That is nuts.

Having been on the receiving end of a mk40 2.75 rocket from a Huey gunship in '68, I can attest that the noise and seeing the incoming rocket trail coming at you is an 'OH CR*P' moment and all you can think is how far can you dig your face in the dirt.

The KA50's B8V20 is a podded launcher that holds 80mm Rockets. A little bigger than the 70mm mk40 used by gunships in Vietnam.

Love how they casually walk away from almost being blown to bits. LoL
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I've found the few times I've seen people have a "holy crap that thing that just happened 3 seconds ago could have obliterated me" moment where they weren't harmed, they don't have much of a reaction.

That may be so, but the video clearly shows some people walking away, then crawling.

Yea, the same crossed my mine too, Nefarious.   You can clear see them just walking away like nothing happen but there is one guy crawling too.

The guy who was walking to the vehicle, before the rockets hit. I'm sure he needed a new change of drawers.  :bolt:
