Re: Resting Group of Syrian Soldiers Hit by an Anti-tank Guided Missile
Instant deafness and being covered in a fine mist of your former comrades' bodies were the rewards for the survivors.  |

Re: Resting Group of Syrian Soldiers Hit by an Anti-tank Guided Missile
They really make this look easy, just casually taking their time aiming at the bunched up doofus enemies. It's just a matter of time before they're going to start doing 360 noscope trickshot kills just to challenge themselves a little.

Re: Resting Group of Syrian Soldiers Hit by an Anti-tank Guided Missile
This is what our Federal Government is spending trillions of dollars to defend against? I'd rather feed the hungry, clothe the poor and give to the needy before spending any more on this ridiculous campaign in the Middle East "nation building."

Re: Resting Group of Syrian Soldiers Hit by an Anti-tank Guided Missile
Can someone please explain to me why this thing seems to be slowly swirling around the group? I don't know much about these things, but it just looks so weird.

Re: Resting Group of Syrian Soldiers Hit by an Anti-tank Guided Missile
Looks like an instructional video of some sort, the way it was edited. The instructor probably started off with these words to the class: "Let me just preface this by saying that it's boys like this that make the job for boys like us of winning the war on terrorism so much easier, or as Patten once said: No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He did it by making the other dumb bastard die for his."  |

Re: Resting Group of Syrian Soldiers Hit by an Anti-tank Guided Missile
Gyroscopic stabilization. It's not slowly swirling around the group, it's spinning as it's tracking to the target point. Many air to ground missiles and ground launched rockets "spiral" like that. It aids them in staying on track. It's just the point of view in the particular video that makes it visible. It's actually moving exceedingly fast (just traveling a great distance) and since it's larger and slower than a bullet as well as the fact that it has exhaust coming from the rocket motor, you can see it. They never heard it or saw it. And believe it or not to those calling a bad shot and saying they lived/went deaf - you don't have to "hit" them to kill them with something like this. Just getting in the general vicinity is plenty to turn off their birthdays. Don't need to splatter them to turn their brains into mush. The shockwave is more than enough. It causes massive internal trauma even if you weren't hit at all by the projectile or shrapnel. Most were definitely killed instantly or near it, while some **may** have lived if they got help quickly enough in a brilliant trauma center (which I doubt). If I recall correctly, in terms of blast pressure it only takes about 3psi to cause massive injury depending on surroundings (and sometimes kill) while 4psi is extremely likely to cause fatal injury (almost always without medical aid) and above that it just increases exponentially in likelihood of you being dead with 10psi and above being almost guaranteed to kill you. |
