My bad, I didn’t notice the third one. Must not have watched till the very end. I guess I really wasn’t paying attention this morning – I didn’t even realize that the original comment said “rocket pod.” I just saw the word “rocket.” Oops

I assumed you didn’t watch it all the way through.

These are the guys we’re supporting, right? Might as well give them blank ammunition….its cheaper.
Josh
Ha ha ha ha ha!

The Qaddafi military can’t shoot any better, that’s the only reason they’re alive…
Mr Maigo
Thats the only reason I can think off
Doc
Yeah, fuck those guys. They shouldnt fight back at all against an oppressive government hell bent on killing as many of them as possible. They should go back to their homes unless they can afford $900 Magpul Dynamics courses and EO Techs and LaRue mounts.
If this same situation happened in the US, (hate to break hearts here) I’d say about 85% of the rebel forces would look the exact same, only with real cool looking weapons.
Dillankid
After taking several of my non-gun educated friends to the range, it could probably be worse actually…
Mark
Exactly.
That was my thinking and what led me to the comments section in the first place.
Rebels are by definition not regular military personnel. Often they’re private citizens fighting a more powerful, better trained, and better armed State sponsored killing machine. Given the State’s monopoly on murder, you can never beat the State at it’s own game. Very rarely does this turn out well for the rebels.
That’s not to say I agree with these rebels or not. I don’t care, quite frankly, which way this goes. It’s not our war and the US and NATO have no business being there.
Dave
Actually, Doc, you are correct. Fuck those guys, they are infiltrated with Al Qeada. We should be bombing them in the interest of national security, not toppling a harmless dictator (harmless to us).
And BTW, Magpul Dynamics may teach shooting, they don’t teach combat. But you are probably correct about our current population’s “skills”.

Are you KIDDING? It would look NOTHING like that! Look at the video again… none of them were overweight and I didnt see a single pro fishing hat in the whole group.
Nah, I wondered about that too. Why on earth would you need a Suppressed weapon in the middle of a battlefield? And why an F200, I mean, yeah, it’s cool looking but it’s a jamomatic.
It looks like something out of a Tom Clancy novel (or game based on such).
That one guy
I have serious doubt in one being able to accurately hit a target with a rocket pod meant for aircraft mounted to the back of a truck. But i guess it works. I wanna see them reloading those pods lol.
And SO MUCH TOYOTA. You know what they say: Toyotas dont stop. Well neither do these rebels. It’s a match made in heaven.
FunnyGunBunny
Toyota should pay these cats for their endorsements…It’s all about the endorsement deals…Get Dana White in there with some energy drink adds and some TapOut shorts, gaudy ass Affliction wear, and obviously some birkenstock sandals, WalMart the piss out of their little war…
I especially enjoy the blatant DIY nature of all of this, and really, i’m a little jealous…
That one guy
Didja see the picture of how the guy was trying to take a tank gun out of the turret so they could use it on something else? Jealous indeed lol.
Spray, pray and run away… Obviously too much COD multiplayer. The other side is probably equally as inept. Which for all involved is perhaps a good thing.
Actually further to add … I gotta say, I’m loving those converted Hind rocket launcher set ups on the backs of the utes. No accurracy of course but the “awesomeness factor” cannot be denied!
Antibubba
In their search for instructional videos, did they watch “Stripes” a few times?
Sweet mother of god… how are all these guys not dead?

It’s not a rocket. It’s a recoilless rifle
On the first one yes. On the third truck, no.

Who else just recalled this scene from Predator?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pNZ1oypbjo&feature=related
I think I only saw one guy bring the rifle up to his shoulder and aim it.
CC19 you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
the soviet rocket pod on that third truck was just….wow. it looked like it was held on with duck tape or some shit
Sometimes I wonder how Libyans can make machines like these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCyRBUAEneM&feature=player_embedded
But are unable to aim a gun
Like true heroes.
I did notice a lot of ptobabke overshooting.
probable
am i the only one who is stunned the dictator is issuing suppressed f2000s with launchers attached?
