Why were they allowed to land on the ground why didn't they just shoot them in the sky?

Kek. If you fuckin shoot bullets up they won't reach anything.
>what is gravity
>>
Turks usually wait until people land.
>>
>>56077217
You're not allowed to shoot guys that are parachuting by international war law or whatever it's called.

What's that movie where the soviets Cuba and Nicaragua invaded the us

Red Dawn?

>>56077471
Yeah
Thanks

>>56077217
It was generally considered a dishonorable thing to do by pretty much every armed force during WW2 except for Partisans and the Japanese.

Unspoken "rule of war," later part of the Geneva conventions

>>56077217
Typically because they're too far away to shoot. They don't drop them directly above enemy troops.
Also you have something like 10 seconds. Not too much time.

All we need is an excuse to toss the rules of engagement out and take the gloves off.

>>56081078
that webm is really making me wonder if there's ever been aerial footage of an earthquake as it's happening
>>
>>56077285
so if you aim straight up, the bullets will literally backfire on you because of gravity?

Don't judge me - i'm no expert in firearms

>that visual shockwave
shit, that vid looks sexy

>proving once again, that none of the made-up bullshit, like in movies, will ever beat the real thing
>>
>>56081250
yes, there is a liveleak video where some arabs fire off celebratory gunshots at a wedding and the bullets come back down into the venue.
>>
>>56081322
I always wondered what happens after Muslims shoot off their celebratory gunshots. I guess they are smart enough not to shoot straight up in the air, but it's definitely raining bullets somewhere.
>>
>>56081376
Bullets are small
>>
>>56081392
but I imagine there is a lot of them coming down at once
>>
>>56077392
Nah you're not allowed to shoot pilots when theyre on their parachute.
Its different with para troopers, you are allowed and they were shot out of the sky, see D-Day or Crete
>>
>>56081322
If there's no horizontal component to velocity, then a bullet's speed on its downward trajectory will only be as great as the terminal velocity determined by air resistance. It probably wouldn't be enough to kill anyone.
>>
>>56081322
They couldn't be traveling that fast on the return to kill somebody could they?
>>
>>56081420
they bleed kinetic energy
>>
>>56081322
>having literal access to guns any day
>having access to internet
>still somehow are retards
christ, you people never fail to disappoint, are you.
If the arabs would shoot straight up, the terminal velocity of an AK or any service rifle bullet in free fall will never be lethal (i mean it can smash you like a rock at +60km/h speeds and, well, maybe crush your skull)

If they shoot diagonally, then it will be someone else who gets shot, not the wedding guests
>>
>>56081392
which gives them a great opportunity to penetrate softer objects at certain speeds and with proper impact angles
>>
>>56081420
no he JUST said they're small

they don't come down because not enough weight. why do you think satellites need rockets to get up there? it's because they're so heavy...
>>
>>56081392
You're a big bogan.

Ok, I understand now

I'm just making conversation russia. Socializing.
