Don't point RPGs at US soldiers!

I'd say he was planning hit a squad of Marines, or a Humvee or APC or
similar, but they saw him first and he found himself staring down the
barrels of a few US Marines...

Nah, you can see the bullets kick up clouds of dust in the street from
both the
chest and head shots. Whomever got him plainly shot him from a roof top,
i.e.,
it was probably a sniper watching over a patrol....not a patroller.

As I mentioned before, I think the Marine snipers are using bolt actions,
however, I have seen some pics of US Army snipers carrying tricked up M-14
sniper variants. I am thinking this guy was had by an Army sniper because
of
the quick follow-up shot. Consequently, I also doubt this video is from
the
Fallujah action, since it was the Marines laying siege in Fallujah.

I'm still trying to figure out why he was in the middle of a street,
no cover, no camo... stupid, stupid, stupid...

It's a "jihad" for Allah. Rationality plays little part.

One wonders just exactly what the insurgents even think they are trying to
accomplish. What will surely result if they gain supremacy is chaos, civil
war,
and the weakening of Iraq making it a tempting invasion target for the
likes of
Iran. So, if they think they are fighting for the good of Iraq, they are
merely
deluding themselves.

I'm not so sure, it sounded and awful lot like a SAW. Counted nine or ten
shots fired, looks like the first couple severed his spine. The rest, chest
and head, Great shooting!!

I'd bet you are right about the weapon being used; SAW with standard
intermittent tracer load.

That's how I figured it, except maybe what we're thinking were tracers were
actually ricochets off the road. But you know what, that is one dead M'fer
that our guys won't have to deal with again.....

For those of you who are wondering what SAW is (I was), it's Squad Automatic
Weapon.

Anybody whose ever played Counterstrike knows what that baby is :-)
That and the Barrett Arms 0.50 cal sniper rifle. Nobody likes an AWP
Whore (sniper with the fifty).

The(C9) A1 is an outstanding weapon, had the opportunity to heat up the
barrel a couple of times, very much like a SAW.....

After reviewing the clip a couple of times, I think the SAW was maybe
mounted on a Humvee or a track, either that or it was an outstanding piece
of marksmanship or both....

One thing for sure it wasn't a .50, two rounds would've cut him into pieces,
seriously!!

For those who remember "Combat", the SAW man is the modern equivalent of Kirby
and his BAR.

What was the WWII TV show that competed with Combat?
