IIRC that's a training round for the Carl Gustav meant to simulate the ballistics of the actual shot. Or an aiming round for a recoilless rifle. Something like that.

The pkk are nominally atheists, the Turkish military is turning nominally Islamist.

(Pure conjecture here) Are the guys getting hosed up "Turkish" though? Plenty enough men to Shanghai coming through their country in the past couple years. Like the French after the second world war, "Serve in the military or prison, makes no difference to us", regarding French in the Wehrmacht.

They must be training guys in BF4 or something. Is that mainly dust being thrown up or do older soviet tanks just spew out a lot of exhaust?

Tanks still suck but you don't gotta hand it to the Axis either.

Saturday we went to the airport in Nashua, NH. Fifi the B-29 was there and got a handful of pictures and a video of her taking off. Managed to get a ride in a C-45, unfortunately a seat in the B-29 was out of our price range.

Doesn’t firing through windshield glass really gently caress up the ballistics? Also, were those guys shooting at the cop? Why else would he be firing on the vehicle? I thought that was a huge no no.

It won't damage the power of the round by a meaningful amount, but it does deflect the round up or down depending on whether you're shooting in or out.
