its crazy how in this day and age videos like this are common.

i don't understand why they all stood and fired from the same position non stop.

i kept waiting for a sniper or someone who was a decent shot to dome one of the dudes.

These guys fight like I play on Call of Duty, pop around corner fire overly long burst just for fun, hope i don't get shot but no big deal cause it's only a video game.  Are they even shooting at anyone, they don't seem all that concerned about being shot at?

8 minutes of firing at nothing, mumbled snackbars, and questionable use of full auto. No humorously-dumb FSA deaths either.

The camera man likes to linger on man ass, too.

Anytime I see one of these, with the durka-jihad sights-are-for-unbelievers shooting, I think that half a dozen people who knew what they were doing with 03 Springfields could end them all in a very short time.

If it is Allah's will that your bullet hits the enemy, it will hit the enemy whether you aim or not.

i can't imagine the kind of damage a worthy military force could do if they ever interfered.

The guys who have survived this long appear to have learned a bit.  "Masters of combat arms" they are not, but there appears to be much less "spray and pray" and considerably more aimed fire.  Still some keystone cops moments and some "aloha snackbar" but the videos are not the same as two years ago.

Battlefield Darwinism. But no matter how much time we spent in Iraq, insurgents could never ever go toe-to-toe with us. They just would hide and trigger bombs from a hiding spot when our vehicles rolled by it. The Syrian military is no where close to the skill or professionalism of a western military, so it's not like they have to be great fighters to survive.





Anyway, these guys are getting their ass handed to them right now.

I've heard anecdotal stories that even the Iraqi police being trained by US forces refuse to use the sights, one quote being "Only women and Americans do that, Allah guides our aim."

If that's true, that would explain a lot.

We zero'd their weapons at 25 meters. If we could just get them to put a group of bullets on the paper itself, we called it good.



If we tried to get them to hit the silhouette on the paper, I'd still be over there trying to get them to put a group in it.

executive summary: a bunch of homos take pot shots at no apparent targets, in order to either secure funding, or prove to somebody that their money is well spent. No wonder the FSA isn't getting any serious help...I'm not taking these guys seriously.

60mm or 80mm mortar would be great there.

I remember people posting pictures of the Iraqis taking off their butt stocks too so their guns looked cooler. Never got deployed though so hell if I know how common that was.

Apparently, your thoughts and mine are very similar as I couldn't help but wonder if some of these guys developed their skills by playing battlefield 3 on co-op or something.
