The alternate title to this blog is “Muzzle Awareness is for the Weak.” Somewhere in Nigeria, where these individuals are repelling a bandit attack. Or shooting in the general direction of people who might be bandits. The machine gunner shoots and twirls and nearly caps his assistant gunner, who follows him with a ridiculously long belt of ammo. I thumbed through my copy of Machine Guns and Machine Gunnery, but found no reference to this method of employment.
