AT-4 - The AT4 (or AT-4) is a portable one-shot anti-tank weapon built in Sweden by Saab Bofors Dynamics (previously Bofors Anti Armour Systems). In the U.S. and NATO inventory it replaces the M72 LAW (Light Anti-armor Weapon). It is intended to give infantry units a means to destroy or disable armored vehicles and fortifications they may encounter (though it is not generally sufficient to defeat a modern main battle tank). The launcher and projectile are manufactured pre-packed as a single unit, and the launcher is discarded after use.

M249 SAW - The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (M249 SAW) is the United States military designation for a sub-family of the Minimi squad automatic weapon, or Mini-mitrailleuse, for "mini-machine gun". Both are 5.56 x 45 mm NATO light machine guns manufactured by Fabrique Nationale (FN) and its subsidiaries.

M4 Carbine - The M4 Carbine is a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by ArmaLite. The weapon is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst (like the M16A2), while the M4A1 has a "full auto" option in place of the three-round burst. The M4A1 is sometimes also found with a heavier barrel to withstand heat from sustained fully-automatic fire.

[USAtotally]

@Trondheim18 sry i havnt been on in awhile. in the United States Army, where i am enlisted, u are not unless it is ur MOS, or job, to do so. as in there are different weapons for different people in squads and teams

[USAtotally]

hey dont be such a critical person, plus anyway that was iraqi troops mostly. imagine wut it would be like if u fired an anti tank weapon wouldnt u get an addreneline rush?

[crf250frdr]

dude savage shut the fuck up u piece of shit

[101andrewj]

@xwar i dont have to be there to know that it wasnt a 1000 man banzai attack. its obvious in guerilla wafare, and when you are doing more damage then the original threat, whats the fucking point at all, they should only fly rotary and fixed wing like russia in afghan, they would do the same amount of civilian damage but with 100x less casualtys. america is probably the best in the world when it comes to conventional linear warfare, but they are retards when it comes to asymmetrical

[xwar]

@101andrewj And you know that because you were there... oh wait, you weren't.

Here's a question, Why doesn't the guy put down the camera and help his comrades fight.

[kingpav]

[805flyks]

[the7observer]

[Blazenwave]

@JDsgreatz28 Ummm You can buy full automatic guns, you just have to go through a lot of paper work.

I love how every real marine in iraq in every vid ive ever seen they are all like WHOOOAOAAA HELLLLL YEAH!!!!! GET THAT SUM BITCH!!!!! Most none professional branch if you ask me but i think it would be sweet to be one because they at least know how to have a good time while they're fighting. seals would have shot 8 rounds and killed 34 insurgents, but come one if your a marine your only going to get to play with those sweet toys for a few years then once ur a civilian its back to semi auto.
