Epic,but what did he fire??

Was that an MG42 at 2:19?

Will be...interesting to see US equipment against US equipment when you invade them. Sure most of it will be smashed in the opening minutes, but they'll put up more of a fight than what was left of Iraq's.

They like to fire RPG's from the backseat of moving dirtbikes.
Go figure.

So? It's a good LMG
Modern Firearms - MG 42 and MG 3 machine gun

How the hell are you going to hit anything with an rpg from the back of a moving motorbike?

When Allah is leading it, you do (so they think).

I ain't arguing with a weapon with the ROF that the '42 can pump out. Nothin' wrong with old weapons, especially if they work. 'Tis why the M2 HMG is still in use; it's such barn door engineering that nobody can seem to beat it

Not that unlikely since most of the footage is from the 80's Iran-Iraq war.

It proved to be a cheap, highly mobile, and effective anti-tank platfrom during the Iran-Iraq war. In a real combat situation he would obviously slow down to give the gunner a chance to aim.

Eh, probably an MG3, And so what? The U.S M2 Browning is from 1920's, but still widely used today.

I just love it when these teen armchair warriors pass judgement on other countries militaries. Don't fool yourselves, most of you have never even held a rifle, let alone fired it. Go back to playing computer games, or watch another episode of Future Weapons/Weaponology on the Discovery channel...

Okaaay... someone had a bad day??

But lol nice vid, and when will the West learn to stop supplying weapons to other countries...

People are going to buy weapons anyways, so might aswell make some money yourself.
I don't think however they are still selling spare parts to them, and those desert sands look very punishing on moving parts. I wonder how they keep those choppers and planes going.

they make their own, arms embargoes have forced the iranians to look inwards for developing, improving or even improvising with their equipment.

Looks like a nice mix of nam-era US gear and Current and imediate past russian gear.

It looks like an RPG off the back of that bike.
I remember seeing/hearing that the iranians have a platoon of anti-air motorcyclists, which are basically a couple of blokes on a bike, one with an SA-7.

I could see the RPG working in a tight-knit urban enviro. as you have the speed and manouverability to outflank armour quickly and get in some rear-damage.

...mongol...

I was asking if it was one; not bitching. Mentioning those programs is still heresy even in jest

And I love it when you military-jocks on steroids think you can kick everyone's butts from here all the way to Faghistan.
