It's a hybrid spaceframe- 4130 tubes with rohacell/carbon stressed panels. The opening you're talking about is probably part of the floor- carbon/kevlar composite with venturi tunnelsramses wrote:Nice. Is it a steel spaceframe?

Ground clearance is ~15mm

That first bit. The enemy have clearly got our location marked and it is within their field of fire - so let's take turns popping out from cover while firing blindly. Meh, rebel logic.
Also, this looks like something from spudfiles

T'would seem that whomever is shooting back is using the same "tactic" of aimless, indirect "hope and an allah akbar" fire.

In this case, perhaps. A (NSFW! and not for those with a sensitive disposition) search of "syria sniper headshot" on youtube shows that there are at least few good shots in the SAA.Gippeto wrote:T'would seem that whomever is shooting back is using the same "tactic" of aimless, indirect "hope and an allah akbar" fire.

well executed (pun not intended)... I wonder if he was targeted specifically because he was operating a PKP or was he just a target of opportunity...
good that they film everything - at least it helps to show that wars are dirty

There are plenty of (again, NSFW and not for those easily offended by mild gore) headshots on rebels armed with anything from AKs to RPGs to HMGs on technicals.POLAND_SPUD wrote:well executed (pun not intended)...

Good luck getting a headshot with an SVD past 400 metres but I gather the SAA has access to more advanced weaponry.
This guy at 10:49 has a 9A-91 FFS!
Now if only they could stop sending tanks into built-up areas unsupported by infantry.
I suppose they think that if they show themselves getting shot then it gets them underdog support and encourages more would-be martyrs to join the struggle.good that they film everything - at least it helps to show that wars are dirty

What happened there Talk, did the tube fail?
BTW everyone, I'm off to Adelaide for 6 weeks to do some stuff at a museum for uni so I may not be around here too much. Will tune in when I can.

Was wondering how the guy got injured, was he firing too close to something or did the launcher fail?
looks to me like the launcher may have gotten an hairline crack from or before they were cleaning it, and the pressure from the round blew the tube body into the guys head
