Wow... the wonders of google image search for stumbling onto great sites like this.

It's too bad they don't fire RPG's this way too.

Hey
I have been doing it all wrong down the range - lets see how the Lee Metford works tonight once I have applied the Duct Tape and set up the sound box - Old Jim won't know what hit him when he turns on his hearing aid. YO Mutha!

Do you suppose these morons have ever had experience of an enemy who shot back. More than just the once I mean.

Twat.- Yo shizzle, I be cappin' yo ass

My 5-year-old son uses better tactics when playing “Army” with his friends. Since his father is still a soldier, he has probably already picked up the serious attitude western nations have towards weapons and war.

This really does look more like ritual combat than a modern infantry battle. I refuse to believe that they are really trying to kill each other this way.

I notice one gentleman in your ‘Soul Train’ formation has a G3. While the AK47's and Uzi in one picture, are bullet sprayers anyhow, the G3 can be quite accurate in the right hands.

This 'soldier' seems to have selected a folding stock model and has not bothered to unfold the stock. Spraying bullets with a .308 would be considerably louder - maybe that's the idea.

Actually, one shouldn't dismiss the horizontal weapon holding firing stance so readily - clearly as a bullet leaves the barrel it follows a parabolic trajectory. By holding the weapon sideways these knowledgeable and elite soldiers therefore can use the parabola to fire around corners - a huge advantage in urban operations, and far less costly than the complex mirror angle, digital imaging, refractive sight helmet attached technology western armies are attempting to develop. We have been warned.

Interestingly perhaps ballistic tests have shown a dinghy flotation aid provides more effective protection than the usual bullet deflecting mirror worn around the neck. One for Qinetiq perhaps

I'm particularly impressed by some of the anti-camouflage techniques that some of these guys are employing - note the wearing of ultra-bright colours in order to dazzle the enemy, especially by the pair in the sixth picture down. The guy on the left seems to be trying to duplicate one of Annie Oakley's old stunts - firing backwards over the shoulder, but he's not cheating by using a mirror the way she did.

That actually originated at AR15.com by contributor "_DR." It's spread all over the web.

Humor is universal!

Dear Sir, I was reading your article recently about the apparent unreliability of the SA80 family of weapons and noted that although a great deal of money has been spent with Heckler & Koch to update the weapon; it appears nobody has considered a kind of fusion between this weapon and the latest club culture. I can only guess at the improvement in accuracy and reliability that could be achieved by providing this weapon to the selfless youth of the UK, with the dance version of "boys of summer", "waiting for a star to fall" or anything by 50 Cent playing I am sure we can achieve Empire one again!

This is freaking great. Now, I know what battle drills my guys need to work on. Great intel, good job.

I was in tears for a little while.

"DEF JAM'S: GUIDE TO F&%$ A BROTHA UP"

Dem bruvers sho gots de rithm an de mooves! Is you sho dat deez pichers wun't taken in de projeks ? It sho don look like de enemy has annathin ta fear ! But I'z bettn de Marines be jelus a all de fine gear deez dudes be havin !

The pictures are great, very amusing especially for an old vet like me. The racist comments, however, are not amusing at all.

The man with the uzi and the feather duster...thats too funny, also, in the picture of the man with the bright orange tank top, is the man in the background preparing to open fire upon an ant?

hahahaha

thats brilliant!
I bet it would be just as easy for our western military to go in and clean up, as it was when those guys were wearing grass skirts and used sharp fruits and veg as weapons!

Really funny pics; especially liked the MG team and the guy in the lifejacket.

I'm glad you guys all find this so funny,
Remind me to laugh the next time US and British soldiers get blow up in Iraq

Hilarious! These guys are cavemen with guns.. UG!

This is great, i have been reduced to tears over this article. I would be more frightened to be on the same side as these guys!!!!!!!!!!

I just fell off my Chair Laughing. I bet a group of Airsofters could beat these guys.

this is some good stuff, i knew the bloke with feather duster his name is boris , I've been round his house for a voodoo crack party, just another day down town blackbird leys.

OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS!!! I posted it on the Forum of www.vivamalta.org .. it will appear in 2 days time as i"m under moderation. Lol that cracked me up!

"or adopting the effective “hangin’ wit mee homies” firing stance" -CLASSIC!!

These guys are pretty silly, but remember that the bullets they are fireing are the same ones used by professionals; people firing in the "yo yo fo shizzle" stance can still wreak havoc on a peaceful marketplace or airport lobby.

Typical finnish nerd is better trained in the
defence forces of the republic of Finland than those
guys... and would probably make a huge difference in
the battlefields of Africa :>

That's because we have become such a lean, mean, killing maschines capable of a near-guaranteed head-shot at any given visible range, while firing fully automatic, full rifle length cartridges. Sometimes, by most skilled ones of us, even by using two bolt action rifles at the same time, on the move, naturally.

Thank you, Counter Strike! America's Army. You name it, we play it. fo real! ;)

On the other hand, it's not very nice to smile like this while looking children trying to kill each other, is it?

WoW O.O/ i wonder if the human anti aircraft gun anaged to get anything besides sparrows out of the sky! And i think by thier stances these guys play a little to much Dance Dance revolution. but yeah dont be dissen batman i like his cool blue cape hat combo thing hes got goin... NANANANANANANANA! IRAQ MAN!!!!

The photos indicate the violent death of youth. Whether these young militia men are professionally trained to kill at all is irrelevant. Because none of the kids posting here can call any of these men their son's seems to be enough to make racist comments and make light of human suffering.

This is why America is so hated. Because of incredibly ignorant viewpoints like this. As if all of these pictures are screenshots from some playstation game.

What about those RICH (white) kids from middle America who went on a murder spree at their own high school for no apparent reason other than lack of popularity. Was that funny too? Or does the wearing of black trenchcoats while shooting and killing innocent kids make those images more fashionably acceptable and/or tragic? Maybe if the trenchcoat mafia members had as little as a fraction of rhythm and style as these guys from Liberia, they would have made a few more friends and wouldn't have considered themselves as such social outcasts... or do these Liberians need to cowardly commit suicide by shooting themselves in the head to gain some kind of empathy for the war they've been fighting? Or are people of poverty stricken nations in crisis not considered as part of the human family who don't deserve empathy from any of you or any of your counterparts?

Is it funny that I can predict that most of the people who posted previous comments here are most likely of Caucasian descent? Maybe all of you should contemplate on why a person could predict that based on your comments...

Maybe some of the pathetic attempts to inappropiately speak "black slang" on this blog is really driven by a deeper envious desire. I bet a lot of you just relish these opportunities to openly practice your slang among your peers and to see how "bitchin hot" you could be. You guys are cool.

Educate yourselves for the sake of your kids. Please.

This was hilarious.

I'll ignore the tiresome input from "human with brain", but I'd like to point out he doesn't know how to use an apostrophe and assumes you're American.

Hahaha!!!!!

I'm a Filipino living in the Philippines yet I still find this very funny!

Seriously "human with brain", loosen up......

It's funnier every time I see it.

And no, no sympathy. No one is forcing them to fight. They're just the scum of the Earth.

And you're correct, they're not really trying too hard to kill. It's more about posing and making a stand. Think of two dogs having a territorial dispute. Or better, two dung beetles...

human with brain is speaking the truth. i am american but i fell shamed to be because of the views of most other amerikkkans. i am black and seeing photos like these are like seeing my friends and family in situations like this. if all these people were white rich amerikkkans shooting at their own white rich amerikkkan people then im sure these photo's would be on cnn with all you people making very different comments. racist

Most of you people have less then half a brain, must make you fell manly inside macking humurous comments about children trying to kill themselves?? (at the same time showing off your knowledge of war tactics, combat weaponry etc.) some of you should pay less attention to what is being said, rather than how it's beeing said. I hope a great deal of you wake up one day and find yourselves on the receiving end of their bullets, maybe if these were pictures of your 5 year old son you would ask him to reevaluate his serious attitude western nations have towards weapons and war, soldier man!!

I wonder who they are imitating? The hip hop culture was born in the USA. Your greatest gift to thse people has been hollywood movies about life in South Central LA. Thats communicating with the world, America, well done.

It is very funny though. They wouldn't last two secs if a professional Western Army landed on their doorstep.

To all the critics and the haters... loosen up.

To all the spoiled western kids, go live abroad and get an education.

To all the gun and military lovers: the american army (best in the world ?) invaded somalia in 1994 and got their asses kicked by guys like these and their corpses dragged through the streets of mogadishu. That was pretty funny too. And I know you are all too lazy to pick up a book or even wikipedia the facts... just watch a movie then... Black Hawk Down is a good exemple.

Don't glorify yourself and don't diminish someboy else. You are not better than anybody. Humanity is judged by it's weakest link, so if these guys are the worse humans, we're no better than them, cause we make them so.

On the other hand, never loose your sense of humour. This article was funny just don't laught at it for the wrong reasons(eg racisme, feeling of superiority, ignorance).

And to all the americans here, elect a better president next time.

Love.

To everyone who is bitching on about the lack of sympathy in these comments: why the fuck does it matter? Your sympathy is not helping these people; they'll continue to kill each other (albeit ineffectively)whether or not you think it's horrible. And I'm sure most of them wouldn't think twice about putting a bullet in a white man who decided to chill in Liberia. In fact, I think he would be a prime target.

wow. hmmm. I dont know where to start.
Many of you dont know that this is actual war footage. secondly, why would anyone waste their
time saying stereotypical, and racial comments.
what does hip hop or rap have to do with Africa?
nothing. whoever contributes to this website has
to be ignorant idiots. I would expect more of an educated dialogue from the UK. Im disapointed, also I am African American.(even though i don't look like it.)

BAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUHHHM HOLLA ATCHA BWOY!

Hey CommonSense: It's pretty fucking obvious to tell these are actual combat photos, you prick.

However, and i'm serious here, people tend to add humor to identify with something they are unfamiliar with, which is the case here...stupid.

yo this is so crazy what the fuck happened here yo fuck this shit. it aint cool..................LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! that was awesome i loved it ppl killing each other is the best

i type gangsta in google image this is wut i get LOLS

yo i see my pepoles is some fotos! meny meny of my afrikan brozas was smokin on day ganja wen tha fotos was taken!

Wanipa RAHA!

Interesting photos! Yes, they are probably real. As sloppy and as unprofessional as they are, a gang of them could put the hurt on some folks. Especially unarmed masses of people which is their specialty.
For the commenter saying America got its ass whooped in Somolia.....how many Somolians do you think we greased in that episode? Probably talking odds of 100 KIA/MIA 'Skinny' to 1 American Grunt.
Where the Pro has the training, these 'gents' have no morale base...they'll kill you just to kill you without hesitation. Comedic uniforms, shitty stances, and unaimed fire...does not mean they are pushovers nor someone to take casually.
Rascist comments? No need. Most of Africa speaks for itself as does the violence of the inner Ghetto's and the primary coloration of the American prison population. It's their choices and actions, nothing to do with our great, great grandfather bring them here as slaves. Anything to skirt personal responsibility.
'Give 'em more ammo', the gene pool will benefit from their self-darwinization, liberals will have something to whine about and the 'news' agencies' will have something 'sensational' if some celebrity does not screw up on a slow news day.

Are these images public domain and or may I have your permission to use them on Liberian civil war. I am a prefessor at a college in Washingtn state. The Evergreen State College.

haha...u kno wat i find funny? how u stupid, arrogant, proud, patriotic americans can make funny comments about serious pictures lik dis wen u got ya own asses kicked in Somalia...by guys similar to the ones shown in these pictures. lol American amry MY ASS...u kno wat i shuld make a webpage lik dis showing pictures of the vietnam war and body counts..that u asses lied about in the war that u LOST. or maybe i shuld post sum pics of the that lil bitch ass move u made in somalia..which did no gud cause u STILL got ya ass kicked. u americans aint got no respect for nobody but yaselves and dats y nobody likes u. taking pictures of people suffering in anotha country and makin fun of it shows how inconsiderate u all r, not all of u...particular the White americans (racist bastards)..how would u lik if i posted sum pics of suffering in ur country...911? hurricane katrina?? fuck um got a whole list but u know wat i wont even think to do shit lik dat cause i have a heart...and by the way...fuck bush hahaaa, respond to dat BITCH

A British guy(?) posts about action in Africa that face it, the Brits didn't ask for but get to send troops in as peacekeepers anyway and ---

it gets turned into anti-US-white hysteria?

And in Somalia the odds were way more than 100:1. How loud would the protests have been if they'd treated the city as a true combat zone and cleared the streets with high burst arty, professional style? Oh yeah, US got it's hand slapped but call it an ass kicking -- real kiddie shit.

Hey, it's a shooting war and first thing EVERY army has done since before Egypt put up pyramids is to dehumanize the enemy.

Besides, those guys pictured are being fools with guns.

Note though that anyone firing a POS unmaintained weapon while keeping behind the action is only going to end up wounded when the bolt comes back in his face -- hence the need to never use the sights.

I guess it makes more sense than actually cleaning the thing once in a while.

Haha this site cracked me up, searching for the word "gangsta" on google images prooved hilarious as predicted

Very impressive, I'll bet mandatory Night Fighting
gear includes Headlamps?

Judging by the strange positions adopted in the photos, I think they've accidentally been shown a tape of Keith Richards at a Rolling Stones concert instead of a training film.

It would certainly explain the fashion choices.

Steve Dix for the comment win. True LOL moment. Thanks.

Who on earth said all men were born equal? Not this honky!
How did half of these poster overcome the "prove you are human" obstacle? After all it's FOUR WHOLE letters long.

And to all the americans here, elect a better president next time.

Second. Hopefully we'll get a real conservative this time.

People bitch about America being hated by most of the world, but that doesn’t change the fact the America is a more prosperous and stronger country then any other. Hate to break it to you but America is better, accept it. Our movies affect culture a world away, when war breaks out in some little country and civilians start getting killed we watch it on TV and debate what could be done because it doesn’t affect us. Some in the world want to topple America, they think that terrorist attacks and hostage taking are going to give them some sort of victory but that thinking just emphasizes how pathetically impossibly there goals are. If a group or individual was able to cause some kind of effect attack on American soil like the detonation of a dirty bomb or biological weapon where after the attack they still had the capability to carry out such strikes they would be found and any country that harbored them would be razed. Most of the rest of the world is just not important enough for the full strength, or attention of America to be focused on. Maybe the rumblings of china, or politics in India or Russia are worthy or our attention but anything else is just a distraction.

The powers in the world are what they are. Everyone else is just going to have to deal with being second class.

These are actually hilarious.

And just to point out, in Somalia the Americans arrested the two people they needed from the militia along with many other suspects and they survived against hundreds of armed Somalians.

The fact that some of them were killed and the Somalians dragged the body through the streets is a fact of war, you can't fight one without taking casualties and seeing as the Somalians don't respect the American dead that's what happened.

The Americans killed hundreds to their few casualties and deaths. So be quiet and be light hearted like this post is meant to be.

LIGHTEN UP!

fyi terrorist attacks are hurting america, not directly of course but the wars that ensued are causing a recesion (that's bad) which could cause sum seareeus problems in the near future. who cares aboot these kids they were dead men from the day they were born. the best country in the world would have to be norway and sweden, mostly sweden (i'm not sweedish). just remember that china and russia would pwn teh usa in a war. they pwn you with red guard, they will jump on ur back and hit ur weak spot for massive dammage plus they get +25% ATK/DEF if you research nationalism. RAMBLE RAMBLE RAMBLE. Oh yeah i forgot, they would pwn all teh airplaines with their faster MiGs and nukes, the american nukes would mostlee be shot down but who cares anyway because it's russiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh..... in conclusion, Canada FTW.
Thank you, i hope you enjoyed my presentation on the slowing american economy and the threat posed by china and russia.
Goodnight and god bless... me

I've looked at the article. I've read your comments...Yes the photos are funny...(I have a sense of humour) people killing each other isn't and they make me wonder...I don't have a clue why they are fighting? (probably race or religion) I assume there are people firing back at them? I wonder where all the "innocent" people who used to live there have gone? How many of them are dead? I am so glad I don't live in their world. Why are we so ineffective at promoting peace in the world yet are really good at promoting war? (gee could it be $$, oil, power?) Lots of you people have a "My dick is bigger than yours" mentality. Yes it is much easier to be okay about killing if they are just goons or niggas or reds. They are people! After millennia upon millennia of killing each other. I have had enough.

*example, please nigga.

And I'm pretty sure the kill ratio was 19 KIA/1 C (USA) to ~1000-1500 KIA and 3000-4000 WIA

I'd call that acceptable casualty ratios.

Of course, that's the beauty of the AK. You can give it to a bunch of total idiots and if there's enough of 'em and they're high they'll just keep rushing.

To those upset at racial comments, please remember that nobody could make them if these pictures didn't exist. If the blacks didn't do it then we couldn't laugh about it.

Ha Ha, this is hilarious! I especially loved the part where uneducated, impoverished teenagers are engaged in deadly urban warfare due to to the gross economic inequalities imposed on their continent by western imperialists for the last few centuries. Oh, and I was rolling on the floor with laughter at the poorly researched stereotypical American inner-city slang used to compare the fighters' appearances with that of rappers. It's funny cause they're both black! Ha Ha!

You know what this reminds me of? Gorillas beating their chests, but with guns. They can't be trying to kill each other. This has gotta be these semi-evolved simians' way of trying to scare the others away with loud noises.

Good God, they're all the same no matter where you put them. But remember, it's all Whitey's fault! Sub-Saharan Africa was coast-to-coast prosperity, culture, and architectural triumph before Europeans showed up!

I think one tribe may even have been halfway to inventing writing, tools made of something other than stone or bone, domesticating animals, farming, or any of the other precursors of civilization.

lol kinda funny, the pics and the comments from all the yeee haw american redneck types and then the pussyboy idealists moaning about everything, 4 words... live and let die

All the issues raised in the comments here aside, I'm just going to say...

That is the most ineffective looking way to fight a gun battle, I have ever seen.

I sadly can't say I understand who they are, or who they are fighting or why. But do they all have death wishes? Any one with a gun and the slightest lick of self preservation and ability to AIM, could drop them in an instant.

I couldn't help but laugh at this madness. It does look like some messed up hip hop war. But I just can't understand what they are doing in these pictures.

As far as the Battle Of Mogadishu goes, the Somalians won a political victory only, they did not kick the American's asses.

160 US soldiers went in, faced approximately 3,000 hostiles and killed 700-1,000 of them while only losing 19 of their own soldiers AND achieved the mission objective of capturing the Adid lieutenants that they set out to capture in the first place.

It was a battle, and in battle people die—including Americans. I'd hardly call the results, in the face of the odds, an "ass-kicking."

Eoj Sttaw - I agree completely 'LIVE AND LET DIE'

No use trying to risk our necks or our wealth/prosperity to save a the weakest / most stupid / useless portion of 'humanity'.
=========================
Richard Fitzwell...come off it mate, if I wanted to hear your opinion I could just listen to the talking heads @ the BBC or CNN or FOX/Skyy.

anyways dats what i fink

If these are Liberians, than most likely at some point their ancestors LEFT America to return to Africa.
Genius
