FSA camera man eats RPG backblast

He starts by filming down the barrel of a BMP and keeps filming down the backside of an RPG as it is fired. Brave or stupid? You make the call!

  • Zoomed in. He'd have ended up looking like that guy from Hellraiser 2, otherwise.
    Apologies for the obscure reference.

  • The one filming is actually at a safe distance, there's only the illusion that he's directly very near behind the rpg because the camera is in zoom mode.

  • The head catholic Nun in Syria says ALL western media is completely bias towards the Sryian State, and completely ignoring the many atrocities committed by the FSA.

    There is no real meaningful agenda for the west to support the FSA. Its all down to pure ignorance and assuming anyone suppressed by an official authority are the good guys.

    • @Honsou The media bias is not an accident, nor is it ignorance. It's willful malice.

      This unrest in the Middle East was meticulously hand-crafted by Western intelligence agencies. The CIA, most likely working with Mossad, planted Agents Provocateurs to kick off the Arab Spring while making it look like a grassroots uprising.

      The purpose of the conflict is three-fold:

      1. Prevent the replacement of the USD with gold as a reserve currency for trading oil in the region.

      2. Disrupt foreign - mos More..

    • @cameltoegunner So says the guy with the avatar of a woman wearing short-shorts a few sizes too tight, who makes it his personal mission to harass other LiveLeak commentators. What are you, twelve?

  • He was waaaaaay outside the blast area.

    He used the camera zoom. Obviously.

    Otherwise the camera would have gone flying and Achmed The Terrorist would have been Snackbar Screamin' along with his brain dead Terrorist pals.

  • The backblast would have hurt, but it's not fatal.

    RPG7 can be fired inside buildings because of the low launch blast (gunpowder squib) only later to be taken over by the boost rocket.

    This is seriously different to Bazooka and LAW which fire the entire propelling charge in the tube.

    Even worse is the Karl Gustaf recoil-less rifle which fires 2/3 of the propulsion charge backwards.

  • He was a lot further back than he looked, and I can only assume that his intelligence is less than average.

  • Obama's CIA paid for that RPG, too bad the camerman didn't realize how it works.

  • There wasn't any significant shaking of the camera so I would think he was on zoom and or a minimum safe distance.
