Helicopter Kills... OUCHIE!

[LadyHawke]

This could be a little graphic for those of you with weak stomachs. Turn up your sound a little so you can hear radio banter between the pilot and gunner...

The only word I can think to say is... HolyGod!...but I guess that's the reality of war.


I watched this vid a few doezen times...these look like farmers on a tractor in a field.

They are farmers, Charger... but they were setting landmines!

Is that for real though? It looks real steady for a helicopter, doesn't it? (i've never been in one, so i would not know for real though). And the machine guns sound toyish (but again, i've never been close to actual firing machine guns either).

The sound of the gun is pretty much heard through the hull of the ship, which in actuality your hearing it over the recording system that I imagine is the same system allowing us to heard the pilots voices. Also it’s heard in mono with if you’ve heard mono enough things tend to sound tinny. If you’ve ever watched video if an APACHE it can be very steady and pretty much sit a still as ice when the right pilot is behind the stick. As far as if this particular video is the real thing is anyone’s guess, they say it is and I guess no one can dispute it at this point. :cool:
