In the spirit of Rifle vs. Tank

I don't have anything hosting these, but I just got sent 3 small videos that put the tank video to shame really. Let's just say they show why you DON'T stand in the open during a gunfight. Anyone want em', just say so.

The guy with the RPG who gets over penetrated by the M249 rounds?

What in the hell? Why on earth was that guy doing in the middle of the street?

I don't know if that was warfighting or just Darwin's law.

1st he gets it then two guys on the video walk out to look at him. Gangmembers in LA would have more battlefield survival sense than that. "Back-blast area clear!" doesn't mean no cover and concealment!

Good call, Jeffar, on M249. Might have been '16 but considering those rounds just went right through him with out any splatter affect it had to be something light caliber and FAST as oppossed to .50 rounds.

Those had to be 7.62 rounds. Only way it could've been 5.56 is if it came from a SAW. An M-16 on 3 rd burst couldn't have hit him that accurately as fast as it did. Sounded like a heavier gun as well. And you're right about not being a .50....there'd have been nothing left of him had he been hit with that many rounds

My source on the SAW was one of the websites that host the clip.

Considering the ranges involved, a 5.56 from a long barrel shouldn't have much problem penetrating a human body.

The tracers imply it's definitely a machinegun of some kind.
