As mentioned, it's adrenaline most likely brought on by sensory overload. My friend took a round in the bicep in the middle of a firefight during one of his tours in Iraq and he mentioned that he didn't even notice until somebody pointed out that he was bleeding a few moments later. It was when he looked down that it clicked in his brain that he'd been shot and THEN it started to hurt like a b*tch.

@@dontneedtoknow5836 People really underestimate just how tough those helmets are. It's common for a 7.62 rifle round to get deflected or caught at 400m+. At sniper ranges, a 7.62 to the helmet is far from a guarantee that penetration will happen.
Former Marine here. Before we deployed to Iraq, while still in Kuwait, they showed us a number of videos... one of them a Marine getting shot in the helmet right at the forehead. It pierced the helmet's kevlar, but got wedged in the helmet before fully penetrating. Of course, they also showed us videos of Marines getting shot in the head and dying from a sniper hiding in a car's trunk... In those shots though, the shooter was close and aimed for the face, not the helmet.
Oof, does that mean it still poked out inside and pierced the cranium? Because if so, then that soldier is going to have to deal with intense trauma to that area what with the shards of shattered skull lodged in the frontal lobe.
10:48 You can hear the one "A" gunner say, "Talking guns" with a hand signal. this means both guns will alternate burst giving a constant volume of fire on the target. The A gunner stands behind the gunner and observes the strikes of the rounds on target. He will adjust the impact of the rounds by slapping the gunner on the right or left shoulder.
Brannon Dyar gets even better when you can adjust fire without needing an A gunner to direct you as well. Having a good sense of Gunners initiative is a useful skill to pick up

Hey bud, just want to say I've been loving the videos. Thanks! I'm an U.S. Army Infantry vet and MG's have a 3 man team that consists of a team leader, gunner, and ammo bearer. The automatic weapon in a squad is absolutely the most casualty producing weapon. It really depends on the cohesion and experience of the team members, but I've seen gunners turn targets into minced meat at 1,000 M. (Nostalgic sigh) good times...

@@gyeoglyeo7409 I like how when obviously a phone autocorrects a single word in someone's comment there are ten people to comment how they can't spell. Yes, congratulations, you noticed what everyone else did
Ya when I was active duty in the Marine Corps when we got to the lesson on retreat in Infantry school the Instructor said “ya fuck that you won’t be retreating” and skipped that lesson 😂
Kevlar 29, a synthetic ballistic fiber bonded with a synthetic polymer resin, to create a helmet capable of stopping most bullets, as well as shrapnel and shell fragments in a skull protecting device that weighed between 3.1 (for the small model) and 4.2 pounds (for the extra-large size).
The enemy sniper in the first clip was using an svd chambered in 7x62 but the marine corps helmets are made out of Kevlar and metal and other things. Basically you have to be be using high penetrater rounds to penetrate it.
In the first clip! That was no ricochet! It was a direct hit! His helmet was not fully sitting on his head it had just a slight gap and that gap saved his life because the bullet went through and through if you hear him say that! Helmet saved his life! That's why we need to make better and more advanced helmets for our soldiers! Head injuries are the number one injury in combat!
Cave systems usually have multiple entrances and exits. The Taliban were able to escape Afghanistan and travel into Pakistan all through one cave network.

I'm so glad you speak English as well as you do and are reacting to meaningful footage. Getting such knowledge and insight by someone with experience and such a grasp of my language is indispensable, so seriously, thanks for these.
I feel like the enemy tactics in these scenarios are to just keep up the thought of a constant presence. With that being a FOB they are the front line of possible expansion further into enemy territory. The enemy expends a handful of guys just to stop the progress of 100s if not thousands of soldiers even if for a brief period. They're idiots and it's suicidal but it's an interesting war game.
From what’s been observed, very rarely do insurgents attack coalition FOBs/COPs with intent to over run them. Majority of large scale assaults are done against ANA and Iraqi military outposts because insurgents know that they actually have a chance at success. Some COPs in isolated regions have been attacked on a full scale with advantage towards the insurgents because American forces take a heavy hit and decide to decommission the COP whether or not the insurgents were successful at first.
I love how you make a clear and separate distinction between open terrain and urban combat. It's important people know there is a BIG difference in tactics.
In regards to the first video - Kevlar helmets the marines wear are designed to be hit with rounds and let them enter the helmet where they will be redirected around to the back and pushed down towards the neck of the marine. The round at that point regardless of the caliber would have lost all required velocity to even pierce the skin. After they exit the back of the helmet they usually bounce off the marines plate carrier or pack.
Those Kevlar helmets CAN deflect even higher caliber rounds. If you observe the video the angle was from the front on the side of the helmit so the bullet could be deflected.
Sniper have a partner known as their spotter. They call out changes in wind and they call out the distance of the target. They keep the sniper up to date on the conditions to help him take a precise clean shot.
That helmet shot was a miss. He was aiming at the first man at the opening. He just happened to catch that round high up top of his helmet. He was very lucky.
I saw a video of a marine come through a door and in an instant a shot hit pretty solid on helmet, but the shot was stopped by the Kevlar. he lived, seemed he was fine. I always wish the best for these guys.
From what I can tell, the sniper took a while because he had to adjust his NPOA (natural point of aim) slightly when the target moved. You can see him wiggle his prone position and change his legs, butt, and feet. It is much easier to shoot when your NPOA is correct because the equipment and your body position naturally support the weight of the rifle and you don't have to strain muscles as much. Very important when you are shooting at any significant distance for a precise and steady shot.
The Marines spend between $300K-$400K to develop both their desserts and woodland camies while the Army spent millions of dollars to develop their ugly grey camies and they sucked.
Army: Uncle Sam we broke some more equipment. Uncle Sam: Alright heres another million to get more and I will talk that and give it to the Marines. Army: but it from the 1970's with nothing modern. Uncle Sam: they'll enjoy it. Marines: Hell ya some new equipment it so fancy and modern.
This dude is so Patriotic, I love this show! He loves America and all Americans, what more can we ask for? :) Support this Guy, he's funny too, lol, his face expressions n then his accent, yaaa, he's badass.
Someone being “the fourth” doesn’t mean they’re royal :) it just means they’re the 4th generation of being named the same as their father and their father before them etc.
Actually our kevlar helmets were designed to withstand a direct hit from a 7.62 round in any direction. A fun fact is that when our military first used them during the Granada invasion our troops were ordered to put covers on them to hide their shape-they resembled the WW2 era German 'stahlhelm' helmet too closely.
The reason the headshot didnt kill him is not because it ricochet off something else. It was a straight shot. What happened was the bullet came and hit the curved part of the top of the helmet and the curvature of the helmet deflected the bullets path of trajectory, saving his life. It skimmed and rode that curve like a snowboard on a hill, for people who dont like big words.
Did read in the paper about a british soldier who got lucky. Bullet entered the side of the helmet and the round went round the inside, without hitting his head.
The reason the dude getting shot in the helmet didn't die was by the time the round reached him it had lost enough velocity to ricochet off. Plus helmets are curved and bullets can easily ricochet off curved surfaces.
I know this would be extremely different than any other content you've been posting recently, but do you think you could do a video like a day in the life of Artur

Hey bud, just want to say I've been loving the videos. Thanks! I'm an U.S. Army Infantry vet and MG's have a 3 man team that consists of a team leader, gunner, and ammo bearer. The automatic weapon in a squad is absolutely the most casualty producing weapon. It really depends on the cohesion and experience of the team members, but I've seen gunners turn targets into minced meat at 1,000 M. (Nostalgic sigh) good times...
12:55 "And you're in your gay cave, what can you do?!?"
what I thought he said too😂
Hang out with your kalosh i guess
The one where he gets shot in helmet reminds me the scene from Saving Prvt Ryan where he gets shot in helmet , takes it off then gets shot in the head 🤦♂️
Ahhhhh, cover before you uncover!
I know
That scene made me feel relieved and then I lost some brain cells
700 meters is tough in high winds in the mountains. Good Luck at 700 yards with a stock AK :-p
fuck 500 would be a stretch
They have plenty of other rifles. Snipers definitely exist over there
"America has Anti tank missiles, anti everything missiles" hahaha damn right, God bless America and all her Allies!!
To Estonia from Canada we support you brothers.
When he said “first thing we were taught is make sure we can retreat” only things that came to mind is, Chesty Puller and the fact that Marines don’t retreat! Oorah!!
Me too lol
Ya there’s no retreat in the Marines. We’ll just reposition until we win.
yeah there is a reason we are issued knives
daniel Trout fix bayonets!
*Tactical Withdrawal*
I love how the PJ blackhawk gunner just lights the whole mountain as much as he can with the CIWS to counter a possible RPG.
Man the work u put in for your vids and the appreciation for your patreons and subs, makes me wanna sub right after this comment, love your stuff man !
Hello from Tennessee. Nice to see your support. Thanks for what you do
“First thing we were thought, make sure you can retreat”
As a marine I was never thought how to retreat
Yes, we just fight in the other direction
Nor spell
@@gyeoglyeo7409 I like how when obviously a phone autocorrects a single word in someone's comment there are ten people to comment how they can't spell. Yes, congratulations, you noticed what everyone else did
Ya when I was active duty in the Marine Corps when we got to the lesson on retreat in Infantry school the Instructor said “ya fuck that you won’t be retreating” and skipped that lesson 😂
1:56 You see his helmet go back so you can tell something hit it
"One shot, one Kill. Ready to die, but never will!" Thats a USMC moto haha
Kevlar 29, a synthetic ballistic fiber bonded with a synthetic polymer resin, to create a helmet capable of stopping most bullets, as well as shrapnel and shell fragments in a skull protecting device that weighed between 3.1 (for the small model) and 4.2 pounds (for the extra-large size).
I hope there Russia does not invade so we can get this great content. Hello from Canada!
Me to
im canadian and hope russia doesnt invade either
I'm Canadian too
Also you'd like Carlos Halthcock, just react to his whole story he is a Corps Legend
Not just Corps legend, American legend!
Eric Prothero if u have questions about him than u would have a lot of questions about Simo Häyhä
The enemy sniper in the first clip was using an svd chambered in 7x62 but the marine corps helmets are made out of Kevlar and metal and other things. Basically you have to be be using high penetrater rounds to penetrate it.
In the first clip! That was no ricochet! It was a direct hit! His helmet was not fully sitting on his head it had just a slight gap and that gap saved his life because the bullet went through and through if you hear him say that! Helmet saved his life! That's why we need to make better and more advanced helmets for our soldiers! Head injuries are the number one injury in combat!
Love you’re vids keep up the good work!
you are vids
-watching Artur Rehi for the the reactions- 👎
*Watching Artur Rehi for the Estonian TH-camr Cup Competition* 👍
- Kristoffer - lol
He should react to the sabaton song “devil dogs”
It’s about the USA marines in ww1
Cave systems usually have multiple entrances and exits. The Taliban were able to escape Afghanistan and travel into Pakistan all through one cave network.
WHAT!
You must be joking.
@@terminallove3531 lol
See those caves
Yeah
We can't get through them
Hey
What
*Shoots missile*
Good job
I wouldnt underestimate the autoriflemen, my mom went to iraq 2004-2005 and got 3 confirmed kills with the 240 bravo. Much respect to artur and any other soldier that fights for a fair cause. Being a soldier is not easy.
Sh!t H0wdy y'all. My dad's half of the family are from Odessa Texas, and of course Midland (next door to Odessa) and Pecos as well.
It's good to see the Country of Texas in such a great lead.

You should react to another Marine corps video called “Jamsheed the RPG God-Boss”! It’s a sick video. Like something out of an action movie
Yeah, Jamsheed is a legend !!!
I love that one
The round skimmed the top of his helmet
If you listen hee says it went through.
@@shoachiwarrior huh he does.
Wanted to say, thank you for your service. It doesn't matter what country, what flag you March under, you did your duty. Thank you friend.
I'm so glad you speak English as well as you do and are reacting to meaningful footage. Getting such knowledge and insight by someone with experience and such a grasp of my language is indispensable, so seriously, thanks for these.
I feel like the enemy tactics in these scenarios are to just keep up the thought of a constant presence. With that being a FOB they are the front line of possible expansion further into enemy territory. The enemy expends a handful of guys just to stop the progress of 100s if not thousands of soldiers even if for a brief period. They're idiots and it's suicidal but it's an interesting war game.
From what’s been observed, very rarely do insurgents attack coalition FOBs/COPs with intent to over run them. Majority of large scale assaults are done against ANA and Iraqi military outposts because insurgents know that they actually have a chance at success. Some COPs in isolated regions have been attacked on a full scale with advantage towards the insurgents because American forces take a heavy hit and decide to decommission the COP whether or not the insurgents were successful at first.
I worked with the Estonian Army for a couple weeks in 29 Palms, CA. Mostly just the medics, I worked in the aid station. Semper fi!
Thanks for sharing more content. Always appreciate your perspective as a soldier.
Been watching you for a while now!! Love what you do from tulsa Oklahoma
I love how you make a clear and separate distinction between open terrain and urban combat. It's important people know there is a BIG difference in tactics.
They said the helmet shot went threw, so it was just above his head and only went threw the meat of the helmet.
In regards to the first video - Kevlar helmets the marines wear are designed to be hit with rounds and let them enter the helmet where they will be redirected around to the back and pushed down towards the neck of the marine. The round at that point regardless of the caliber would have lost all required velocity to even pierce the skin. After they exit the back of the helmet they usually bounce off the marines plate carrier or pack.
Those Kevlar helmets CAN deflect even higher caliber rounds. If you observe the video the angle was from the front on the side of the helmit so the bullet could be deflected.
Hello comrade I won’t invade Estonia anymore
Wow I’m second
Papa please don’t hurt Estonia anymore. You already spanked him too many times and now he ran away.
We are second
Can we see ur secrets to that moustache???
Of course you won't invade Estonia anymore.
You died from a stroke.
Oi stalin wanna have a second round on winter war
7:55
"William Esping"
*perry didn't like that*
Perry will remember that
The sniper round that hit the first marines helmet was a 7.62 Round shot by an SVD/ PSL.
Sniper have a partner known as their spotter. They call out changes in wind and they call out the distance of the target. They keep the sniper up to date on the conditions to help him take a precise clean shot.
That helmet shot was a miss. He was aiming at the first man at the opening. He just happened to catch that round high up top of his helmet. He was very lucky.
You should watch the documentary “Restrepo”
That’s a good one for real life is military footage in the deadliest valley in Afghanistan.
Yes please
I saw a video of a marine come through a door and in an instant a shot hit pretty solid on helmet, but the shot was stopped by the Kevlar. he lived, seemed he was fine. I always wish the best for these guys.
From what I can tell, the sniper took a while because he had to adjust his NPOA (natural point of aim) slightly when the target moved. You can see him wiggle his prone position and change his legs, butt, and feet. It is much easier to shoot when your NPOA is correct because the equipment and your body position naturally support the weight of the rifle and you don't have to strain muscles as much. Very important when you are shooting at any significant distance for a precise and steady shot.
Army: Uncle Sam, why do the Marines get way cooler camo than us?
Uncle Sam: Shut up Army! It’s because they’re marines and you’re not!
Also Uncle Sam: The army gets 100 dollars and the marines can have my pocket change
My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment
The Marines spend between $300K-$400K to develop both their desserts and woodland camies while the Army spent millions of dollars to develop their ugly grey camies and they sucked.
Army: Uncle Sam we broke some more equipment.
Uncle Sam: Alright heres another million to get more and I will talk that and give it to the Marines.
Army: but it from the 1970's with nothing modern.
Uncle Sam: they'll enjoy it.
Marines: Hell ya some new equipment it so fancy and modern.

Ahzi here from Louisiana checking in with you. AIRBORNE All The Way
Someone being “the fourth” doesn’t mean they’re royal :) it just means they’re the 4th generation of being named the same as their father and their father before them etc.
Also VI is the 6th not the 4th
May the 4th be with you 😂
My dad was a marine. He was snipped and died instantly
:( aw
I was shot in the helmet during OIF in 2004 , i also know 3 other soldiers who got shot in the helmet . Our helmets are awesome and they save lives.
Actually our kevlar helmets were designed to withstand a direct hit from a 7.62 round in any direction. A fun fact is that when our military first used them during the Granada invasion our troops were ordered to put covers on them to hide their shape-they resembled the WW2 era German 'stahlhelm' helmet too closely.
Hey artur you should react to the video of marines taking fire and calling in air support.
Hey Artur, you should react to the M3 Bradley or the B-52 Stratofortress really interesting.
B-52s can be easily shot down by any nation whose air defense system doesn’t suck.
@@nole8923 Hanoi and the NVA would disagree
@@nole8923 That's why they carry lots of cruise missiles for stand-off attack of high threat areas.
"Enemy thought. Now the guy is dead" fucking killed me bro😂💀
The reason the headshot didnt kill him is not because it ricochet off something else. It was a straight shot. What happened was the bullet came and hit the curved part of the top of the helmet and the curvature of the helmet deflected the bullets path of trajectory, saving his life. It skimmed and rode that curve like a snowboard on a hill, for people who dont like big words.
17:28 ish hit hard. You never know when it could be someone’s last second
React to Omar “crispy” Avila.
Agreed
Yes please Arthur watch the three parter Black Rifle Coffee did on him!
100% Omar Avila is one true BADASS. Would be a amazing react video!!!!
Did read in the paper about a british soldier who got lucky. Bullet entered the side of the helmet and the round went round the inside, without hitting his head.
The reason the dude getting shot in the helmet didn't die was by the time the round reached him it had lost enough velocity to ricochet off. Plus helmets are curved and bullets can easily ricochet off curved surfaces.
I know this would be extremely different than any other content you've been posting recently, but do you think you could do a video like a day in the life of Artur
