Man, I betcha the Talibunnies' eye got as big as silver dollars after shooting a Brit at point blank range in the chest, watch him go down and get right back up. Hope the SAS was screaming "Allah Akbar" as he resumed his attack.
If that don't make you rethink who side G-d might be on, nothing will.
Well...! It sure sounds like some civil rights were violated here!
Go SAS and US Superforces!
Sounds like a man's best friend :)
I can't quite make out what your saying, could you please speak directly into the microphone?
A Taliban Army Platoon Vs One Marine
A Taliban Army platoon was on patrol when the commander noticed a lone Marine standing on a hilltop in their area.
The commander told two of his soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they dropped their packs and promptly ran as fast as they could toward him.
Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill.
The two soldiers followed. For the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the Marine came up on the hilltop. He brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers.
The infuriated commander called for a squad to go get the Marine. They promptly ran as fast as they could toward him.
Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The squad followed, and for the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the Marine came up on the hilltop. Brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers once again.
The commander was really hot now. He ordered the rest of his platoon to attack the Marine. Determined that Taliban soldiers were far superior to one lone Marine, they had blood in their eyes as they ran up the hill.
Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The bloodthirsty soldiers followed. For many minutes there were horrific screams and dust flying in the air. It continued and continued.
Finally, one lone Taliban soldier came crawling back to the commander, all bloody and beat about the head and shoulders. His uniform was torn; cuts were all over his body.
The commander asked for a report. The lone soldier, trying to catch his breath, replied in a forceful and trembling voice:
"Sir,...run,...it's a trick. There are TWO of them!!
Al_Qeasies were probably using 7.62x39, alhtough 5.45x39 is possible. The former is lighter and slower than 7.62Nato, while the latter is lighter but faster and has less area. It might be a harder round to stop. But the older AK-47 round is more likely, since the AKs are everywhere and there is plenty of the ammunition about..I've even got some, but then I've got more 7.62NATO, Portuguese mostly. Binny Boy's Krinkov, a stubby AK type, probably is 5.45x39
