[Shotimes] OT : Apache hit

[Donald Mallinson]

James,

Just a thought, wouldn't the peope anywhere in the vicinity, 
even with truck engines running hear the 30MM rounds hit the 
pavement, or even dirt road?  Those 30's go right through 
something as soft as a man, and they also hit the truck a 
lot.  I am sure 30mm rounds hitting metal make enough noise 
to alert anyone in the area that something nasty is going on.

The guy on the left, immediately after the first guy 
disappears, seems to be removing a jacket.  Wonder if he 
thought he was wearing too bright of clothing, or maybe he 
was hit with a hot piece of shrapnel?  Anyway, it is clear 
he knows something is going on.
