I've seen one video from Syria where the guy climbs out afterwards with no feet, just bones sticking out his lower legs.

Is that the one where he's getting lit up as he tries to crawl away on the stumps? Brutal.

It looked like it had quite a narrow fuselage, could it be a Cobra?

One of the BMPs that fires sends a round skyward at about a 45 degree angle. I'm going with "they don't practice much."

That was my take on it too. The whole scenario just screams panic and poor discipline.

Yet another man in the Middle East films his own death, because his entire sense of tactics is "Stand in the open near an APC and spray from the hip".

JFC what a shitshow. It reminds me of when me and all my other mid-40s buddies go playing paintball.

The real crime is not shooting the person who took the footage. Do they have Parkinson's?

I’m sure a junior Lieutenant Fuckface from Syriian Air Force has a whole lot of choice on what he gets to do and what not.

Still good riddance.

I've loaded and shot hundreds of 84 mil rounds up through the years and watching him grasp the bell end when closing the breech is puckering. Wish they'd gotten genuine loads, especially the illumination rounds - even while the other rounds are earth-shattering, the illumination rounds bring it up another notch :catstare: Fortunately they're usually shot standing as a peloton ("Team One - fire! *counts down 25 seconds* "Team Two fire!" etc.) so you get more venting of gas and you don't get the percussive effect on your body. Hell of a bang though. Would've loved to see that poo poo in 3000fps, especially with the quiver test (put an empty 84mm quiver about five metres behind the gun when firing - it's fiber-reinforced polymer and strong as anything, and gets blown into smithereens, thereby inspiring recruits to Respect The Backblast and inciting the very good safety record in service, with no major injuries or deaths that come to mind. Unlike a certain unfortunate ANA runner during a hectic situation a few years back.)

I wouldn't fire any kind of refurbished launcher if you gave me a two-story house with a heated workshop.

Grasp the WHAT? :captainpop:
