An insurgent in Iraq attempts to destroy a Humvee with an RPG.
This video is the insurgent equivalent of the famously stupid “Girl Shoots Herself in the face” video (youtube has taken it offline).

lol am i missing something? …where’s the humvee
Eddy, down the alley I guess. That was the description of the video on liveleak.
regardless… can’t say i’m not happy with the outcome lol
OMG! LMFAO! Did you see him fly! That is great! This should used for teaching people, KNOW YOUR TARGET! LMFAO!!! Thanks for the post!
Hes a rocketjumping pro. Is it bad that I think thats really funny?
lol, is the cameraman f’ing laughing? I guess they weren’t that close…
Actually that flying stuff is parts of the wall. If you stop the vid at 13sec you can see him standing there as it flies past. His body tightens up into the arms in, legs in, upright cringing position. Because an RPG is such a directional blast, it is possible that the concussion was far reduced to the shooter and that he just got sprayed with brick and mortar chunks :shrug:
I wonder why the video stops once you see his sandal
Watch it frame by frame, he doesn’t fly into the wall. He turns sideways and slowly walks away.
This video should be called ‘how to shoot a humvee.’
