaking shot -in a segment for The History Channel The office was small, but the line of troops waiting to see the medics was out the door. Even the bosses came in to check in on me and sit with me to see if I needed anything, which I thought was weird.’ Ranstad’s kill set an American record that wasn’t far from the 7,972ft shot by Canadian Army Cpl Rob Furlong in Afghanistan in 2002.
