its not an opsec issue as it was filmed and edited by combat camera and posted by Marines.mil.

That MedEvac helicopter you see towards the end is what I was doing over in Iraq.

Those boys, the Marines, ain't no joke. They take care of business. Even if it is hard as hell.

We lost three helicopters and two complete crews when I was in Iraq. The Taliban put a $1 million bounty on any MedEvac helo shot down. They didn't like that we were helping the civilian population when we weren't medically evacuating our own guys. I understand that is now up to $2 million.

post it up to photobucket and share

Uploading it now.

Edit: I decided to put it up on Youtube. I'll see how long it stays there. If they pull it, I'll make another Photobucket account. I don't want to have my bandwidth limit exceeded and all my pictures shut down. Gimmie about 10 minutes and it should be done. Luckily, I downloaded the 720p version.

Aight....here it is folks.

Thanks frank. Crazy shit man. How did they shoot down the helicopters? All I know it they aren't easy to shoot down using a rpg in call of duty lol.

No shit, you would think they would install a bunch of IR flares like the did in battlefield 3 to every helicopter. US army needs to get with it and play more video games for ideas.

Talk about having some flash backs.....

 

[stkjock]

the belt feed machine guns that were in the vid, 7.62mm I would guess, what's the effective range on that weapon?

 

[SteveP]

^ 240B and 240G -1100m

The hand fired machine gun was the 249(SAW) shoots a belt fed 5.56


Best part is the TOW missle. Always makes me smile seeing those get shot

 

[stkjock]

I was talking the SAW, I could think of the name, never in the service and only a follower in the periphery.

what are the 240B & 240G 50 cal?

No, they're a bigger version of the 249B aka SAW. They're 7.62mm, aka .30cal.
The 249B is a bad mother fucker. I love hitting targets 400+ meters out with it using 3-6 round burst.
