Who wants to see Taliban get gunned down from 15 feet away? - General

Scary situation about his gun not firing. I'm glad they made it out okay.

[QUOTE=BloodYScar;39265918]I was expecting some civilian murder as usual in these Murrica videos, but this time they did a great job. Left him time to put down the weapon, and he actually shot so they slaughtered his ass.[/QUOTE] "I saw a video of a bad thing happening once therefore I assume it happens all the time" that's like watching the video of a murder in a regular setting and assuming that people get murdered all the time

The sand getting into everything must start feeling really oppressive after a while.

The normal war usually doesnt make headlines or videos - the crimes do. I was just saying that i was expecting a VIDEO of a war crime because they tend to make the round instead of videos of self defense. God damn it, my english sucks. Ive seen countless videos of so called taliban and terrorists running for their lives while being blown up from miles away by drones and planes. Not to mention the apache video and the blackwater clips.

I agree, they did a great job this time... of posting something different. ;) [editline]d[/editline] [i]I'm sorry.[/i]

Is there no check that mounted gunners do before they enter a fight to check if their weapon is working? A .50 turret would really help in city centre were people are shooting at them right and left and if it jammed. [editline]18th January 2013[/editline] Meanwhile guy replied to why .50 was jammed on the video. "Okay, I posted this video, I was there. The .50 cal was broken going over the bumpy* terrain, for those who watched the entire video and didn't just skip to 6:55. I'm sorry you're a moron and you feel the need to critisize. I'm sorry we didn't do everything perfect, such is combat, I'm sorry that most of you have NEVER been in a war. For the people who ask why we got so close; we got so close cause our intention was capture. We didn't know they had that kind of fire power at the time."

The terrain broke the .50 cal... I thought they were tougher than that.

Reminds me of that compound video where that soldier went into some taliban hideout and had a shootout close face with an taliban from door to door [editline]18th January 2013[/editline] wow my brother came and said "why is that stupid soldier wasting bullets hes not even aiming is he thinking hes cool or what" ... hes 26.

[QUOTE=teh pirate;39267010]The terrain broke the .50 cal... I thought they were tougher than that.[/QUOTE] Bouncing around on top of a vehicle for who knows how long is a hell of a lot of torture for any gun.

[QUOTE=SKEEA;39265603]That's no Humvee, that shit is an MRAP. That thing takes IEDs and eats them for breakfast, it can totally withstand 7.62, no problem.[/QUOTE] There was a Humvee trailing the MRAP though, which followed right into the field. Pretty ballsy for the Humvee driver :v:

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;39264402]Can anyone guess why his .50 cal jammed?[/QUOTE] There's a shitload of dust on it.

I would have shat my pants so hard I would have been propelled out of the gunner seat

Something about how the guy grabs the SAW and starts just spraying entertains me

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;39267639]Something about how the guy grabs the SAW and starts just spraying entertains me[/QUOTE] The alternative is to take turns firing. Why would you do that if you had to option to flood the air with bullets so they have no chance to fire back?

2 trucks? why not split and get more of them?

[QUOTE=tittles650;39269036]2 trucks? why not split and get more of them?[/QUOTE] safety in numbers.

All they wanted to do was to avenge their comrades and their families to make things a little harder for the occupying enemies in their country :c Not cool. When a video pops up about American soldiers getting killed then everyone rates hearts instead. Hypocritics the whole lot of you, Talibans consists of folks just wanting to make their country free. NATO is the bad guys here.

Yo man

It always feels so satisfying when in these firefight videos they reload their SAW's, M4's and M2HB's. I don't know why.

Why didn't he grab the machine gun first? Although that was pretty nice of the TC to have given him his M4.

[QUOTE=Griffster26;39270007]Why didn't he grab the machine gun first? Although that was pretty nice of the TC to have given him his M4.[/QUOTE] Looked like he had an issue with the position he was standing in and trying to pick it up, Cause he originally tried but I dunno. Then I guess he was able to readjust or able to pick it up after he sprayed the m4 and moved around a bit.

I think he was just being polite, who turns down a free gun?

If I was the gunner I would've shat my pants when to .50 cal wouldn't fire [b]and[/b] the SAW wouldn't get the fuck out of it's hole

Coulda run the enemy over, I was expecting the gunner to use his secondary/pistol.
