That would be a good-yet-off-colour pun if it weren't for the fact he didn't - literally, and figuratively.
He must've got blown to pieces then came back like the terminator (i mean like the little water bubbles combine) :D
God mode.
[QUOTE=Mort and Charon;28275303]I think that or something very similar happened during the Battle of Mogadishu, the guy didn't survive then though. They had to leave the body in some bunker and detonate it I think.
And god, the paras are tough bastards.[/QUOTE]
That's a different story, as I said, this guy was evacuated in a medical helicopter to a hospital and had the warhead removed. He lived.
The reason I said it was "against regulation" was because technically they were breaking the rules by flying him out of there, due to the fact that the entire helicopter crew, the helicopter itself, and the hospital surgeons were in extreme danger being near that warhead.

Well for starters you used one of the worst one-liners from Killing Floor.

[B]MINOR INJURIES.[/B]
That guy is a fucking hard bastard, holy shit.
Just a flesh wound.
[QUOTE=Tac Error;28274000]British soldiers are hardy folk. I remember reading an article on how a para managed to land on his head when his main parachute failed during an exercise in 1996 and only received minor injuries. :v:[/QUOTE]
A british chopper pilot survived getting shot in the face and proceeded to land the helicopter with all its passengers safe.

While a camera crew were filming for a discovery channel program no less. He was extremely lucky to be honest, apparently the bullet was just above the exposed part of his head.
Unexploded RPG's have downed helicopters, this guy must be pretty solid

He is British, what do you expect?

bad teeth and a dumb accent
[QUOTE=makingthatmaker;28289238]bad teeth and a dumb accent[/QUOTE]
He could still have bad teeth, maybe that is what stopped the explosion.
I bet he got hit in the chest and was like
"OhohohahahAHAHAHA, [B]YEAH!!![/B]"
then after he lived past the second one and got healed up he was like
"[HIGHLIGHT]YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[/HIGHLIGHT]"
It happens all the time...
[i]In call of duty[/i]:argh:
If he was jumping when he got hit he totally could've done a ghetto rocket jump.
PvtCupcakes must be heartbroken.
He is truly [B]Unbreakable[/B].
[quote] He managed to lead the hostages back to friendly territory.? [/quote]
DID THEY EVER GET TO FRIENDLY TERRITORY I MUST KNOW

Why? What am I missing?
[QUOTE=mastermaul;28274052]He survived being hit in the chest full force with a shaped explosive charged designed to send a searing jet of molten metal through the 6 inch steel armor of a 50 ton armored fighting vehicle and incinerate the entire crew compartment.
I think he might be a bit lucky.[/QUOTE]
yeah but unless he was wearing some serious armor it probably hit soft tissue, those things never explode like that
Anyone remember the photos of that guy who still had an RPG stuck inside him... All torn to fuck and shit, and he was considered lucky
he is up there with bradley kasal and some other badasses
This man is the ubermensch, we need to start a new species using his dna.
