    Interesting video as it reflects a certain level of combat training with the use of constant covering fire by .50s and the use of the light truck technicals to cover the advancing infantry as they made their way into the village...WHAT is more interesting is the impact the .50s are making vs the 12.5mm Russian HMG......it is able to push continuous fire and then taken a new belt from the ammo can...vs the FSA went out having to hand load each shell into a belt...for years the US Army had not used the .50 until late into Iraq and AFG.....was a major HMG used all over VN. There must be thousands of them still in storage warehouses left over from WW2 and Korea.

    Reminds one of advancing US infantry but with light trucks providing covering fire not Bradley's.....
