Shit, dude. Respect. 
You seem very casual about that. :hmph:
If it’s something that you’re likely to experience every day, I think the best idea is to get used to it.
Or if you’re the one responsible for the fine pink mist 
I was a gunner/genadier, basically while we were in Hummvees I was the gunner, usually used a 7.62x51mm M240b machingun but sometimes use the browning M2 50 cal machinegun. Otherwise my primary weapon was an M4 with an M203 grenade launcher attached. I’ve seem bodies get fucked up. However the instance of pink mist was a guy from an EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) unit who got destroyed by and IED he was trying to defuse. He was wearing his bomb disposal suit and everything, and all of a sudden I saw a flash of light and then nothing but a pink mist where he was standing…about a second later the boom! sound followed by a slight temor in the ground. It’s not something that you get over right away. It’s something you get used to, although you usually aren’t the same afterwards.
I remember when I was in a firing range in town and and one of the people who worked there was unjamming a AA-12 he had got for safekeeping after a criminal shot a cop with it, and he couldn’t get the thing to unjam. He looked down the barrel and just shook it when the barrel blew up. The Dude’s face was F***ked up. Now i feel lucky to have been firing the AK because if I fired it a second sooner I would have heard a very unpleasant scream.
Those are the kinds of things that would make me want to never play shooter games or watch war movie ever again. :fffuuu:
I saw a really gory car accident once, but that’s about it.
You probably could’ve just left out everything but this:
Most of us can’t tell a pistol from a revolver
The Javid I would give you the biggest bear hug if you were here. Thank you for serving and thank you for putting yourself out there and representing our country. I cannot imagine the things you have to endure and deal with, but I at least feel honored just having you and other service men here.
I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
It’s pretty suprising that you would share that kind of thing with us.
One of my friend have a similiar video of these in his phone, and it is from real combat and unedited, a few soldier stand beside tank and the tank get destroy by some kind of Heavy anti tank missile, then that few dude, also blow into red/pink mist like you talking about and some shattered body part.
If That AA-12 was using frag 12 grenade shell, that dude’s head would have gone lose, but accident happen every day.
Really, seeing all of these disgusting shit gonna have nightmare every day until you get used to it. salute
Wait, topic?
To “The Javid”:
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service. Thank you so much.

Reminds me of someone my mom knew. He was a Soldier who was sent to the Middle East sometime soon after 9/11. While he was traveling in the back of a troop truck with a few other soldiers, their truck exploded. I think they hit a landmine or an IED. Anyway, after the incident, he picked up a helmet he saw on the ground, turned it around, and saw his friend’s decapitated head in it. He wasn’t really the same for awhile, he became very quite and shut-in, and avoided talking about the war.

p.s. Thanks Javid.<3

Bloody mini-mods.
Oh wait…

A bit late. The modes turned it into a brown ooze long ago.
Assuming the turrets are tracking you based on movement, maybe they should fire at other objects (such as boxes) that you move. You could distract one by tossing a can or something across the room.
Would be cool but probably hard to do and not worth the effort.
I’m pretty sure they operate on a bit more than movement. don’t they have more advanced imagin software or something that has to identify a potential target visually?
Well the HECU Turrets can identify HECU Marines and thus will not fire at them.
The Cold War Era Ceiling Sentry Guns seen around Black Mesa, however, appear to be unable to determine friend from foe, and will simply cut down anything in it’s line of site.
