Everything I've seen with that M90.org thing has been fake so far.

This is pretty assanine though... 3 years of fighting terrorists and dodging bullets and having mortars fall around you... and what, your brain takes the day off and you decide to let someone aim and fire an ak47 at you?

As if that itself isn't stupid enough. They had to do it with an Ak-47, probably the most inaccurate rifle in mass production.

As much as the russian in me begs to differ, I'll agree that its effective range is only 150-250 meters, and certainly not in Afghani hands and not standing :bugeye:

Possibly why he was like 5 meters off his first round :P

What really confuses me is that his barrel doesn't even seem to go up very high (like it would if you were actually aiming)

The 47 has it's merits, but accuracy isn't one of them.

Which just makes it all the more ridiculous that they continued their stupidity.

but we're all forgetting that it might be fake

I'm dead set against it being real. Too much BS from that M90.org.

Well, assuming it is real...didn't you notice the people laughing in the background after they shot him? They may have done it on purpose.

But how did they not see where the first round hit? It kicked up a lot of dirt...
I don't think it's real either.
