I'm not even convinced it was a sniper shot. . .looked like automatic

rounds. Do we even know where it was taken (I don't speak the language of
the news reporter!).. might it have been Israel rather than Iraq?
Possibly a M249? with a 1 in 5 tracer round maybe?
I've also seen recently another video (do you think I can find it!) of
an Iraqi firing what looks like a 50 cal from the hip, he squeezes off
a burst, then ducks back out of the way when something nearly nails
him... you can see the impact/ricochet of the incoming round...
If he can shoot MaDeuce from the hip, he doesn't NEED a weapon.
