  • @jedrooney4cherylcole In this case, a member of Al-Qaeda ^^

  • RIP Gadafi, you will be missed

  • how the fuck they get big ass guns like that ahah

  • SÜRTÜĞÜN ANKARA!DA Kİ İKİ ASKER DAYISINDAN NE HABER...??? [İLAÇ_400]...!!!4

  • @routergods yes, but it's well effective against armored vehicles and light tanks

  • hahahaha anti-human gun we win in the end

  • @bomenjan No it's a ZPU-2, a twin KPV mount used as standard AA machinegun in the 1950-1960 by URSS. Widely exported, copied in china. Today still used in many poor countries, chinese and russian productions. It is 14,5.

  • That gun is a ZU 23 aa gun it fires the 23mm round not 14.5mm round

  • Libyans fell in love with 14.5mmX114 for various reasons:

    #1 They suffered a humiliating defeat in Chad whose main weapon was technicals vs the Libyan Tanks

    #2 The terrain in Libya is mainly flat, so the small Technical can carry 14.5mm (even 23mm) and go smoothly opposed to rugged terrain where 12.7mm is the lighter preferred choice

    #3 Most the fighting was with no air cover in a mostly flat terrain, so 14.5 range of 3KM made it the best choice

    14.5mm X 114 suited that war

    RIP Gaddafi

  • dont tell me that the guy with the camera is you?!
