Ronaldus Secundus sent this in with the note, “It’s the Libyans but they are firing from the classic Iraqi offhand.”
Yes, it seems to be a widespread cultural trait. Sad, because I continue to see a good many FALs in the possession of the Libyan rebels– in the right hands that rifle is markedly superior to any sort of stock AK. Bad news for them, probably, but good news for us.
I thought that was a video of your last Gunday Sunday!!!
They may waste a lotta gummint ammo, but they are having a good time doing it! Lord only knows where that reckless rifle round impacted…..
HA! You know, Ronaldus Secundus is your old Lieutenant…
Indeedy do!
Damned fine Marine, and a hell of an Artilleryman.
I see this more as an argument for miniaturizing MLRS. Or automatic shotguns.
“Iraqi Offhand” – that’s funny! I know the IA always preferred the “Death Blossom”, 360 degree full auto mag dump at the sound of anything that might startle them…
I love the Hind rocket pod mounted on the “technical”!
It’s no wonder these 3rd world wars go on forever…both sides can expend huge ammounts of ammo and only hit someone by chance! This Libya thing could take years – or until they run out of ammo….
We called it the Inshallah Aiming System, since only by the grace of Allah was anyone going to die. Probably why the jihadist leaders settled on bomb vest early on – guaranteed at least one kill.
