Here's one for you that's worth a listen, and will get you through several MONTHS. "The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night," A.K.A. "The Arabian Nights."

He explained that Kosovo was full and he wanted me for Afghanistan and I said I would think about it. I went back, called my boss (I was on leave from my job) and he offered me a “big” raise to come back. I ended up never going and went back to my job, that boss got me other jobs as he left and brought me with him. But boy could life have been different.

    @1:34 is he saying that he skipped the rounds off the hood into the drivers seat because he's not able to shoot that caliber at the personnel?

    • @wackoman544
      @wackoman544 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      no, that whole "cant engage infantry with a .50" thing is kind of misconstrued BS. The idea that it should only be used on equipment is because the weapons weren't designed with the precision to engage man sized targets. .50's are designed to tear apart cover light armored vehicles ETC. Naturally a M2 has a lot of recoil so If something is coming at you its easier to just start shooting low and let the recoil carry the burst up into the target. If you aimed and fired directly at the driver your first round or two MIGHT impact or come close but if you fire the first few low and the recoil kind of "stabilizes" you can put the rest of the burst in a pretty tight area.
