That's the point of suppressive fire, to make your enemy hide except when they decide to peek out they'll get shot.

Where's the Laughin smiley when ya need it!!!

;) like that?

either way... wars are never good, nor will they ever be, whatever the cause is.. especially oil and or your previous pupet goverment who's rebelled..

Enes, they're called "magazines" ;)

Everyone else, I agree with Enes. Those guys seem like they are putting themselves at unnecessary risk. Those guys are standing up under fire like they dont have a care in the world. Their asses if they get shot, but I'd hate to be in their unit.

Enes dont start up with the reasons we are there again... especially if your wrong...

You're wrong because your your is wrong. :D

well now that you wieners have managed to get off topic again...

That is a very cool video. I'd like to shoot an RPG sometime in my life. Do the marines use M4's, or still M16's? AR-15's maybe (doubtful)...

Sadam goverment was a pupet goverment until he turned on USA, just like Alkaida was!

i am done discussing this!

Thank you CVD, you saw what i saw exactly....

-E

They use both M4's and M16's (M16A3 and M16A4's I think)

We will see how long all you war critics last during paintball then.

Mods lock this thread before it turns into another Holy War. LOL.

CRAIG

I agree with Enes and CVD...not to mention Enes has more real life experience in combat situations than any one of us with maybe the exception of ME612.

Yea I agree also that they were not using cover or really caring about if they got hit or not. The guy loading the clip while standing up... thats just not too good.

But yea Im not sure how they can even see who they are firing at if they never come out. Unless they did before the vid was taken. I never saw one person on the vid fire back. Only that one shot where the dude got hit by something on his face (chrapnal?).

Once again it's called suppressive fire. While that squad was lighting up a target, there most likely was another squad repositioning on the very same target.

Ha ha.

Oh wait nevermind I started it.......

CRAIG

that goes without saying it!

That vid doesnt work for me, so "No Comment" from me...haha

We us M16A2's. And again, yes it's not the smartest thing to be doing. But to sit and critique a video, and to actually be there in the mix are totally different. Here you're sittin in you nice chair, watching it, looking for something wrong. Them, well they are hot, tired, hungry, bruised, thinkin about their wife they haven't seen in 6 months, thirsty. Under those conditions, you don't function perfectly. They are doing the best they can, and I think they're doing a great job. All my best friends from Yuma are there right now, and the last thing you'll hear me saying is how they should be doing their job, and how I could do it so much better. I'm sitting in my nice A/C room and going out to clubs on the weekends, and they are the ones there right now trying their best to do the job they were sent there to do.

The thing that guy was looking into was infrared optics. It is very similar to the one used in the Bradley fighting vehicle. My drill sergent was in a bradley and he said he could pick out a guy at over 1/2 mile away.

Almost all of the military now uses the M4. Too bad nobody chucked a grenade. I would like you guys to see what they really look like when they go off, not the little explosions that hollywood puts out.

I agree, they were not using proper military tactics by not being under cover. They weren't really under any direct fire though, so they must have thought their risk was minimal. It looked like they were just cleaning up stragglers to me.

that is awesome footage
