Could be because the MEC light attack helicopter is the SA 341h Gazelle? They also have the EC635 Eurocopterdeclan54321 wrote:Yeah, isn't it Doc.pock who calls the MEC light attack helicopter a Gazelle???

You talking about the BRDM. MTLB are quite resistant to small arms and explosions splash damage.Web_cole wrote:They are pretty terribad, no doubt. But at least they don't die to 5.56 like an MTLB will![]()

Nup, MTLBs do die to small arms. I've done it on a few occasions (most notably during a PRT battleTheComedian wrote:You talking about the BRDM. MTLB are quite resistant to small arms and explosions splash damage.

It was static and 15 people with 7.62 were shooting in its back. It will survive a hellfire splash damage from 5m onwards which is more than any other vehicle has.Web_cole wrote:MTLBs on the other hand![]()

Re: Malapropism
Who said anything about a hellfire, we're discussing shitcan APCs (BRDMS, M113s and MTLBs) relative resistance to small arms fire.TheComedian wrote:It will survive a hellfire splash damage from 5m onwards which is more than any other vehicle has.
My original point was in a comparable test to the one shown above (stationary, 20 shooters) an M113 will not take damage, or at the very least will take an extremely negligible amount of damage. Whereas an MTLB can be damaged and therefore destroyed with small arms fire, as the above video shows.TheComedian wrote:It was static and 15 people with 7.62 were shooting in its back.
(Obviously, this is completely different form a "live" situation, but this was not supposed to teach anyone how to kill an APC with small arms, it was a demonstration to show that it was possible.)
So what exactly was the dispute here?

i've heard people pronounce grenadier [Gren-A-Deer] as Grenade-er
People calling a ford and land bridge
Ford (f?rd, frd)
A shallow place in a body of water, such as a river, where one can cross by walking or riding on an animal or in a vehicle.
tr.v. ford?ed, ford?ing, fords
To cross (a body of water) at a ford.
Land bridge:
A neck of land that connects two landmasses; an isthmus.
A land bridge, in biogeography, is an isthmus or wider land connection between otherwise separate areas, which allows terrestrial animals and plants to cross over and colonise new lands. Land bridges can be created by marine regression, in which sea levels fall, exposing shallow, previously submerged sections of continental shelf; or when new land is created by plate tectonics; or occasionally when the sea floor rises due to post-glacial rebound after an ice age.
For all the Smart fuckers out there
Fjord:
Geologically, a fjord (Listeni /ˈfjɔrd/ or /ˈfiː.ɔrd/) is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created in a valley carved by glacial activity.

+1 for the M113 being called the POS APC, or the shitter, or anything close to that
