50 Cal night shoot (ROYAL NEW ZEALAND NAVY)

[snorgus123]

meanwhile in the 747 a mile away.....

[uwmil13]

bullets are fast

[MrDrgreenthumb666]

nice

[stockcar269s]

Cool video, reminds me of when i served on the leander class frigates, not only did the dibdabs shoot at flares but also at 3 or 4 plastic 20 litre containers tied together. The range off the volkner rocks beside white island used to be entertaining.

Also reminds me of us shooting at a decommissioned aussie patrol boat off jervis bay in convoy, Kiwi's were the only ones to hit the damn thing thats with the Four Fives and .50 cals.

[FordRacerMan92]

Damn those must fly for miles

[alexandersunivers91]

its like star wars

[icepoop20]

thats a flare coming downward right?

[greedkiller]

You just shot down the sun, I guess we'll fight in the shade then.

[saltydog45]

1 in 5 tracer at $10 a round...blaze away as they would only incinerate it at Kauri Point  ":)

[TomCat686]

the 3 people who dislike this video are either anti gun fags or people who just hate life so much they don't think anything is cool. that looks like alot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JOEYP1970]

@TomCat686 You took the words right outta my mouth! lol The first thing I said when I saw the 3 dislikes was buncha fags haha

[traindude194]

@vsboy25

It has come to my attention that you know nothing of this subject. A) all bullets are carcinogenic and bad for your health because lead is a heavy metal and the being shot is also bad for your health.

B) tracer rounds have a magnesium component with another compound mixed in. As the magnesium burns, it creates magnesium oxide which is non toxic and even beneficial for the environment.

[alocubanstyle]

So cool u can see the rounds bounce up from hitting the water

[82111141]

america has to pay NZ debt too?? hahaha

[shittyfuck]

1 in every 5 ?

[AfrikaaBombeetza]

NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF BUYING A NEW GUN IN THAT AMERICAN PIECE OF CRAP BLOWS UP EVENTUALLY!

[mattyem]

@AfrikaaBombeetza This design has been around since ww2, Maintenance schedules ensure safety and prolonged life usage

[KickassCommando]

@mattyem Wrong, since WW1 :)

[Akimyp]

so that is what you learn in the navy :D

[RuHartnett]

.....I see why the Americans win the WWII..

[Vlakpage]

I don't know why you all blabbering about america when this is clearly new zealand navy, just look at the desciption. Those USA trolls are really everywhere.

[bbnnkk1]

It sounds like a heavy metal concert rofl

[pbonanatta]

Algún día su imperio caerá y la paz volverá a renacer en el mundo...

[WarClouds04]

No fishes were harm in this live fire exercise Haha

[cheesoos]

@vsboy25 how about you go hug a tree (or whale) because those bullets are not doing squat to the environment.

[Qu4DSprayz]

Fishing boat 4 miles away

[vsboy25]

i see why America is epic debt.

[mattyem]

@vsboy25  such ignorance, people like you amuse me

[vsboy25]

@mattyem my view stands this is a waste of resources, and disturbs the eco environmental waters.

[soldier135799]

@mattyem oh and you Americans are hardly ignorant to any other country right? fuckin hypocrite

[mattyem]

@soldier135799 I AM NOT AMERICAN, NEITHER IS ANY ONE IN THE VIDEO

[peachesgod]

@vsboy25 you should also see that they protect our country, and they spend god knows how long on that ship, they gotta have fun too.

[vsboy25]

@peachesgod this is not fun its wasteful and pointless and destroys ocean marine eco harmony.

[peachesgod]

@vsboy25 yeah it is pretty fun actually, and a few bullets in the water will do piratically nothing compared to oil spills and all that.

[vsboy25]

@peachesgod the waters are full of whales and what not and this type of really unnecessary ammo waste effects the eco balance.

[peachesgod]

@vsboy25 the water is also full of ships leaving material in it too.

[vsboy25]

@peachesgod listen here those rounds contain depleted uranium in their core and once in waters it has a major effect in the waters now go play your x box and what not.

[KG84C]

@vsboy25 Once again, ignorance.

This is a 0.50" (aka 50 cal) weapon, DU ammunition not readily available, or even militarily justifiable for a relatively small calibre weapon.

Try 20 to 30mm territory, then your on, but only about a dozen countries have DU stocks, so don't worry about smaller players such as NZ.

[vsboy25]

@KG84C these rounds contain high levels of carcinogenic by products that will enter the water, this type of action is wrong and those rounds may not have DU but have many other potent sub class radio active elements.

[peachesgod]

@vsboy25 i play pc sorry :P

[TheUndutchified]

@peachesgod

Killing innocent people u mean ? and defending ur fucking country from what ?, 3rd world innocent people who are 10000 miles away from america ? is that what u call defending ur country ? u americans disgust me

I hope more americans get killed, because they fucking deserve it

[Theanimatedcow]

@vsboy25 oh im sorry, i didnt realize that checking weapons and testing rounds for SAFETY PURPOSES was a reason America was in debt. dont be such a dumbass...every country does weapons testsyou ignorant piece of trash.

[fargone164]

@vsboy25 did you know americas war bill is almost last in the budget healthcare is num1 bye the way we have almost a bottomless supply of ammunition left over from Bosnia gulf war Vietnam etc. it would be a waste of tax payers money if it just sat there and collected dust.

[vsboy25]

@fargone164 Oh I see just because there is left over ammo lets destroy the environment with it so it will not go to waste, you are a stupid cum ball.

[fargone164]

@vsboy25 lol please tell me you dont believe in global warming lol gore is a lier he was caught lying so now he gets money in the form of donations from the sorry bastards that believe him. lying

[vsboy25]

@fargone164 you are very rud eperson, and yes its real the earth will not last forever the way people are treating it. all this ammo wasting and lead put into the ocean does not help like this video shows.

[badgerattoadhall]

@vsboy25 epic debt? per capit its $40,678.76 for the US and $40,368.64 for australia

[planb1532190]

@vsboy25 your country must be in debt because they obviously can't afford a good education system for you to understand english

[APerson47]

@vsboy25 This isnt an american ship.. Its a kiwi ship

[vsboy25]

@APerson47 impossible those are yank accents and this is American firepower

[APerson47]

@vsboy25 Fire Power??? they are only 50 cal machine guns... nothing special....

[APerson47]

@vsboy25 And hence why it was uploaded by a kiwi... Hmm

[mattyem]

@vsboy25 I assure you it is NZ, I was there!

[XmodGT1]

@vsboy25 America is a continent and not a country, but you mean United States.

[vsboy25]

@XmodGT1 incorrect, North America is a continent, America, U.S and U.S.A are different ways of articulating in short form this, i am not even American and i know this.

[XmodGT1]

@vsboy25 Not, my country is in Central America, a part of the continent of AMERICA, but say America an a country, in this case United States is a selfish way from US citizen, because the name of they country is bad for not to say stupid one. Only ignorant people say American as nationality or America to the country. Any way the father Nort America has the last name of his son America.... see is stupid say that!

[vsboy25]

@XmodGT1 you are very stupid and probably poor, North America, South America two different continents, i suggest you learn some facts you uneducated little brat.

[XmodGT1]

@vsboy25 So you say that i'm stupid? Dude the stupid here is you and the rest of people how think that are 2 "Americas"... Dahhh!!!! Searh where is Guatemala and you will find the answear. America is dividide in 4 parts, North, Central, South and Caribean America. But ONE, SINGLE, AMERICA EXIST. SO THE STUPID HERE IS YOU ASSHOLE!

[Robbo20000]

@XmodGT1

calling someone "The stupid" really doesnt do you any favours, remedial.

[DerBotoxPapst]

@vsboy25 haha xD

[KG84C]

@vsboy25 It's a New Zealand ship, how is America in debt ?????????

[vsboy25]

@KG84C yes its come to my attention this is a NZ ship i never knew NZ had weapons and ships as they are very peaceful and smoke smoke hemp all day.

America has been and will be in debt to the tune of trillions for many more years little boy.

[KG84C]

@vsboy25 Your ignorance is no excuse, and by the way diaper bag,

I WAS IN BAGDAD IN UNIFORM

WHILE YOU WERE IN YOUR DADS BAG IN SPERM FORM.

HA HA.

[Shlomayo]

Now we know why it's dark at night: the RNZN shoots down the sun...

[disturbedone5009]

Someone a few miles away is having a bad day.

[flyskater]

if i was the enemy, i would attack that ship once they fired all their ammo and missiles.

[chreisyAFNF5]

i think he missed...

[cragbolman]

what a waste of good ammo, we are paying for these veryy expensive rounds.....each one of them....keep it for the action an keep us winning.

[tbrowniscool]

@cragbolman youcant win without ttraining... 

[Striker51z]

Look at 1:35. You can see the rounds bouncing of the water.

[RangelSotero]

DO IT! Kill the giant fireflies!!! lol

[Moritz19081980]

Quite accurate ...

[mantle208]

The RNZN will never get to engage a proper target. maybe if there ships are sent into pirated waters more often they will see action. No matter they still play a part protecting New Zealands waters. The difference between the US weapon men and the RNZN SCS branch is common sense. yes the US have supreme technology, weaponry and vessels. How ever the RNZN SCS branch have higher drive and common sense. no use having all that fire power and no brain. Super guy win a war before you run your mouth

[BfoSHIZnats]

wow they actually deflect off the water!

[DerGeckarbor]

Firework for real mens.

[Monk305ful]

Coitado do sol hehe virou penera etá arminha forte essa . 50!!!

[radicalGindustries]

thumbs up if the bullets look like blaster shots from star wars

[donnav786]

so many monies!

[mattyem]

@donnav786 you would be surprised how cheap buying ammunition is in bulk! plus this sort of expenditure is budgeted for training purposes

[adnoble]

@mattyem I like your comment because it actually makes sense- instead of "wow we waste allot of money"

[MrDip02]

@mattyem hahahaha the only thing is i found bulk 100 rounds of 50 bmg for 400 that's still expensive as shit

[mattyem]

@MrDip02 defence force buys in the thousands of  rounds and at much much cheaper prices

[MrDip02]

@mattyem because i think they get a discount don't they?

[TheCrazyFinn]

@mattyem Not to mention the stock has to be cycled, anyways. ;)

[mattyem]

@100silverpizza it's the RNZN, not the USA

[mattyem]

Aint the USA buddy

[141827099]

:D nice video

[fjbutch]

excellent



[mattyem]

@supergunman64 funny guy aye :-p im pretty sure its not the whole RNZN, may I suggest you volunteer for a "real target for us to engage" help us get our aim a little better and all. Would be pretty beneficial for all concerned parties hahaha nah. A target is a target, doesn't matter matter if its a flare or a boat, the point of the ex is still the same

[SSaNNEE100]

Looks fucking cool! and what the fuck some fucking bullets bouncing off the water to the sky! :D

[SSaNNEE100]

Looks fucking cool!

[mattyem]

at least a few hundred Nautical miles from land, even further from land habited by people

[whothaplaya]

How far out at sea was the ship?

[snowflakeFactory]

2 miles away,

a fish is going to have a terrible day

[huntinforit]

Boys will be boys!!!!!!!!!Haha

[SSDogSoldier]

Remember people, the rounds are already paid for, otherwise they wouldn't fuck be there. It's not wasting, once they been paid for and created, you can do what the fuck you want with them.

A certain number of ammunition will be manufactured, if you're not in the combat zone, what else you gonna use it for? You're gonna train obviously.

[322978743]

cool, at 0:31 you can see some of the bullets ricocheting off the surface of the water :P

[Keh0ol]

every 4th or 5th is a tracer?

looks pretty damn cool how they bounce off the water surface

[KG84C]

Correction, NZ taxpayer

[KG84C]

Ahem, it's an ANZAC FFH class ship, so if your not an Australian citizen paying tax, stop bleating about tax shit.

One 5 inch shell costs more than all that put together, green clowns.

[darbowlay]

@KG84C haha. so funny. You know why they made their comments? because US is the center of the universe and they think they are the only one exists on earth.

[fookgeorgebush]

it would suck cock if you were in a boat and you turned on you flash light and they mistook the light for the flare and fucked you up.......in the butt.

[FictionStrange]

stfu quit bitchin..then go waste your money on drugs n' hookers. ahaha

[MrVDC1996]

what a waste of our tax money

[Noliving]

@MrVDC1996 well as andyakadante pointed out most likely they are firing old ammuninition that most likely can't be used anymore, I mean look at how dim those flares are.

[mattyem]

@MrVDC1996

all munitions have a shelf life. makes sense to use the older munitions to train our personnel as opposed to just destroying it.

[JOKERSTER1919]

@mattyem sell them to nigeria or Iraq like the old days they have to kill too

[nascar51523fan]

@mattyem i believe you destroyed him with your comment

[KG84C]

@MrVDC1996 As an ex Navy serviceman, your wrong mate.

Losers on the dole are a waste of money, go do something about that.

New people are coming through all the time, they need to gain expertise in weapon handling, and trained people need to maintain those skills.

And as you have been made aware, shelf life, why waste the stuff.

It's also awesome fun.

[ViperVenom16]

they shootin down da sun!!!

[andyakadante]

...fuckin morons they fire old rounds that can not be used in battle

it they distroy them or have a little fun

[Dragon22873]

@andyakadante So why cant they be used? The bullet flies.

[Noliving]

@Dragon22873 because it loses its effectiveness in terms of velocity, ever fired a bottle rocket that is a year old? Ever noticed how after a year a bottle rocket doesn't really fly or make as loud of a bang as it did on the day you bought it from the store. Samething, it may still fly but it is no longer an effective bullet.

[Dragon22873]

@Noliving Yeah but I mean, I look at these bullets here, and they still seem to fly fast enough to go into someone

[Noliving]

@Dragon22873 a .50 caliber is not really designed to go into someone they are designed for armor.

[Dragon22873]

@Noliving Yeah I know, but I mean, if a bullet flying at 2000 mph hits you, you'll feel it! :D

[Noliving]

@Dragon22873 ya but they don't travel that fast.

[Dragon22873]

@Noliving 2700FPS is quite fast to me.

[Noliving]

@Dragon22873 no it is but its only going to go about maybe a 2-4 miles at the most before it stops.

[Dragon22873]

@Noliving Yeah, but if the enemy is closer than that, it's still an effective bullet! :D

[Noliving]

@Dragon22873 depends on what your target is.

[Dragon22873]

@Noliving A baby :D

[copeman89]

couple dollars per shot

[TheDustyWilk]

your tax dollars hard at work

[Noliving]

@TheDustyWilk You mean tax cents due to the fact that there are nearly 200 million tax payers also paying for those bullets. You probably paid at most half a dollar for all the bullets fired in that clip.

[reggaeambassadorful]

@Noliving so what its only money the world evolves around life not money fuk sake stop being so tight

[Noliving]

@reggaeambassadorful My point was that Dustywilk was complaining about his tax dollars being spent and my point was that the government probably didn't even spend 1 dollar of his tax payer on that amunition.

[TheDustyWilk]

@Noliving

first of all I didn't pay anything for those bullets. I'm not American. But I was referencing the servicemen clowning around. They are paid through public money. There are, what, 4-5 guys there, and they're all getting paid, and they're fucking around. No disrespect to them, it just bothers me a bit.

[foxhunter77957]

@TheDustyWilk how dare they have fun in thier otherwise miserable lives dont they know they are suposed to be mindless robots. ok now move over my turn to fire

[Noliving]

@TheDustyWilk Ya and they are not paid by the hour, keep that in mind. Money isn't being "wasted" here by them clowning around. The ammunition and flares here have to be used by a certain date or else they become ineffective. So does it really matter if they use up the ammunition while having some fun or if they do it your way and just use up the ammunition.

[mattyem]

@TheDustyWilk service men are allowed down time too,

[chebra36]

I can remember doing this back in the 90s. Good times

[ryanrenesis]

omg the bullet actually bounces off the water!!! :O:O

[crouchtrac]

@ryanrenesis its amazing... a bullet with enough velocity to bring down a wall, enough power to tear limbs clean off, enough hydrostatic force to peel you like a banana and enough power to kill you if it misses by a foot, yet it bounces off.... WATER!

[P1004469]

Alarm Aircraft!!!!!!!! Get some.

[jamrockification]

the last round had damn good lead

[420Tenke]

I LOVE the look of tracers flying. i wonder what it'd look like seeing a tracer come at you :|

[crouchtrac]

@420Tenke suppose you wouldnt know about it for long

[DDFcash]

oh noes! they shot down the sun!
