Yeah, but I wouldn't want to be trying to stop any of those guys with just a handgun, no matter what it is. They look really determined, and make impressive headway even when they get lit up. And you can see the troops backing up when those guys come towards them, even as they fire. Shows the importance of the Tuller drill, 21 foot rule. dp |

Steyr, do you know if these are Filipino fed. troops v. rebels? Farmer rebellion? Death squads? Just wondering what could have caused these guys to rush the armed guys despite seeing fellow farmers cut down like that.

Quoted: This Filipino mentallity comes from back when farmers could attack US troops armed only with .38 revolvers and kill them with machets before dying of the gunshot wounds. This led directly to the army seeking a more powerful sidearm and eventually adopting the Model 1911 .45 ACP. Actually the Filipino tribe involved in that were on the outer islands and considerably larger than your standard 98LB filipino. If I remember correctly they had considerable Spanish ancestry. You have some of the most diverse tribes in the world in the Phillipine Islands. Not to discount how tough they can be. I have knowledge of a filipino being dropped at 50 paces, one shot .38 special. But anyone that can eat balute(sp) has my respect. [puke] |

I'm pretty sure the "farmers" represent the communist factions causing so much trouble as of late. The troops are probably your standard "communist-terrorist" eradication squads. |

The last time I was over there the NPA (New Peoples Army) was very active around Subic. I was in a jeepney on the road to an outlying village when a jeep full of NPA came racing up. The filipino's in the vehicle grabbed me and threw me to the floor, and covered be with their goods till the NPA passed. I would have been killed on the spot if the NPA had spotted me. They are a viscous group, and they care nothing for human life. |

Affirmative, thedave1164.
A cousin of mine was a Marine in the security det at Subic in '88-'89 - I got to see him both coming and going to WESTPAC cruise. He spoke of sporadic contact, sniping (potshot) incidents from the NPA. They are a viscous group, and they care nothing for human life. That's certainly what I understood. Tate |

That sure does re-enforce the concept of a man with a knife standing 21ft. away can kill you faster than you can draw, fire, and drop him--doesn't it?

Well I know what "I" can accomplish with a knife.
General rule, armed = threat. Act accordingly. Also be able to defend yourself WITHOUT a gun. This way you can keep the bastard off of you/at bay until you bring the firearm (which you hopefully happen to have at the time) into play. |

This incident happened about a couple of years ago in one of the provinces in Mindanao - in Bukidnon if my memory serves me right.
Several municipal policemen accompanied by militiamen (CAFGUs) were assigned to serve an arrest warrant on the head of a religious cult (Tadtads I think). A TV crew accompanied them to cover the arrest. As the arresting team entered the cult's barrio, several cult members attacked them from behind with bolos. The cultists believed that they would be protected by their "anting antings" (religious amulets) from 55 gr. FMJs. Subsequently, there was a short lived public outcry on the incident questioning the propriety of the arresting team's response to the attacks. |

It looks like the first guy takes a shot to the right leg and keeps going. Good enforcement for the center-of-mass argument.
In the second part of the clip, it looks like the soldier fire a couple rounds and the attacker goes down. It then looks like the solder aims carefully and finishes off the attacker. My first thought was that guy executed someone that was out of the fight, but then again he could have tripped and was getting back up. Who knows... Keep in mind, if the Brady minions have there way, that'll be us trying to fight the JBTs when we're only armed with machettes. |

I don't think anyone involved was looking to take or become a prisioner.
