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. Isn't it illegal to kill the wounded, according to the Geneva Conventions? He remains a bullet magnet for as long as the RPG remains under his control. |

From: Nuk 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. Dave 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. Brooks 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..... T3 |

IBM 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). It was something on auto. AW, SAW, or LMG.
