There's not much that'd indicate to me that it is an edited video that couldn't be explained as a sort of artifacting. When you go frame by frame the explosion doesn't change position relative to the ground, that would usually be a dead giveaway. If I really have to be critical, I could make a guess that it's another clip that edited in on top of this one, my only supporting argument is this pattern that appears on the ground behind the tank. [t]http://vgy.me/DjNoGK.png[/t] That transforms to this. [t]http://vgy.me/yD4ktf.png[/t] The movement looks odd and the pattern itself is something I can't explain, but I can't dismiss anything with that as I really don't know what it is.
[QUOTE=Paxton;49272132]I'm going to fire one of these, they are on rental at the range. I do not expect good results.[/QUOTE] Fired one today. Do not buy the Curve. The amount of pressure you have to put on the trigger is retarded, I actually strained trying to get it to fire. No sights, almost all of it is cheap as fuck plastic. They charge you $350 for this? I can buy a Judge for $350, hell I can buy a broken in .45 for $350. You can buy a poor mans Glock (Hi-Point) for $175 in .45ACP. This should of never left the prototype stage. It's painful to me because Taurus has made some great firearms, but this thing? I'd put my life to a .25 Auto before I ever touched the Curve. There are almost no pros to this gun, it's difficult to use, impossible to unholster, if you're a man using this you're fucked. This was designed for the ladies, but the trigger pressure is so retarded high that you'd be better off to just fully charge your attacker. If people want something that's small to carry for defense there are excellent lines of 9mm Kurz out there.
that flight path on the missile is really weird, but the range is probably pretty large and it is a man guided missile
The flight path isn't that weird, the fov is extremely low as the distance is large. If you watch some of these videos they'll all look like that. Wobbling all over the place until it finally hits.
[QUOTE=Sableye;49275250]that flight path on the missile is really weird, but the range is probably pretty large and it is a man guided missile[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;pdl3USKzcCU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdl3USKzcCU[/video] Here's what it looks like at a shorter range. SACLOS missiles tend to waver back and forth a bit and kinda look like glowing angry bees when they're heading towards their target. The one in the "T-90" video is probably undergoing more course correction than this one
whats insane is those guys standing there don't notice it coming at all, yet it looks like its going so slow
[QUOTE=Sableye;49275898]whats insane is those guys standing there don't notice it coming at all, yet it looks like its going so slow[/QUOTE] It definitely looks like that over distance. In reality, TOW missiles move at 278–320 m/s which is getting close to the speed of sound.
but the explosion's size is the result of the tank's explosion or they're two different missiles?
[QUOTE=Metaru;49276788]but the explosion's size is the result of the tank's explosion or they're two different missiles?[/QUOTE] Probably the ammo going off. [video=youtube;E1VWPOpYbQI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1VWPOpYbQI[/video] People used to think this video was staged with the T-72 being loaded with C4 to make the explosion look bigger, but that Syria video looks to have a similar size explosion.
Video looks real, seems like a catastrophic detonation of the ammo stores due to a direct hit. The missile impacted low down in the hull where the ammunition carousel is in the t-72 and t-90. The pattern of the fireball along with the shockwave pattern on the ground suggests it is real, and I think the other weirdness is within tolerances for video when you are dealing with fast events like this.

You can tell he sees it, and just pretty much comes to terms with it, and just tries to protect himself at the last second from the explosion.

And when you buy it, you can't take it home with you. You gotta go take the receipt to the counter clerk, fill out some paper work and wait 2~ weeks for them to send you a new permit and a permission slip to go buy your paid-in-full overpriced handgun.

That seems like it would be ideal for a situation that the Curve was designed for.

at least get the bolt blued if you're gonna go through that much effort
