[AAR] RPG vs LAV-25
Posted: 2010-02-21 08:57
Probably the most omgwtfjushapen moment I've ever had.
Me and a Squad/clanmate were sitting atop a building on Fallujah west, camping out, having a barbecue of sorts. I was atop the solar panel checking on the hot dogs and hamburgers while he was keeping an eye out for any Infidels that tried to ruin the party. Suddenly, out of nowhere, we hear an LAV coming. In my attempt to ready my RPG for big boom making I spilled the hotdogs onto the ground (hamburgers lived though! =D). LAV Comes flying down towards us off-road, we don't really care whether or not it sees us, we just wanna kill it and get back to eating.
The LAV begins to cross the concrete/asphalt road leading up towards the hospital (except it's driving towards the main road/towards us). I tell my squad mate to stand down, there is no way we would actually hit it moving that fast, that far away, when BAM. The LAV smacks straight into a light pole. Allah was watching over us that day, for the light pole stopped the LAV dead in it's tracks. My squadmate and I took aim. His RPG exploded out of the tube like an Eagle dive bombing it's dinner, I took aim and fired my RPG as his was making contact with the USMC LAV-25. My RPG arched just above the LAV's turret, we were dead, I knew it. But then I looked again. The LAV was a black, hulking ruin.
One RPG, one LAV down. I could hardly believe my eyes. TeamSpeak and squad VOIP was silent, for what seemed like an eternity, as the shock of what just happened rippled through us.
All I know was, at the end of the day I was pissed 'cause I wanted the kill.
I have screenshots of the encounter, and I'm thinking of making a video. They are on my desktop, and I can't RDP/VNC/SMB into it to getthem right now since I'm on linux, and my linux doesn't like my network. Will post screens later today/tomorrow.
