just need direction in finding a short, funny clip...

some time ago, I saw a video that had a caption of something to the effect of "why the americans will win the war" (a play on the displayed lack of shooting prowess of the videos subject) or something to that effect and it showed what appeared to be a gentleman in middle eastern garb shooting a rifle in what appeared to be a rifle range...politics and talk of war and such aside, the video was funny because it shows the guy getting knocked all over the place from the recoil of this rifle he's shooting (it would have been funny no matter who was shooting it)...anyhow, anyone know where I can find this video? I could have sworn it used to be on Ebaumsworld, but I went through their archives and couldnt find it...if anyone knows where it is, I'd love to see it again...thanks...

Are you thinking of these videos? .577 Tyrannosaur videos. Looks like they've taken them off-line for non-members.

I don't know that I'd laugh too hard, that rifle packs one hell of a punch. I think it was designed to drop a charging rhino.

whoops, it posted before I was done editing. What I meant to post was:

Are you thinking of videos like this one? .577 Tyrannosaur video. There's someone in the background in arab dress, and I've seen other videos set in the same location with persons in arab garb shooting the rifle.
