Man I gotta be quicker. I was about to comment about that round. It appears to be red tipped making it a tracer. Also, there doesn’t seem to be any pattern, just cases and links all up in the air. And, since we are playing detective, what kind of full-auto weapon ejects to the left? Could this be a set up shot? Me thinks so.
It’s gotta be a minigun firing above him. A misfired round would just be extracted/ejected during the firing sequence, and of course the volume of cases/links raining down sure looks like a minigun’s rate of fire.

Nope. I’ve seen this picture somewhere before. It’s the backblast from the launcher kicking up all the old brass on the ground.
You really don’t want to be standing behind that thing when it’s fired.

Wow, that’s a mean rate of fire on the AT-4!

There is a liberal gun logic joke in there somewhere, but I just cant find it…… Something about “clips” maybe?

Is anyone else confused by the un-discharged round flying directly ahead of the launcher’s barrell?

I thought it was the new modified AT-4 Empty Brass Vacuum Cleaner, Mk.1 being field tested.

Good example of why eye protection should be worn around weapons.
