    On second thought, maybe dig those spades in. It’s common to let the first adjusting round do that in soft ground, but as you can see…. We had one come back even further on frozen ground, and it’s surprising how fast you can move when you really want to.

    Upon further review, your injuries are not service related.

    Looks like his foot got caught too.

    How bad do you think this hurt?

    Like a “fuck, I need to make sure I never… do that again… ow…”

    or more like a “where the fuck is the corpsman I’m done for the day” kind of deal?

  4. The howitzer, his groin! It works on so many levels! This contest is over! Give this man the $10,000!

  5. Look how the guy’s leg bends on the wheel. That’s not a happy kneecap ligament right there.

  6. hmm this looks suspiciously like AI, all guns fire at the exact same time, not a single one has any smoke comming from it neither you can see the shot itself but they all have the same dust effect in fron of them and they all move the same way, at the same time with the same distance.

    I usually would not go into the ai route with combat footage but i have seen a metric ton of fake historical pics and videos on facebook
