i don't give a shit what they are defending, i agree with you i would do the same if i was in their place, however i am not going to feel sorry for them and take a bullet so they can defend themselves so guess what they shoot at us we shoot back. that's how it works in war. believe me i am not going to see god but the devil will high 5 me for keeping hell filled with souls..... i'm good with that
@tankcommander33 I came onto this video thinking "cool I'll see another great guy fighting for our country". Sadly all I've seen is some guy who jokes about going to hell and killing people, and thinks war puts tax dollars to good use.
Americans should not under estimate their enemies i know the americans are powerful but a couple of towel heads still held their position so many countries lost their battle o this towel heads with just a couple of ak's and rpgs
@AlfredDaSauce historically asymmetric warfare has been a bitch for the larger force... and in a place like iraq, with many developed urban areas it makes the job even harder because now the conventional force has to account for 3 dimentions more often, expend more resources and so on... and with USAS options being limited, like no making peace or walling off iraq from the world or a few nuclear strikes to induce fear, you take away the only things that make it possible to win this type of war
dammit I want to murder people too, too bad that in my shithole country our army is a joke that never sees any action - I can only hope for WWIII and full mobilization...
@Clarkizh what? so the US army just visits their terrorist friends for a cup of tea or something? off course the purpose of war is murder, you are the simpleton here.
and I doubt WWIII would be over so fast. nukes are way too overrated, the fireball of the strongest nuke detonated so far (the "Tsar" bomb) was only 2.3 km in diameter. do you know how ridiculous number of nukes you would need to create a devastation of apocalyptic proportions?
Its both good and bad seeing the military taking such extreme measures to kill the enemy. Good because its saving soldier lives, but bad because its a huge waste of money and its also bad collateral damage.
Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them Also ye shall be strong in war I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties cower before me, & are abased. I will bring you to victory & joy: I will be at your arms in battle & ye shall delight to slay. Success is your proof; courage is your armour; go on, go on, in my strength; & ye shall turn not back for any! -The Book of the Law III:3, 28, 46

@MaSteRKuSH010 You again. Will ya get off the "can Bush be prosecuted bullshit. Thank God for George W, Bush. He had the balls to take the fight to the enemy and kick ass! The world is sooo much a better place for every one of those muslim scum he SMOKED!!
@Trashfished Well said. Someday when all the pot smoke has cleared and these college kids have some kids of their own, Bush will been given his due credit.
here hows this for a quote, i lose no sleep when i lay waste, einstein was a pussy and every tank round that goes down range is a great use of tax dollars
@tankcommander33 True,every 105mm mult-purpose HE round that goes downrange is the cheapest round you can get so it's a very efficent use of tax dollars when compared to expensive HEAT rounds with little blast area.
@tankcommander33 I dont think thats what Einstein means, he was an immigrant to America remember? he was all for freedom. Also he worked on the Manhattan project, I wouldn't call that your usual hippie peace parade.
@tankcommander33 Where were yal at, Mosul ? And do they let the 11B's drive that version of the stryker, or is that a tank crew on that? im 11B, I like the regular strykers, but that thing is to tanker'ish for my style. Ill take being dismounted, or Bradley. Gunner- HE- 2500M- Fire.
you should see me blow that shitbag to virgin heaven when he tried to shoot me out the back of his car, or the one that CCO blew out of the building. that what makes this deployment sssooooo good
thats good, my lab top got hit, i couldent get on, lol it was funny, it wasfunnyer bec my rto lost his cigs that he went through hell to get from the same bullet lol.
hell thats good, im very glad u could get back to the civi life, man i couldent stand being away from my men, i love it over here, i just got back today, so why did the army let u go? commision was up?
infantry soldiers carry m4's with a m68 sight (red dot) or acog sight (4X) the infantry has a designated marksmen in the platoon who can carry a acog or a larger powered scope but snipers are a se[erate element they carry the m24 or the barrett .50 can sniper rifle. infantry is a hard job and physically demanding. if you join get in shape, running, backpack with 35 pounds or more for a few miles. the army is a great place to be.
I don't think that would be retarded for not passing. I think if they did fail, it's because they didn't have the persistence and focus to get it done.
my friend said that us army/usmc infantry get to choose what weapon they wana use out there in the field that they dont have to use m16s/m4s this enrages me because he acts like he know everything his AIM is XeroBreh so yea can someone tell him that hes a dumbass and to get his facts straight
well i sleep well at night that i am doing my job by preventing the production of future terrorist. i was suprised though to find out that not leading them as much is not a good thing they run just as fast as adults
heat rounds are the same as efp, heat rounds have a copper slug lining on the front of the shaped charge, the shaped charge provides a focused direction, don't challenge me on this one i've done it for 20 yrs
Southernsoldier83, EFP and HEAT (rpg, panzerfaust, at-4, et al.) are two completely different methods. The efp uses directed explosive to manipulate a non explosive (like copper) to form a projectile and throw it. HEAT uses the Munroe effect, shaping of the explosives to focus SOME of the blast in an intended manner. Both are "shaped" but the term "shaped charge" generally means the HEAT method, i.e. No penetrator except the explosive gasses. HEAT has to hit the target. EFP can be some distance.
Its the same concept. Place explosive behind some type of metal in a special shape. Explosion pushes the metal through itself and forms a jet. This jet then punches through armor.
You need to study this a little more cause your explaining the same thing and trying to give it two different names.
Don't sweat it. Idiots like to get things stuck in their head and not move on as they don't want to be wrong. This happens all to often on the internet.
Talking about armor and other capabilities is a voilation of Opsec.
Have you not got a brief? These are things that our enemies want to know like where to aim at on a weapon system to knock it out. I am an Intel Officer I should know!
First, Classified? Information does not need to be classified to be covered under OPSEC. I am a Battalion Intel Officer, I think I should know. You need to go and ask someone like your OIC or NCOIC. If they don't know let me know I will get you the information you need on OPSEC.
Second, watch who you curse at cause sometimes they outrank you sgt!
SouthernSoldier83, you are absolutely wrong about EFP vs HEAT. You may be an S2 but officers are still academic office workers. EFP and Munroe Effect are two very different ways to defeat armor. Classic officer telling the "po' enlisted folk" how it is. I may have 13 years in, was 11B, was a Dragon and Javelin gunner, and have a BS but I still don't know shit, huh? I should've done ROTC, then I'd know my job.
CID? Hmm.... Maybe to far there deptacon. Just tell the man his mistake and he can correct it himself. EFP's were created a long time ago. They just had a different name like shape charge or hollow charge. They have been in use since WWII. Instead of IEDs and those damn Soviet AP grenades they were put on rockets and tank rounds. Like the Panzerfaust and Panzershrek and HEAT rounds. Where do you think the idea for the RPG-7 came from? So blaming shape charges on OPSEC breaches is kinda baseless
this vehicle has a 105 smooth bore, that round was a canister round consisting of 2100 3/8 in tungsten steel balls. it the worlds largest shotgun round
What kind of round did this smash1 use? Never seen this Stryker variant but I've seen the other variants in Lewis. The medical variant's awesome... hi-tech stuff. Thanks for the post.
there is no tendency at all, the flipping over is a myth. i have fired the maingun 360 degrees and it has never came close. the flipping myth started when the vehicle was being designed. the engineers tilted the vehicle 5 degrees at a time until it flipped so they could put a cant firing inhibitor on the vehicle
I saw a footage of future weapons once. It's pretty scary when the mgs was firing its gun. I mean, what if the mgs is climbing a slope? Just a concern. I pretty much worship your country's military equipment. IMO, the mgs will never replace a tank. MGS is more of a infantry support weapon, isn't it? Shame so many had to die due to poor planning.
I meant so may died in Iraq and afghan. IMHO you haven't really got used to guerilla warfare. That's your problem in vietnam too. Hope the top brass will fix that.
well so far no mgs crewman has been killed. insurgents have died trying. the mgs is was never intended to replace tanks and yes it is an infantry support vehicle.
True, I think the MGS is a great idea. The fact that it and all stryker variants use the same chassis is brilliant. I'm a big fan of parts-interchangeability. The part about deaths and gurilla warfare is about your armed forces in general, not the MGS stryker. The MGS is awesome.
very little, it is the same as a stryker basically. there are some extra kevlar blankets in the turret and some added armor under the front but not enought to stop a good sized IED.
Yeah Tank Commander.... you need to keep your mouth shut. Friendlies aren't the only ones who check out YouTube. stop discussing OPSEC on public forums.
I should forward the link to CID Ft Lewis.... wont take them long to figure who you are and give you a new OPSEC brief.
EFP's were created by the enemy because of OPSEC breach's....just like this.....they found our weakness's because some soldiers can't keep their mouth shut.
forward the link and if you ever threaten me again you and i will have a serious issue. i have done briefs across the country and these videos have been approved by s-2

The MGS looks wobbly. I suspect a tendency to roll over. I'd like to know.

there is no tendency at all, the flipping over is a myth. i have fired the maingun 360 degrees and it has never came close. the flipping myth started when the vehicle was being designed. the engineers tilted the vehicle 5 degrees at a time until it flipped so they could put a cant firing inhibitor on the vehicle

I saw a footage of future weapons once. It's pretty scary when the mgs was firing its gun. I mean, what if the mgs is climbing a slope? Just a concern. I pretty much worship your country's military equipment. IMO, the mgs will never replace a tank. MGS is more of a infantry support weapon, isn't it? Shame so many had to die due to poor planning.

I meant so may died in Iraq and afghan. IMHO you haven't really got used to guerilla warfare. That's your problem in vietnam too. Hope the top brass will fix that.

well so far no mgs crewman has been killed. insurgents have died trying. the mgs is was never intended to replace tanks and yes it is an infantry support vehicle.

True, I think the MGS is a great idea. The fact that it and all stryker variants use the same chassis is brilliant. I'm a big fan of parts-interchangeability. The part about deaths and gurilla warfare is about your armed forces in general, not the MGS stryker. The MGS is awesome.

what kind of protection does the armor have on one of those?

very little, it is the same as a stryker basically. there are some extra kevlar blankets in the turret and some added armor under the front but not enought to stop a good sized IED.

Yeah Tank Commander.... you need to keep your mouth shut. Friendlies aren't the only ones who check out YouTube. stop discussing OPSEC on public forums.
I should forward the link to CID Ft Lewis.... wont take them long to figure who you are and give you a new OPSEC brief.
EFP's were created by the enemy because of OPSEC breach's....just like this.....they found our weakness's because some soldiers can't keep their mouth shut.
