Dude, best time, it was i think January 04, some enterprising motherfucker got his concrete skills on, started running into IEDs poured into parts of the curb, they would put wreaks out into the street for force us up onto the curb or drive over cars, if they where real smart fuckers they would fill the cars with boom juice so we got fucked either way.
I hate those guys
Damn
This is what happens when some POGs in back let 300 *tons* of Semtex go missing.
And billions in cash. And yes, that actually happened.
Shit, few years back an entire storage depot full of tanks, weapons, and ammunition we lent someone over there was found to be empty.
Only ever lost one tank in my column, some of the most macgyvered shit you'd ever see, it was a fake manhole cover, under it was two 152 rounds daisy chained together, caved the floor of the M1 in, all the bars broken, tank was r3kt but AFAIK everybody got out.
Tactical clarinet
Yikes; That's some old skool improvised AT.
Or is it an oboe, I can't see the reed
Dude, the IED dudes in Iraq where next level shit.
Things weren't so bad in the middle east until a bunch of fucking Chechens went down there and started training those fuckers.
It got pretty bad at one point, the only sort of "PTSD" i got from this whole thing is not trusting ANYTHING on the side of the road, they would freaking put bombs in the corpses of dead dogs and shit.
I never deployed myself, but we had to sit through a lot of classes on IEDs. Some of the shit they come up with takes some kind of impressive ingenuity.
Can't recall what the proper name for it is now, but there's a type made from an inverted copper cone and a whole bunch of explosives; The blast turns the cone into a spear of material that pierces the hull of a humvee and then goes clear through, spraying molten copper everywhere.
Shaped charge.
H.E.A.T
High Explosive Anti Tank, directional explosive, very short range, made for armor penetration, almost no shrapnal.
I believe they used another name for it, but yeah nah; That was the idea.
Monroe effect, shape charge, pressure shaped penetrator, all sorts of names for it.
What nead have they of Panzerfausts when RPG-7s are a dime a dozen?
At least one incident I can recall off of memory had a staff sergeant in the back seat of a humvee get both his legs blown off from the knee down from one of those.
Turns out he was the paranoid type though; Already had tourniquets on his legs.
Oof.
Mega oof.
Sort of couldn't help much during the ensuing ambush, aside from tossing magazines up through the gunner's hatch.
But uh, he lived.
Yeah, at least he lived.
Humvee's floor is barely anything, that was way overkill for that, would be like having a buzzsaw run though the cab
It came in from the side of the humvee, rather than the floor.
