Rebel Stands Up In Gunfight, Gets Zapped By Bullet
Published 2 years ago
There is often a very thin line between bravery and stupidity. The subjects of this video not only crossed that line, but decided to stand up without cover during an active gun battle after doing so.
From the footage we can see a possible Syrian militant high crawling out into a street as gunfire can be heard all around. He knows he is playing a dangerous game, but is cautious enough to crawl. For whatever reason, he decides to throw caution to the wind and stand up, along with a comrade, fully exposing theirselves to hostile fire. It only takes a few seconds before their enemy jumps at the opportunity and fires an accurate round right into one of the men. They hit the ground and crawl for cover. The extent of the man's injuries are not apparent from the footage. They are wearing body armor, however, it appears to be soft pistol-shrapnel rated soft armor, and very unlikely to stop a rifle round.
