101st gettin after it...I remember when this happened. QRF went out and they ended up firing a javelin or two and had the apaches finish off a few more.

:D buzz buzzzzzz buzzzzz. I remember that quite well, didn't think cams did it to though! That made me laugh pretty hard. Great video, that's some close up stuff for those fellas. I also feel the pain for the gunner, bouncing around in that turret, it's better than a MAXXPRO but still hurts.

VOTM material for sure. Adrenaline must have been pumping but he kept cool and got the job done!

Man, awesome video, but I almost feel bad for this gunner. You get that close to what is, presumably, a once in a deployment opportunity and the big guns jam on him. Of course, that could be the reason why he is still alive.. Eh, you never know. Makes blue balls look like childs talk though..

LOL "Yo man, what the fuck's wrong with the .50" "That shit never happens" LOL. Especially in war anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. The .50 cal aka Ma Deuce is known to be a little moody sometimes and can jam if not cleaned often so clean MA deuce as often as possible and then depending on the ROE when first sighting the enemy like when they saw terry take off with weapons on motorcycles let off a single shot into a safe direction or towards the enemy to make sure Ma deuce isn't being moody and is working perfectly. Great job though guys you were on them like a terry on a female goat. :USA
