America's most decorated sniper Chris Kyle recorded a staggering 160 confirmed kills, but a 62-year-old Iraqi man claims to have surpassed that total and taken out 173 ISIS fighters since May of last year.

Abu Tahseen is a member of the Hashd Al-Shaabi, a Shia militia that is fighting Islamic State. He has fought in several wars including the Yom Kippur war, Iran-Iraq war, Invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War and the current crusade against ISIS.

In a YouTube video posted by Iraq Popular Mobilization Units, Tahseen talks about his sniper rifle, a Steyr HS .50 that has a range of nearly one mile.

While he is being filmed, Tahseen also routinely takes out another target in the Makhoul Mountains in North Baiji, Iraq.

After demonstrating his lethal accuracy, the prolific marksman calmly says "sweet," confirming yet another kill.

That is one fearless guy.
