12.7 mm Machinegun from the hip

Oh those Russians . . .

Yeah he's firing only single shots or at most doubles and I suspect accuracy isn't going to be that good . . . but still, I wouldn't want to mess with a guy who fires a .50 from the hip.

For more don't mess with us stuff, here are Russian paratroopers jumping with their BMD armoured vehicles. Notice the retro rockets that fire jsut before the BMD touches down. Apparently they have refined the system to the point where the current BMD-3s (30 mm cannon) and BMD-4s (100 mm cannon) can actually be dropped with the crew inside and are ready to fight as soon as treads touch ground.

This is a self contained infantry and armoured force (they also have artillery and anti-aircraft weapons) that can be dropped almost anywhere in the world on a moment's notice.

Give me my M4 and I will drop either one of them before my heart rate would even think about rising. These clowns could probably 'kill' a stationary paper target under 50 meters. Although, anything more then that is merely Hollywood impressing everyone who doesn't know any better.

I wouldn't take it so seriously.

Like Natasha said, you shouldn't be taken this too seriously.

I for one know though that if you can fire one of those guns one-handed that you can most assuredly beat me in arm wrestling.

I'll take your 12.7 from the hip and give you HK G36 Gangsta Style



Edit: I though This Topic looked familiar.

I thought we had one about this before, but didn't remember who posted it when I found the video again by chance. Thought it was worth reminding people of anyway.
