This is a moment a gang of drug smugglers were dealt a sucker punch in the form of a Royal Navy sniper after trying to haul a speedboat carrying £40 million worth of cocaine across the Caribbean.
The chase, which also included the Royal Fleet auxiliary and US Coast Guard, lasted a whopping six hours and was brought to end in a blaze of gunfire.

The sniper had initially attempted to scare the traffickers into surrendering by firing shots ahead of the boat.
When the punks still didn't give, the sniper went no-holds-barred on the engine.

They later recovered 14 bales of cocaine, estimated to be worth around £40 million, which were then transferred to US Coast Guard cutter Richard Etheridge who then gave it to authorities in Miami Beach.
Captain Nigel Budd of the RFA said: "This seizure highlights how effectively the US Coast Guard and our allied partners are working together to disrupt and dismantle the criminal networks that depend on the flow of illicit drugs from South America into the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe."
Play with fire, expect to get BURNED.
