The first article on this subject, from a source I’d consider less likely to botch technical details, was in the Army Times. They also go into pretty good detail about what they think the round was. The party line is that they got hit by a “golden” RPG. I mean, a modern death ray might be able to do that, but since the air campaigns of Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, the Iraqi guerillas are stuck using those 1920s-style death rays.
Right. We believe you, honest.
Oh man, this guy is in Knoxville, too. You should come over and see my Phase-Incoherent Distributed Laser Projection Assembly.
This is just another peice of bad reporting, all it was, was a “Golden RPG” shot. Only thing unusual was it may be one of the more modern anti-tank weapons, but certainly not some sort of railgun or other exotic weapon…
Damn…sounds a lot like a .22 cal sabot.
Bad news if they can get delivered by a machine gun.
