I think that they used black rounds. Being in a populated area, that is a lot of led falling back to earth and hurt somebody.

Personally, the way they reload the chamber like that dose seem a bit dangerous......especially they the second column so close behind the first column.

Yes, those were blanks. They had to cycle the bolt carrier each time because there isn't enough pressure in the gas system to operate it without a bullet traveling down the barrel.

Why they chose such ridiculous positions to carry out a rifle salute is beyond me. I'll be upset about that at my funeral too. At least it was just a beret and not an ear or something.

I'd be pretty amused if an ear came off at my funeral, though...

Yea, but the whole line timing is off.

Post by: Vudu15 on March 01, 2011, 03:24:08 PM: the entire thing seemed pretty haphazard, was pretty sad hope that was just a fluke...the Poles Ive ran into always seem very on point.
props to the guy for just a flinch and moving on.
