Kaftan Barlast Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I had a feeling it was a Dragunov Sniper rifle, I guess that can explain why they didn't go onto automatic fire or had time to relocate the rifle. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A Dragunov at that range and they still didnt hit?! your average yearold could do the wilhelm tell trick at twice that range with that rifle..

But Dragunov being a sniper rifle, perhaps aiming for the head would have proved more efficient. Thankfully, extremists aren't that bright... or just really crappy shots. :D DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill-- "Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun.....you could send in your bleeding-heart do-gooders, you could hold hands and pray and sing hootenanny songs and invoke the great gods CNN and BBC, but the only way to finally open the roads to the big-eyed babies was to show up with more guns." --Black Hawk Down-- MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=44500195

Hildegard Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Check out this video, it's a Bush war on terror parody.... The video NOTE: I'm not trying to promote any anti - US sentiment with this video so don't flame, I'm only having a laugh on the expense of Bush and his policy. The only thing I agree on this video is the pacifist message for a better tomorrow.....
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I read somewhere that any rifle of heavier calibre than 7.62x51 should be fitted with a muzzle/recoil-break.

213374U Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 That poor sod was obviously one of the few lucky US soldiers equipped with Level IV protection. I guess it was a gift from his grandma or something. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Hildegard Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 That's just the problem - remember when D.Rumsfeld was trashed with questions by US soldiers in Iraq, most of the US troops in Iraq are not properly equiped. The guys from the pentagon were telling that to mr.Bush but he didn't want to hear about it. Because of that, many of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are forced to buy themselves more adequate gear like that lucky soldier on the video apperantly.
Lucius Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 Well we don't actually see anything other than an explosion and a lot of dust, or any signs of penetration. If they really had blown it up, I'm sure they would've been crawling all over it pulling out dead crewmembers and stuff, executing those still alive. You know, the usual stuff they do to give praise to Allah. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
Hildegard Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 They had to run as hell because there was an another US patrol near by. And in the report of the US army it says that in the attack one soldier was criticly injured and later died, three other wounded and the tank wasn't excatly blown away but it was damaged beyond repair.

DemonKing Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Man - those insurgents were NOOBs. With my LEET sniper skilz I would have head-tapped that guy no problem from twice the distance. Their CLAN must suck.
Walsingham Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Much as I'd like to, let's not turn this into another USA debate. These videos are cranked out all over the place. We didn't have to seize the video. It probably just turned up on one of the Islamist websites and was picked up by surveillance. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Darth Flatus Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I like the song from that last vid, its quite a jaunty little ditty - i have no idea what it means though.
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 WARNING - pretty graphic pictures - not reccomended for everybody....... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, I'll give it a miss, then. I'm curious - where do you find these things? Do the terrorist websites tend to show more videos of American soldiers being killed, or Iraqi civilians being killed? Which do they see as more effective in recruitment, injustice or pure hatred? There's a debate going on in the UK at the moment about whether the deaths of Muslim civilians in Iraq is actually a cause of terrorist actions, or merely a justification offered by terrorists who in fact would carry out terrorist actions anyway.

Hildegard Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks, I'll give it a miss, then. I'm curious - where do you find these things? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't go to terrorist websites Steve unless you think that Al Jazeera is a terrorist organization, you can find those videos everywhere, on websites of Arab TV channels like the one above, on independent websites featuring violent and sick videos like the www.ogrish.com and you can even see various war videos on some US sponsored websites....... Do the terrorist websites tend to show more videos of American soldiers being killed, or Iraqi civilians being killed? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> About your question, when going to anti-war sites that feature those videos the most common are the ones showing Iraqi civilians being killed, then anti-Bush videos and finally the insurgents propaganda video. Which do they see as more effective in recruitment, injustice or pure hatred? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know Steve you'll have to ask them for yourself, when you do please let me know, if you make it out alive " ---------------------------------------
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I don't go to terrorist websites Steve unless you think that Al Jazeera is a terrorist organization... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't, and I guess I never thought about it before. I've been to the Al Jazeera site several times, but never really looked for videos. I'll investigate. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

I can give you the link if you want....
