Battle on Haifa Street, Baghdad, Iraq - Fierce fighting!

[mikefan09]

when was this?

[Gilbert12M]

what scares me is that rifle the guy is firing from 2:12 to 2:50 seems to be bringing the building down everytime it fires

[nazgulero]

What is the range of the rifles that are being used ? Look pretty powerful to me...

[thehistorywatcher]

No wonder we have a budget deficit.

[SpadesNeil]

Interesting. Where'd they get the Kalashnikovs? Found 'em?

[snakebymistake]

Outstanding!!! Daniel Sunable you are right on. I served in Vietnam and Dessert Storm as a Navy pilot. Between the two was 20 years of training!

[eman1ful]

Call me stupid, but is that an M24??? I'm talking about the guy with the glasses at the beginning.

[BL1NDF1R3OWNZ]

@eman1ful yes it is.

[908to954BOYZ]

@eman1ful either your tlkin about the sniper rifle or the m249 saw machine gun

[trelujan]

god please bless all of our troops for joining the millitary and keepin us and other countrys safe and free and may he bring all our vetrans home safe

[pele42891]

whats weird to think is that every time that barret shot, someone just got ripped in half

[superstreet2]

Hooorah to my nefew!!

[engleo2008]

they killed more than 1.6 Iraqian people

[11B30Inf]

@engleo2008 I see you were drinking the spike kool-aid punch again..... Time for you to home home and sober up bub........

[DanielSunable]

OMG FAIL!! Have fun to make war and kill people!

Just the american way...

[3rdID8487]

@DanielSunable you mistake fun for confidence. When you are well trained and well equipped and you have to use those skills, its not fun, its serious business. Imagine being a world class race horse and training your entire life to race but never being allowed to race. Then imagine you are allowed to race finally. Thats a soldiers life. We train and train for this and most of the time were never allowed to use those skills, and now they are. Its a feeling of fulfillment of purpose.

[GhillieMan482]

@DanielSunable, This is indeed a hypocritical statement. I could bring up the fact that Germany started the biggest war in the history of the world that killed over 60 million people all on the basis of ideology the nazis possessed. That being WWII, it's just the German way.....

[SAvassallo730]

Lmao that Barrett is no toy. GO ARMY HOOAH

[PoIiticaIIylncorrect]

We are there to give out candy. Kill people. make fun of little kids. But most importantly, to occupy this country and control it . It is how the companies that produce weapons, ammo, tanks, planes and other "military contractors" take billions of dollars of tax payer money. They need to use all that fancy stuff they purchased because they are bored and they have to upgrade soon anyway and It is job security for the Big Government Contractors.

[cameronwick]

jesus that SASR in a small room must be insane

[MrTr0llol]

AMERICAN POWER.

[tv031007]

Haha 3:08 he took an AK-47 from the terroists that used to live there..

[mkadi70]

I just wonder whose house was it before it came a shooting point for the US army! and what happened to the owner of the house...were they are killed? are they refugees?!

[Cardinals525]

@mkadi70 If a house is destroyed during combat, the army usually tries to contact the owner, they question him to see if he is a supporter of the Al-Qaeda. If he is, they dont repair his house, if he isnt, they compensate him for the damage. And if they dont, they usually have a good reason. They are housed(I guess)at a neighbors until repairs are complete. We dont just bomb for fun mate, please realize that

[ToddIngram1000]

@mkadi70 the military will pay for all repair if the owner is not a supporter of the insurgency, as well as have something arranged for him to stay until the repair is done. We clean up our mess.

[TheCentralServices]

Why are there American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan?

[FredrikEastling]

@TheCentralServices Do you not have newspapers in Switzerland?

[ToddIngram1000]

@TheCentralServices do you watch T.V. or read a newspaper? We are over there to drive out the insurgency, kill Osama Bin Laden (already done), protect their own people, help rebuild their country, and give children food, water, and education.

[clt19111]

@fromRussFed You are the blockhead. Any moron with a basic understanding of...well...anything...would realize that is the effect of the concussion.

[Brownton4]

@fromRussFed He didn't shoot at no wall blockhead. The power of that weapon shook the whole room. Those buildings are old as hell and crumble just by punching it.

[MegaCoreMagnetizer]

I've tried 10 shots with the Barret. I'm not gonna lie...I closed my eyes before pulling the trigger.

[xXSOKkenrusXx]

why does one of the guys have a AK-47

[mishgun420]

@xXSOKkenrusXx i guess because most US troops use m16s and the insurgents mostly use AKs. Aks sounds very different, so they fire off a few rounds from the AK to make the insurgents think they r getting cover fire and maybe give away their position. but thats just my guess :)

[CrazedNovaProduction]

@xXSOKkenrusXx because some of those soldiers there are in the Iraqi Army.

[MatoVuc]

@xXSOKkenrusXx lack of ammunition, better penetration of cover, etc. personal preference or just for fun.

possibly even confusing the enemy as the AK has a distinctive sound, so any retreating insurgents or whatever would be confused by "their own guns" firing at them.

on a battlefield where everyone is using the AK, you're going to have a lot more AK ammo lying around as opposed to the 7 mags of 5.56 that you brought with you which could get pretty tight if you can't get any support

[wadesrv]

@xXSOKkenrusXx he is with the Iraq Army or the IPs

[LockonStratos21]

@xXSOKkenrusXx because the AK-47 is a superior weapon to the crap we have. m4/m16s jam like crazy, specially in desert conditions. they are very unreliable whereas the AK there's nothing you can do to it that will keep it from firing. Anyone who knows their gun knows the AK is the best rifle you can get your hands on.

[CLOWNvsMIME]

Knock knock-Whos there?-Barrett...BOOM!!!

[4skoolin2learn0]

we are there to help the people rebuild....after we blow it all up first

[imallamaforeba]

that 50. cal is such a beastly weapon its rediculous

[stubbostubbs]

Some real accurate firing there at 4:30. They probably managed to hit Baghdad.

[M1auuu]

rofl, when he shoots the m82, the whole table is about to break

[iheartbeauty95]

man, they have mad courage.

[pastorg22]

That Islamic RAG head sand Monkey OSAMA is DEAD!

He is NOW in HELL...

God Bless the USA!

[TheIronicBanana]

why no helmets?

[M11ty]

@TheIronicBanana they dont need them there to far away for the enemy plus there very heavy and annoying to wear

[terminator6267]

Epic @ 3:15

[terminator6267]

when the video comes around @ 3:15 hearing one of his buddies open firing on those jihads and he's yelling good job! good job!....It makes me smile and laugh...i hope he's still okay

[terminator6267]

oh man...whenever this video goes around 3:17 and the soldier says "good job!! good job!!!" it makes me smile

[terminator6267]

oh man...whenever this video goes around 3:17 and the soldier says "good job!! good job!!!" it makes me smile, laugh and clapping

[terminator6267]

oh man...whenever this video goes around 3:17 and the soldier says "GOOD JOB!! GOOD JOB!!!" it makes me smile, laugh and clapping

[vicnorthrup]

Thank you troops. I am safe at my home because of you.

[TheBennyisCool]

4:30 was my favorite part because they look so funny. then hes like, YOU GOT HIM! and the iraq soldier goes SLUTH! hahaha lol they look like theyr in some intense action movie. they look so unserious. i know this is very serious and all but i cant get over that.

[Cjfoley96]

a sniper, a support gunner, and a standard soldier all in one room!

[ntrudr800]

They wear ear protection? I can't tell.

[texasbud100]

@TheGentlemanWolf  Support our troops anywhere better there than here. !NEVER NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!!!!!! BE PREPARED....................

[allenhane]

nice vid i'm glad you were filming and the winners are the ones out there doing it not the fags talking about R.O.E. and target selection. shut up nobody cares!

[PoopedMacroon]

That is not what iraq is like...at all, well maybe back in the day but no now. its actually a really nice place to go

[supportingfire]

At 4.30, you can see two guys using AKs. Was it really that common for US trooper to carry AKs? I didn't know that was even allowed...

[Weebigballs]

@supportingfire im shore the guys with AK47's are Iraqi troops they have different unifrom :)

[GModPlaya]

@supportingfire

Technically, yes and no.

and at his camo, he may have been a early marine on the field or he can be a outsourced soldier.

I dont remember the date of this battle so best chance you got is Google it yourself.

[n8iveracerx]

LMAO the barrett knocked the plaster off the walls !!

[NecroPhoenix]

With that Scope, this soldier can hit something in moon.

[xronisxronis]

just for the cams..

[BraycoMicronic]

Charlie dont surf !

[Quuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaad]

Gotta catch em all!

[blondierotc2009]

get them get them all

[nzigen31]

"Duuude what happened to your walls?"

"Oh it's just my barrett"

[13mattjr]

i shot a barret, had a chubby the whole time....

[alowcrazy]

this is the war occident want to diffuse their culture everywhere

[vlad9vt]

2:18 i like this rifle ))

[halopro9995]

@vlad9vt m107 barret

[KhanRameen]

great america..

[Mrawr3]

Video games can help your reaction time,

but you won't know how to really react.

:/

[QcmasterQc]

2:11 through 2:45 I had a boner the whole time.

[Shawn3300]

Im sorry but If i was there my first question would be "What are you shooting at soldier?" cause i cant see nothing but them wasting ammo.

[klinga80]

@Shawn3300 well dumbass you would have to be there looking out the window wouldnt you?

Another couch general not thinking before they talk!

[dorsetperception]

@klinga80 Couch general LOL hahaha gotta love the internet!!

[astraturbo05]

blue on blue!!

[astraturbo05]

this was a favourite vid of mine,until the realisation of,using (PLAYING) with a hgh cal weapon,this is a prime example to show why (WE) the british forces have a respect for - THE RULES OF ENGAGMENT

[aDLuoson]

Yeah because people werent cruel and murderous or anything in previous wars

[salotimo]

If your army have money and support to napalmazide all away,you are okey.But if you dont have support,and you must go to man to man,mano i mano,you'll find out,what you are made off,and what you have beside you after next corner.when it is only you,you find out what you are made off.really...with 10 000 division men support,you are best.but alone,just like weeny pig in alley.and i know that..hah.

[delizard523]

@salotimo i will go toe to toe with you it is nice to have support but in your case we can do this solo and see who comes out on top just sayin

[merstrand]

is it me or is this a one way battle ?.. I dont hear any shooting from the insurgents ?

[saynotostupid]

DAMN. I'm 48 years old. Work a full time job. Have two grown, responsible, educated daughters. I am also a PS3 Battle Field Bad Company addict. But wait...I'm not at war. I'm not out in the street wigging out shooting people, even though I own a shitload of weapons. I pay my bills, my taxes and contribute to charities that are proven to help Americans in need.

[ThePeckerwood310]

these are army rite?

[yankeemhi]

nice work

[PaleRider626]

lol 1:57 that's a money maker right there!

[michoacancotija]

black ops .. crazy out there God be with them . go U.S.A

[Rookerman32]

Dude put your helmet on, you idiot! You don't want to take a face shot!

[BumbleBee7867]

thats true we teens play war games a lot .

[keserugyula1]

u.s army ak 47?

[benjedimaster]

Hey guys I am British and it looks like you guys were in heavy fighting but we are not the losers you think we, are if any of you get the chance read the book called Sniper One by one Sergeant Dan Mills from the PWRR (Princess of Wales Royal Rangers) it shows that you guys are not the only ones fighting in Iraq and it is set in Al Amarah in Maysan so check it out and no hateful British comments please guys.

[PakAttack95]

WTF!!!! I H8 WHEN PPL DAT PLAY COD GET THE IDEA THEY CNA JONI DA ARMY... COD IS A FKIING GAME.... 8/10 FACTS DAT R IN COD R NOT TRUE!!!.... KIDS LIEK U GET DA WRONG IDEAS ABOUT PPL WHILE PALYIGN COD.... U THINK DAT IF UR PRO AT COD, UR GNNA B PRO IN A REAL WAR... UM NO!!.. STUPID IRROGENT KIDS.

[TheJake1005]

every time you hear the crack of a 50. Cal, a terrorist gets its horns.

[MooseDishes]

@TheJake1005 Not necessarily?

[deanernet]

The soldier with the AK is an Iraqi soldier from the 6th Iraqi Army division per the title card at the start.

[WWWarcticmonkeysCOM]

us soldier with ak47 loool

[slipnsldnaway]

@WWWarcticmonkeysCOM hes iraqi army

[GotteNe1987]

02:12 G82 ?

[ChopAndRew]

ROFL! The shock from the .50 cal rifle seriously blew all that debris everywhere! It almost looked like he shot the wall in front of him or something haha

[Blabloo72]

I can't help but laugh when bits of the walls and celing start falling down around them each time he fires the .50 cal. So funny!!!

[WC9456]

that would be scary as shit

[Supercirca12]

i turned 10 that day R.I.P FOR ALL THE CANADIAN AND AMERICAN SOILDERS THAT DIED THAT DAY

[MrDagonofalbion]

The guy with his glasses on should wear a hat,

He is the canaan able kai, and brother of the cain on high.

His name is Cory... before it were angelo in the band kirlian camera

his name was Kenny miller...

[yUsReE96]

this is not a battle this is attacking :S

[morarthing]

If the grenade launcher doesn't cut it than break out big MOMMA 2:11

lol

[MrDagonofalbion]

the metal for canaan is brass but since the break of ascorbic acid from stearic and folic acid, the blunt stone is still what would be in geodes.

[Search4Goods10]

around 3:23 or so, is that solider using their ak's? that doesnt looked like an issued gun of the us military haha

[asifh13]

man 50 cal is lyk a canon

[elvedin06]

haha american soldier using kalaschnikow, I guess they finnaly realised what is the best wepon :P

[granstromtheking]

ak47 is a very good assault rifle its just that the talibans cant aim or hit anything...

[FSO9426]

I'm really curious - why do people watch videos like these (military missions, soldiers at war etc.) This is not meant in disrespect, I would just like to know why all these people are looking stuff like this up.

[difsthlm]

While they are in Irak we are slowly taking over Europe .

[lmd141]

@difsthlm no you're nottttt. France bans veils, other countries ban minarets, religious schools being closed down. I'd hardly call it a revolution. And btw, you're hardly helping your own cause when you make statements like that.

[armymp8968]

that was a IA not a us soldier

[sl2k4u]

ak 47 are a much better weapon that the american guns, pthis vid proves it...

[Darylw27]

@sl2k4u No, its not an american solider hence not an american firearm. It proves shit all.

[GambleDwarf100]

@sl2k4u Yes because our rifle doesn't have the capability to kill you from 350 meters before you can even dream of hitting us. Its also definitely true that our bullets because of their caliber do not pass through and through our targets instead they definitely dont tumble after impact causing grievous internal injury away from the entry wound. Or the Barret .50cal that doesn't give me the ability to kill targets from over a mile away, or the ability to take out armored cars.

[assailant101]

hehehe... clip from jarhead movie....

[stylebo417]

0:56 typical jarhead guys omg that 50 cal at 2:40 MAN you know what happens to a man when he got stroke by one like this????

[thentantt]

@stylebo417 notice how he ISN'T a jarhead..

[stylebo417]

0:56 typical jarhead guys

[NTBushPilot]

fuckin cant aim for shit.

[Insanomexicano]

minute 1:20 Noob tubin'

[ACDCManCo]

holy fuck, look at that 50 cal sniper 0.0

[MrKartos1]

call of duty 4 : modern warfare

[Meningioman]

sick nation

[kingofheartsxyz]

power of .5 cal .. . the building is falling apart . .

[TheSpotGlobe]

Min 3:10  U.S. Soldier with Kalaschnikow ???????

[hunter402406]

@TheSpotGlobe  no, the uniform is different

[fatkid677777]

@TheSpotGlobe iraqi police it looks like

[Shazee083]

@TheSpotGlobe they are like dirt cheap and you can find them. Specially the ammuniation if you are in tour if you are out of ammo at the battlefield and you have no choice so that is your alternative firearm they are like every where at the battlefield when you start going through houses.

[rfalfonse]

@TheSpotGlobe Looks like it. They may be preferred over the M4. It could be like Vietnam where a lot of US soldiers preferred AKs over M16s because they were more reliable and hit harder

[TheNeedbackup]

@TheSpotGlobe

if the U.S. Soldier run out of ammo so they pick up a other weapon ; )

[Anathor1]

@TheNeedbackup Wrong, they pick AKs because its a durable weapon, and its chance of jamming is really low. So some soldiers prefer the AK if they can get their hands to one, over the standard issued M4

[TheNeedbackup]

@Anathor1

but some soldiers picked the ak for more ammo i saw that on a doku.

[Anathor1]

@TheNeedbackup Ok both are valid arguments then

[TheNeedbackup]

@Anathor1

i agree

[kingofheartsxyz]

@TheSpotGlobe  he is Iraqi soldier . . . .

[mdomenech2001]

@TheSpotGlobe It is an Iraqi soldier, from new regular forces.

[stylebo417]

@TheSpotGlobe

i think he´s funny ;) as long as he hit´s some it does´nt matter what he´s shootin with, not?

[badas45]

@TheSpotGlobe he is an iraqi soldier fighting alongside americans

[Namolis]

@TheSpotGlobe They would reequip themselves with AKs so the enemy couldn't hear who was firing.

[bengacris]

@Namolis ya and risk a friendly fire

[alcapone796]

@Namolis what abaut the machine guns

[Danje1]

@TheSpotGlobe It's not an american uniform is it? So it's not an american soldiert.

[23roskillian]

@TheSpotGlobe Ha Ha..Guess he thought it was better to use than the .50 cal

[Jacobrocks9900]

@23roskillian A .50 cal rifle is normally used for material damage, while other lower cal rifles tend to take better care of the insurgents.

[kyle1058]

@TheSpotGlobe A what? Do you mean a Kalashnikov? the Avtomat Kalashnikova, model 1947, or better known as the AK-47 assault rifle? Well, it's either one, or a clone, but that'd be it.ammo and mags/guns are free over there after you kill the terrorist shooting it at you. Also, i didn't know Mikhail made a chnikow, is that like a cow launcher?

[atoughpunk]

@TheSpotGlobe you can pick up any weapon if needed.  he was probably out of ammo

[aml1ma]

@TheSpotGlobe Maybe because they are way more reliable to the desert enviroment besides it works great on close quarters combat.

[TheOkstate]

@TheSpotGlobe i think thats iraqi, there was arabic on his uniform, or some language like that

[ThugLifeTony]

@TheSpotGlobe not suprising it's a way better gun!

[Jacobrocks9900]

@TheSpotGlobe not a US soldier. Look at his helm..

[swollower]

@TheSpotGlobe I thought that a little strange myself!

[nmclenn]

@TheSpotGlobe p.m.c.

[jackseifer22]

@TheSpotGlobe id using anything with ammo

[jackseifer22]

@TheSpotGlobe id using anything with ammo they have a bigger round and he probably just wanted to have a go at one

[mark70773]

@TheSpotGlobe They where iraqis!!! in the gear we gave them!!!!

[jackalofigjam]

@TheSpotGlobe mabie he prefers it than the shitty m16

[jaomello]

@TheSpotGlobe if u run out of ammo you can to use indigenous weapons and ammo, better than a knife at least.

[BirgirZ]

@TheSpotGlobe No he was an Iraqi.

[cloudchaser07]

We are the best at war becasue our kids play video games all the time.

[NorthCitySider]

@cloudchaser07 we arent the best at war. We just mess with small countries...all there is to it folks.

[oldstock1607]

@NorthCitySider the first time we invaded Iraq, they had the world's 4th largest standing Army. We crushed them in just over 100 hours. I'd say we're pretty damn good at war.

[oldstock1607]

@NorthCitySider ah...the old "how dare you use your technological edge in a war" argument. Muslims use that a lot. Are you a muslim? I find it funny, because there's no doubt in my mind that if they had our weapons technology they would WEAR IT OUT. Seriously...what country on earth is going to go to war using half-step measures? that's ridiculous. God help the world if they had our weaponry, they would use it so irresponsibly it would be sickening. I suppose Ahmenenijad wants a nuke so he can

[oldstock1607]

@oldstock1607 fight all manly agains the west? your argument is feeeeeee-ble.

[TeamTrinidadTT]

@cloudchaser07 i fucking hate people like u, videogames have nothing to do with war, and if it dose, then good were safe

[coolierex]

@cloudchaser07 Studies made, it's actually true. your eyes visualize it's a game but the brain does it, therefore giving you the killer mindset. God i love this time.

[dogcrap1994]

@cloudchaser07 yeah dude, they even said these new games like Modern Warfare and shit, give you better aiming abilities in real life. I'm guessing because the way you can actually learn how to aim on the video game with different types of guns

[emile47dufraine]

@cloudchaser07

Iraqi kids are better they play with real guns all the time

[samigol]

@cloudchaser07 And You do best to destroy the world also

[samigol]

@cloudchaser07 Never put your foot in Iran, You will lose the war only by those lionkurds :)

[samigol]

@cloudchaser07 Never put your foot in Iran, You will lose the war only by those lionkurds that defended Iran in tousends of years :)

[0RobinHood1]

@cloudchaser07 that is the point if war video games

[T31097966]

@cloudchaser07

I hope your kidding, by the time our kids picked up a controller some kid elsewere was picking up a rifle. video games have nothing to do with it. Being a 35-0 FPS player doesn't mean your soldiering skills will be fuck all. if anything, video games just make our society ignorant to the reality of combat. I play games in my off time to but I can tell that the only thing that makes a good soldier is steadfast dedication to his buddies and all aspects of being a real soldier

[delshad82]

@cloudchaser07 lol, then sweden should be nr1 :P

[MrL33tkoala]

@cloudchaser07 that is the most retarded thing i have ever heard of, we arent good at war because of video games were good at war because we train people to react correctly when they feel fear.

[Azathespaz6666]

@cloudchaser07 If you think war is like COD, you completely mistaken.
