If it was on /r/funny, it should never be on /r/WTF.

I thought this was some kind of unspoken universal truth?

[–]FicoXL 8 points9 points ago

I forgot that americans think that mexico is everything outside united states...

[–]greensy 3 points4 points ago

Well it's all either Mexico or giant oceans filled with dragons, but yeah basically.

[–]FicoXL 0 points1 point ago

LOL

[–]MeHateEverything -2 points-1 points ago

Mexico is also known as America's back yard.

[–]ligamx 9 points10 points ago

  • Colombian..........Mexican Army buys their equipment from the Russians.

[–]CrouchPotato 2 points3 points ago

That looks like Prabhakaran of the terrorist group LTTE in Sri Lanka, the same group who killed Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

[–]chichenponf 3 points4 points ago

That is not the mexican army -.-

[–]IamtheBiscuit 1 point2 points ago

When you buy munitions from drug cartels, you're gonna have a bad time

[–]OldCrankyBastard 0 points1 point ago

That was a premature evacuation.

[–]jefuchs 1 point2 points ago

How to tell it's fake: Everybody runs except the guy with the camera.

[–]xLowDown 0 points1 point ago

It's obviously on a tripod.

[–]jefuchs 0 points1 point ago

Not a very stable one. Looks handheld to me.

[–]ChickenMcSandwich 0 points1 point ago

Well Thats Funny.

[–]DragonTycoon 1 point2 points ago

Didn't FPSRussia do that same thing?

[–]Baseplate 0 points1 point ago

Former mortarman in the US Army. Shit happens every day in every military in the world that can get you killed. I don't know why thay ran, mortar rounds have an impact fuse on the nose that has to be hit for it to explode. So by the time they ran it would have already exploded.

[–]exomeme -1 points0 points ago

impact fuse on the nose

OTOH -- if the propellant malfunctioned, who's to say the fuse won't?

[–]Baseplate -1 points0 points ago

That is like saying if your tire goes flat what is to say your engine won't seize up.

[–]Fyzzle -1 points0 points ago

My keyboard doesn't work... monitor must be bad.

[–]exomeme 0 points1 point ago

It also might have a proximity fuse.

[–]Baseplate 0 points1 point ago

It does not. Worst case would be an old timed fuse but I doubt any hand held mortar would have anything other than impact. But if it did it Prox fuses explode based on the changes in barometric pressure as the round falls not how close a person gets.

[–]exomeme 0 points1 point ago

barometric pressure

what? more like simple radio/microwave electronics, in order to get an air-burst of shrapnel over enemy infantry's heads. (I doubt barometric sensors would be accurate enough.)

[–]Baseplate 0 points1 point ago

you are correct my wires got crossed for a minute. Regardless the prox fuse wouldn't go off.

[–]derpinghornet -2 points-1 points ago

That also happened in one of fps russia's videos, he didn't run, he just laughed.

[–]oliveolive 6 points7 points ago

That's because the mortars he was using weren't live rounds.....

If that mortar had exploded they would have certainly been killed or seriously injured.

[–]derpinghornet -1 points0 points ago

Russian don't care

[–]matthewtheninja 0 points1 point ago

"don't be beech!"

[–]yarrharrcapt -5 points-4 points ago

Did the cameraman die?

[–]Graphic-J 1 point2 points ago

These guys are as much Mexicans as my left testicle.

Fixed. Camera.

[–]Lycanthropos -3 points-2 points ago

I find this quite erotic.

[–]Bee_Kamiya -5 points-4 points ago

The first few times I watched this I giggled, but was very confused. I thought they were launching a fish.
