Your other un-replicable video of the day comes to us from Afghanistan where an unnamed soldier's helmet cam caught this heart-stopping footage of machine gun fire from Taliban footage. That said, we'll let the cameraman explain the situation:
I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face ... I was point heading down the face of the hill with the LT. when we got hit. the rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire. I didn't start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety.
