What's the best shot you have ever seen?

What is the best/most amazing shot you have ever seen in NW? MM stories count as well. It can be with any ranged weapon whether it's musket, rifle, cannon, or vodka bottle ;)

I'll start, during one linebattle while leading the 7de as French voltigeurs, we set up a skirmish line on a hill and opened fire down at the enemy. One of my flankeurs, Bumby, somehow got a headshot on an enemy officer from what I estimated to be around 200 meters with his cavalry musket. It was a ridiculous and unbelievably lucky shot especially seeing as the officer was moving. I know who the officer was and I'll refrain from saying his name because I don't know if he'd appreciate it :P lol

 DEFINITELY Welshy's shot. I was never that impressed by anything in NW.

Not to toot my own horn but I had an excellent one once. Just a few of us on this battle server and I was friends with the other guy on my team. He provokes me in some way and then rides off on his horse,must've gone about 700 yards when I shot that horse out from under him with my infantry musket.

 700 yards? 2100 feet? Jeez. Must have aimed pretty damn high.

I dont have any proof, but In the early days of NW, at the start of a LB on a large map, I got sniped out of my saddle by a enemy rifleman. It was only 15 seconds or so into the round, so when it happened, I was indeed very surprised.

I've done a few cross map shots like at Spanish Mtn. Those are fun.

Welshy still wins for this NA Player though.

I don't see that many great shots, I'm particularly proud of one I got which was around 7 or 8 at spawn on a 77y siege event, the spawn was blocked by a house but I managed to angle it just right

One monday event, the 17th was arty cause we were so small in numbers back then
a certain 17th_Fus_Gishank got to shoot
1 teamkill..
then 17th_Cpl_Afroman got to shoot
about 10 kills
17th_Fus_Gishank takes the next shot
18 men died..
It was a brilliant shot.. but sadly aimed at our team
2 lines, 18 teamkills, I think one of the lines ragequited.

For me it must be a multi-regimental line battle. Our line was in a firing dual with the 15e and Hekko was able to headshot snipe me from across the map with his pistol. To make things even more impressive, I was running behind the line, as flag bearer, we had hill cover and had a major high ground.

The whole round no one said anything except: WOW, OMG, WTF.

If I recall correctly it was also one of the first kills Of the round.. GG Hekko :)
