I Obliterated That Target

About this video

A guest recounts a combat engagement where he was in the back of a Toyota Tacoma under fire, unable to see the source of incoming rounds. After dismounting and moving through streets, he spotted a 12.5mm Dushka machine gun and was asked by an Australian teammate to engage it. The guest fired approximately 100 rounds at the target, successfully neutralizing it, though his teammates teased him afterward for the amount of ammunition used.

Key takeaways

• The guest describes being under fire while riding in a truck bed, experiencing disorientation and difficulty maintaining position
• The guest engaged a Dushka heavy machine gun that was firing on Afghan forces after an Australian teammate requested fire support
• The guest successfully destroyed the target but was jokingly criticized by teammates for expending 100 rounds to do so
