Looks like that guy gets one through the chest and a quick follow-up head

shot.
Great shooting by whomever. But...I think a couple of rounds to his RPG
launcher are in order to deactivate it from being picked up and used by

someone
else.

The speed of the sucessive shots leads me to believe that this guy was not

the
victim of a US Marine sniper, since most of them are using bolt action

rifles
from my understanding. The shots just seem to come too quickly to have

cycled
the bolt that fast (could be wrong though).


Clearly a weapon on full auto.
I suspect a SAW: not enough damage for a heavier caliber and more
rounds down range for "burst" mode on a M-16/M-4.

Further, the sniper may have been able to lure the dead guy's compatriots

out
into the street had he held off firing the follow up kill shot to the

head.

The head just happened to be in the dispersal pattern.

Just wound the guy on the first shot and wait for his buddies to come out

and
"rescue" him.......and then drill them all too. Make a pile of them in the
street......however, the insurgent fighters may be "on" to that tactic

already.
