As mentioned, it's adrenaline most likely brought on by sensory overload. My friend took a round in the bicep in the middle of a firefight during one of his tours in Iraq and he mentioned that he didn't even notice until somebody pointed out that he was bleeding a few moments later. It was when he looked down that it clicked in his brain that he'd been shot and THEN it started to hurt like a b*tch.
When US Military gets shot at by a sniper, the next thing that happens usually is they identify the building. Then the building goes away. Not my story. Just a friend of mine.
exactly snipers are taken extremely seriously either arty strike if not in a populated area or air strike either way that building wont be used for that again
My father is a retired E-9 30 year Marine. 3 tours in Nam, with the 1st Recon/ 1st Radio Battalion. I admire him and am so proud of his service. Semper Fi, Marines!
Ted Harvick please tell your dad thank you and, “Welcome home!” The welcome home he deserved the first time around. My oldest is a Marine, and for his 21st birthday he wants to get drunk in Disney World with his Godmother! Too many drinking stories and he wants his own, “No s#it there I was, drunk with Minnie and then.......” Sometimes innocent people got punched, sometimes it took 4 people to go to the bathroom, once there was an emu, but we don’t talk about that.
@@dontneedtoknow5836 People really underestimate just how tough those helmets are. It's common for a 7.62 rifle round to get deflected or caught at 400m+. At sniper ranges, a 7.62 to the helmet is far from a guarantee that penetration will happen.
Jake State Farm I didn’t know. *Whoosh* but even then, use of ordinance obliterated the NVA with brutal effectiveness. Unfair fight, it’s true, but look at the casualties of US/NATO forces vs. NVA casualties, the difference is in the hundreds of thousands. We lost politically, but that’s a different war. Proxies are always complicated.
Former Marine here. Before we deployed to Iraq, while still in Kuwait, they showed us a number of videos... one of them a Marine getting shot in the helmet right at the forehead. It pierced the helmet's kevlar, but got wedged in the helmet before fully penetrating. Of course, they also showed us videos of Marines getting shot in the head and dying from a sniper hiding in a car's trunk... In those shots though, the shooter was close and aimed for the face, not the helmet.
Oof, does that mean it still poked out inside and pierced the cranium? Because if so, then that soldier is going to have to deal with intense trauma to that area what with the shards of shattered skull lodged in the frontal lobe.
10:48 You can hear the one "A" gunner say, "Talking guns" with a hand signal. this means both guns will alternate burst giving a constant volume of fire on the target. The A gunner stands behind the gunner and observes the strikes of the rounds on target. He will adjust the impact of the rounds by slapping the gunner on the right or left shoulder.
Brannon Dyar gets even better when you can adjust fire without needing an A gunner to direct you as well. Having a good sense of Gunners initiative is a useful skill to pick up
US Marine Scout Snipers always have a spotter who keeps the shooter updated on the range, wind, and other activity downrange. They are a close team who function almost as a single person.
To bad there's not any footage I can find on nickolas Irving. He was an army ranger sniper, 33 confirmed kills in 3 month. Nicknamed the reaper. You should read his book. One of the most dangerous snipers in us history.

New to the channel here. I’m an American that lived in Taiwan for a bit. I made friends with an Estonian that lived a few doors down from me there. He told me how our soldiers had a base close to where he was stationed and they would swim out to a wrecked ship and dive off of it. Crazy shit. I apologized for our imperialism and he quickly corrected me. He said, “If you have the power, it’s your responsibility to keep the free world secure.” That really impacted my outlook on geopolitics. I really respect Estonians and am proud to call you guys our allies.

US Snipers are all about stealth, they'll go very long periods of time, even a day or two just getting into position just to take a single shot, can't afford to miss.
When I read the title of this video I thought of all those marines who died protecting our country and helping some other country’s freedom so who ever’s father, son, wife, daughter, friends, cousin or anyone you loved or was close to you who fought in the marines and came home safe or didn’t come home or came home hurt may god always watch over them and may the lord always be on there side

Those helmets are made of Kevlar, and I may be wrong but if I remember right mine said it was good for 7.62 point blank when I was in the U.S. Army. It may very well be a direct shot
@CodingCrusader1095 The helmet is rated level IIIA (as per DARPA, and has been since 1983). You are correct about the vest not being rated for anything except fragmentation (pre 9/11 kevlar anyways). They have new stuff that is much tougher and will stop up to 7.62x51mm NATO. EDIT: The vest will stop 7.62x51mm NATO rounds with the ceramic plate inserts. The vests themselves aren't able to stop anything over ~9mm or so.

I’m Air Force and most of my buddies are marines and army and it’s pretty cool to see vets from other countries reviewing and praising our tactics and equipment. Keep up the awesome videos man.
Cave systems usually have multiple entrances and exits. The Taliban were able to escape Afghanistan and travel into Pakistan all through one cave network.
Hey bud, just want to say I've been loving the videos. Thanks! I'm an U.S. Army Infantry vet and MG's have a 3 man team that consists of a team leader, gunner, and ammo bearer. The automatic weapon in a squad is absolutely the most casualty producing weapon. It really depends on the cohesion and experience of the team members, but I've seen gunners turn targets into minced meat at 1,000 M. (Nostalgic sigh) good times...
Man the work u put in for your vids and the appreciation for your patreons and subs, makes me wanna sub right after this comment, love your stuff man !
I feel like the enemy tactics in these scenarios are to just keep up the thought of a constant presence. With that being a FOB they are the front line of possible expansion further into enemy territory. The enemy expends a handful of guys just to stop the progress of 100s if not thousands of soldiers even if for a brief period. They're idiots and it's suicidal but it's an interesting war game.
From what’s been observed, very rarely do insurgents attack coalition FOBs/COPs with intent to over run them. Majority of large scale assaults are done against ANA and Iraqi military outposts because insurgents know that they actually have a chance at success. Some COPs in isolated regions have been attacked on a full scale with advantage towards the insurgents because American forces take a heavy hit and decide to decommission the COP whether or not the insurgents were successful at first.
I'm so glad you speak English as well as you do and are reacting to meaningful footage. Getting such knowledge and insight by someone with experience and such a grasp of my language is indispensable, so seriously, thanks for these.

Ya when I was active duty in the Marine Corps when we got to the lesson on retreat in Infantry school the Instructor said “ya fuck that you won’t be retreating” and skipped that lesson 😂
I love how you make a clear and separate distinction between open terrain and urban combat. It's important people know there is a BIG difference in tactics.
The Marines spend between $300K-$400K to develop both their desserts and woodland camies while the Army spent millions of dollars to develop their ugly grey camies and they sucked.
Army: Uncle Sam we broke some more equipment. Uncle Sam: Alright heres another million to get more and I will talk that and give it to the Marines. Army: but it from the 1970's with nothing modern. Uncle Sam: they'll enjoy it. Marines: Hell ya some new equipment it so fancy and modern.

Those Kevlar helmets CAN deflect even higher caliber rounds. If you observe the video the angle was from the front on the side of the helmit so the bullet could be deflected.
The last video is from 1st platoon in 1/6 at Patrol Base Georgetown. I was in 2nd platoon at PB Manassas. We've got a documentary called Combat Obscura. It shows the true side of war. It's shitty. At the end my squad is ambushed. You'll see me a few times in the doc. After the ambush you'll see 2 Marines shellshocked. I'm the one with the back to the camera who turns hitting the smoke. Appreciate what you do. Stay safe. EDIT: You nailed it when it comes to desert warfare in the mountains. At most you'll see muzzle flashes and the dusk kick up from their position. So you'll suppress and call in CAS or drop mortars.
Hey man love your videos, was just wondering about all the music in this video and wondered if it is usable. loved the vibes from them. Keep up the great work man!
A friend of mine (who I've completely lost touch with over the years,) was a PathFinder in Special Forces. He was a little guy, who jumped out of the airplane with nearly twice his body weight of gear. I remember seeing him demonstrate his job at an air show. The announcer said that he and another man were responsible for securing the LZ, and if they didn't, they had to find their own way back, without the rest of the team. My friend confirmed this.
Jersey is in the channel isles, British mate.starting to watch more of your vids, I'll spread the word kidda,ex L.I. (Light Infantry).best regards from County Durham England.
The enemy sniper in the first clip was using an svd chambered in 7x62 but the marine corps helmets are made out of Kevlar and metal and other things. Basically you have to be be using high penetrater rounds to penetrate it.
“Dude, you got shot.” “I did get shot” *chuckles* what a lad

Typically when someone gets shot in the helmet and is fine its usually has to do with distance, angles, etc and well luck

And thickness of the Kevlar

I’m Air Force and most of my buddies are marines and army and it’s pretty cool to see vets from other countries reviewing and praising our tactics and equipment. Keep up the awesome videos man.
Thanks for sharing more content. Always appreciate your perspective as a soldier.
God bless our troops who defend our freedom you have my full respect!
-watching Artur Rehi for the the reactions- 👎
*Watching Artur Rehi for the Estonian RUclipsr Cup Competition* 👍

Cave systems usually have multiple entrances and exits. The Taliban were able to escape Afghanistan and travel into Pakistan all through one cave network.
WHAT!
You must be joking.
@@terminallove3531 lol
Hey bud, just want to say I've been loving the videos. Thanks! I'm an U.S. Army Infantry vet and MG's have a 3 man team that consists of a team leader, gunner, and ammo bearer. The automatic weapon in a squad is absolutely the most casualty producing weapon. It really depends on the cohesion and experience of the team members, but I've seen gunners turn targets into minced meat at 1,000 M. (Nostalgic sigh) good times...
Man the work u put in for your vids and the appreciation for your patreons and subs, makes me wanna sub right after this comment, love your stuff man !
I love how the PJ blackhawk gunner just lights the whole mountain as much as he can with the CIWS to counter a possible RPG.
I feel like the enemy tactics in these scenarios are to just keep up the thought of a constant presence. With that being a FOB they are the front line of possible expansion further into enemy territory. The enemy expends a handful of guys just to stop the progress of 100s if not thousands of soldiers even if for a brief period. They're idiots and it's suicidal but it's an interesting war game.
From what’s been observed, very rarely do insurgents attack coalition FOBs/COPs with intent to over run them. Majority of large scale assaults are done against ANA and Iraqi military outposts because insurgents know that they actually have a chance at success. Some COPs in isolated regions have been attacked on a full scale with advantage towards the insurgents because American forces take a heavy hit and decide to decommission the COP whether or not the insurgents were successful at first.

*perry didn't like that*
Perry will remember that
Been watching you for a while now!! Love what you do from tulsa Oklahoma
I'm so glad you speak English as well as you do and are reacting to meaningful footage. Getting such knowledge and insight by someone with experience and such a grasp of my language is indispensable, so seriously, thanks for these.
1:56 You see his helmet go back so you can tell something hit it
Love you’re vids keep up the good work!
you are vids
The round skimmed the top of his helmet
If you listen hee says it went through.
@@shoachiwarrior huh he does.
the second video you posted is of my former unit about 11 years ago in Sangin, Helmand Province. 3rd Bn 5th Marines, BBC was out there on our patrol with us, trying to get a story. Good times.
Coming from maryland USA just north of Washington DC love your videos brotha keep it up
You should watch the documentary “Restrepo”
That’s a good one for real life is military footage in the deadliest valley in Afghanistan.
Yes please
The Canadian Armed Forces now holds three of the top five positions for longest confirmed kill shots
“First thing we were thought, make sure you can retreat”
As a marine I was never thought how to retreat
Yes, we just fight in the other direction
Nor spell
@@gyeoglyeo7409 I like how when obviously a phone autocorrects a single word in someone's comment there are ten people to comment how they can't spell. Yes, congratulations, you noticed what everyone else did
Ya when I was active duty in the Marine Corps when we got to the lesson on retreat in Infantry school the Instructor said “ya fuck that you won’t be retreating” and skipped that lesson 😂
Hey man love your videos, much love from Nebraska
From Melbourne Australia here, keep it up Champ
They said the helmet shot went threw, so it was just above his head and only went threw the meat of the helmet.
I love how you make a clear and separate distinction between open terrain and urban combat. It's important people know there is a BIG difference in tactics.
Hey Artur, you should react to the M3 Bradley or the B-52 Stratofortress really interesting.
B-52s can be easily shot down by any nation whose air defense system doesn’t suck.
@@nole8923 Hanoi and the NVA would disagree
@@nole8923 That's why they carry lots of cruise missiles for stand-off attack of high threat areas.
Ahzi here from Louisiana checking in with you. AIRBORNE All The Way
To Estonia from Canada we support you brothers.
Army: Uncle Sam, why do the Marines get way cooler camo than us?
Uncle Sam: Shut up Army! It’s because they’re marines and you’re not!
Also Uncle Sam: The army gets 100 dollars and the marines can have my pocket change
My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment
The Marines spend between $300K-$400K to develop both their desserts and woodland camies while the Army spent millions of dollars to develop their ugly grey camies and they sucked.
Army: Uncle Sam we broke some more equipment.
Uncle Sam: Alright heres another million to get more and I will talk that and give it to the Marines.
Army: but it from the 1970's with nothing modern.
Uncle Sam: they'll enjoy it.
Marines: Hell ya some new equipment it so fancy and modern.
@@claymoreclearer this is me as a kid before i realized the thrift store sold used clothes.
Hey artur you should react to the video of marines taking fire and calling in air support.
"Texas is in the lead with 43 cups."
Yeah, that's how it should be, but Florida just above it says 45...
I have to say I hit this channel by mistake then I thought hey hi! and now I think how very interesting and i subscribed
Hey Arthur, Can you please react to -my War- it's soldier's from Denmark that is going to Afghanistan, to fight....
Love from Denmark
"Armadillo" 2010 documentary of the Danish in Afghanistan, very very good, worth a watch..
The Long Road Home--> US Rangers stuck on a rooftop after an ambush in Sadr.

Someone being “the fourth” doesn’t mean they’re royal :) it just means they’re the 4th generation of being named the same as their father and their father before them etc.
Also VI is the 6th not the 4th
May the 4th be with you 😂
I know this would be extremely different than any other content you've been posting recently, but do you think you could do a video like a day in the life of Artur
Sh!t H0wdy y'all. My dad's half of the family are from Odessa Texas, and of course Midland (next door to Odessa) and Pecos as well.
It's good to see the Country of Texas in such a great lead.
The Stars at night...
Are big and bright...

Deep in the ❤ of Texas!
Those Kevlar helmets CAN deflect even higher caliber rounds. If you observe the video the angle was from the front on the side of the helmit so the bullet could be deflected.
17:28 ish hit hard. You never know when it could be someone’s last second
React to Omar “crispy” Avila.
Agreed
Yes please Arthur watch the three parter Black Rifle Coffee did on him!
100% Omar Avila is one true BADASS. Would be a amazing react video!!!!
Name: Joaquin Rueda VI
Him: JOAQUIN RUEDA THE FOURTH
Me: um no but ok
The last video is from 1st platoon in 1/6 at Patrol Base Georgetown. I was in 2nd platoon at PB Manassas. We've got a documentary called Combat Obscura. It shows the true side of war. It's shitty. At the end my squad is ambushed. You'll see me a few times in the doc. After the ambush you'll see 2 Marines shellshocked. I'm the one with the back to the camera who turns hitting the smoke. Appreciate what you do. Stay safe. EDIT: You nailed it when it comes to desert warfare in the mountains. At most you'll see muzzle flashes and the dusk kick up from their position. So you'll suppress and call in CAS or drop mortars.
Hey man love your videos, was just wondering about all the music in this video and wondered if it is usable. loved the vibes from them. Keep up the great work man!
2:52 if the round hit the helmet at the right angle it would've essentially bounced off
Well I was a Paratrooper. When we jump in there is literally no where to retreat to.
A friend of mine (who I've completely lost touch with over the years,) was a PathFinder in Special Forces. He was a little guy, who jumped out of the airplane with nearly twice his body weight of gear. I remember seeing him demonstrate his job at an air show. The announcer said that he and another man were responsible for securing the LZ, and if they didn't, they had to find their own way back, without the rest of the team. My friend confirmed this.
"We're paratroopers, we're suppose to be surrounded"
As a American can I just enlist into the Estonian military or is there a ton of paperwork?
Ayyyyye I’m from Tennessee. Loves this beautiful state. I’m about three hours from chattahoochie!
Jersey is in the channel isles, British mate.starting to watch more of your vids, I'll spread the word kidda,ex L.I. (Light Infantry).best regards from County Durham England.
Can you do a reacting to MARSOC marine raiders please
YES, definitely
Machine Guns - First 3 bullets to kill the enemy, the other 97 to scare them.
I want him to react to military humor even though it's NSFW
The enemy sniper in the first clip was using an svd chambered in 7x62 but the marine corps helmets are made out of Kevlar and metal and other things. Basically you have to be be using high penetrater rounds to penetrate it.
Great camerawork on the last video
As a Kentuckian, we need to get y’all a KFC ASAP
