If I were his PSG, I would check for injury, If he was good to go, I would start laughing violently while calling him several varieties of Dumbass!

It must have!

Dumb questions. Is that normal for that weapon? Do they always stand right in back like that?

Not to nit-pick, but my discriminating eye for military technology tells me two things.

1. That looked more like an anti-tank gun than an artillery piece, particularly since the projectile was loaded as a single cartridge by one man with what seemed little effort. It was laid for direct fire, and is too small a caliber to be used for another other than in anti-vehicle role.

2. It appeared that as soon as the breach slide up the weapon discharged immediately. Such a misfire is probably a result of either the weapon not being safe with some type of mechanical firing pin impediment and the firing pin striking the primer.

Poor guy, that the breech recoils back with the same force as the projectile which exits the barrel.

Oh my goodness that poor man


That is horrible I hope that they fix whatever caused that so it doesn't happen again

Hi guys

Did you notice the lack of concern from his fellow soldiers .

That looked like a British World War Two 6 pdr Anti-tank gun or the US copy.

They didn't seem too concerned.

Back to my question ... is it normal to stand right in back like that and so close?
