First deployment on a covert OP on the roof a building outside of Sadr. They were bracketing mortars in on the IP check point beneath me. Civilian takes off running down a bridge where impacts were. Get hit DIRECTLY with a 60mm mortar. Like so direct it was almost comical . One of those “oh shit!!!!” Moments watching him run. A huge cloud of dust and explosion just absolutely consumed him and no shit he came bursting out the other side of the dust cloud and ran another 100y and was fine. So yeah weird shit happens in war no matter what caliber you’re using lol
I shot a guy with my 14.5 that was running for the Turkish border. We had a strict no engagement policy across that line.
My "Capitan" said let him go, I pulled the trigger anyways
Split the fucker in half. His torso dropped right where I hit him, his lower half made it the last 10 feet to Turkey.
14.5mm puts um down every time
