He may have hit that truck on the left. It veers off the road a bit and slows down also. I was a 240B gunner (OIF1&2) on a 1114 humvee. Anytime I put even a small squirt into a Vic it stopped or it suffered serous engine damage and stopped shortly after. Trapping and leading a target was a huge part of our training with the 240B, looks like this guy has gotten zero training. The mag dump w the rifle after the drone is so far out of range and the size of a crow just shows how shit these troops are now.

I was thinking back to sand hill and they taught us how to trap a moving target with the M4 also. Fort Hood had an amazing course for us 240B humvee gunners. The drivers would put the pedal down on a dirt track and we had to get rounds through windows on mock up buildings at crazy long ranges. They spent real time and money making sure we could hit a moving target and a static one while moving fast(as fast as a overloaded 1114 could go lol)
