from the video owner:
There's more to the video also. I edited the end. Not allowed to show dead people, also it was a pin that came out of the broke .50 cal. As far as checking it, everything was done. I just didn't think anyone would have wanted to see that boring stuff. I'm the driver by the way, it was my helmet cam.
There were 4 there, if you look closely, they crashed 2 motorcycles. The other 2 got away that day. They were killed later on.

@mlmcasual That 50cal could have gotten them killed if a vicious Taliban had been carrying an RPG or grenade, they are really lucky to have caught them pants down

When I was serving back in 2003-2006 we had eye's on the enemy. We would send back video to the commanders and who ever else to review them and you could always see the enemy firing back and we would zoom in to buildings etc and seen them clear as day.. These vids now days seem so fake to me cause I been there and seen it first hand.. 99.9% of vids today you see nothing but US forces firing at nothing, Me being there I can not understand this.

@USMCSniper This is from the original poster
The .50 cal went down, the TC wasn’t aware the m249 was in the turret so he handed up his m4, the Taliban fired first (we were just trying to get them to stop running, hence my honking), There were 4 there, (They all died) if you look closely. They crashed 2 motorcycles. The other 2 got away that day. They were killed later on. The other turret gunner

It's no wonder his .50 jammed. Did you see how his chain fed ammo was rattling around the first half of the video?

@TheWustenfuchs If there is a bad link in the belt than yes. Could be a minor twist in it.

A pin, or something, came out of the 50. while they were bouncing around, according to comments above.. Don't really know how MG's work so i'm just taking their word for it.

Don't know, I would not waste my time driving around in a field on the other side of the world for a cause that is one big hoax. The Muslim terrorists have the West exactly where they wanted us: divided, scared and in crisis. And for a big part this is because 'we had to be there'.

@slapstop Lol who's divided or scared? Sure the economy is shitty, but nobody is divided and nobody is scared. Where's your proof of this hoax?
Don't you have big foot pictures to get developed or something. You like Dupstep. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Scared? You don't see the fear that has been imposed on the non rationale people in order to support wars? Divided? You don't live in Europe. Hell yes we are divided. We came forth out of unity, but crisis and fear have divided us. Our current generation has lost touch with history, doesn't know anymore that it was desire for peace and unity that our forefathers fought for. The only thing you hear now is; 'me, me, me' and 'fuck Muslims' while Islam is the least of threats we should w More..

My squad leader would have smoked me until I died, if my 50. was not firing. I would have never seen the light of day again.

@11beezy Are you supposed to fire off a few rounds every morning to make sure it's working? I have no idea how these things work.

@mrert546c Yes there is a firing pit before you leave the wire. You must fire weapons everytime before you leave the wire. And they are to be cleaned after every mission. POG's sometime do not have the discipline do do so, which cost them their lives.

LOL! Was the safety on? It's happened before, get excited and forget to take the safety off and you don't know why your weapon won't fire.
