Now that I've scared off 90% of my F-list, what we have hear is a video if some idiot firing a 60mm mortar (missing the baseplate and bipod) while being filmed.

I love the guys chanting Alluha Akbar.

Despite the title, this isn't a case of counterfire. Instead, the round the soon-to-be-squeegeed guy drops is already armed, and the shock of launch is enough to set it off.

*Way* too fucking close, that's where.

Mortars fired at a low angle are *not* good.
