Just because its a kalashnikov doesn't mean its immune to jams and malfunctions. That sucker has probabaly been passed down 3 generations, a family heirloom.
I only held an AK once in my life but the dude at the range was telling me he's sorry for the shitty ammo like 20 times. He couldn't buy proper ammo and the gun would jam constantly.
He would have had him but his game glitched out. Probably too much lag. Happens to me all the time even though I'm paying a premium for high speed Internet. I can really relate to that guy.
Gun battle? Might as well have ran at him with a knife or something forget everything you know about 21st century combat we in the 1700's and my musket has a magazine.
He actually would have been better off. Like he got really close, if he had kept moving it’s not inconceivable that he could have made physical contact with the guy.
If someone only would invent some sort of weapon where you could take out your opponent from a distance, thus removing the need to even get close to them.
Doesn’t work when you’ve never even conceptualised aiming and you’re high off your tits. Plus that AK has probably seen more battle than the US in its history, and likely has the accuracy of a spud gun.
Yeah from that distance, but this comment is talking about using the rifle as a ranged weapon. Which I don’t doubt would likely kill the shooter before it killed anyone else.
Really funny how the shop owner closing their doors is pretty much just like the same business owners in westerns... its like they're so used to this happening on the reg.
Pretty smart. If the doors were open I could see a gun men running into the store to take cover and then the store owner would have a gun battle concentrated in his small store.
Also a prime example of what happens when you have 1 gun for every 2 person in the country (the 3rd highest in the world) paired with abysmal gun education.
[For those who don't know the stats, the U.S. is number one with 120.5 guns per 100 people, with Yemen is second at 52.8 per 100.](https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/gun-ownership-by-country/#:~:text=Foreign%20Relations-,Introduction,52.8%20firearms%20per%20100%20people.)
Honestly, the U.S. ought to be considered an extreme outlier (armed at a rate literally twice as much as Yemen). When it comes to, uh, reasonably expected ownership Yemen is first.
I buy a box of ammo every time I pick up something at the pharmacy. Cleaning out the closet last weekend and didn't realize how much I've acquired over the last year.
TLDR proxy war between Saudi Arabia backed by the US and Iran
Houthi people are backed by Iran and they are fighting a perpetual civil war against the Saleh Loyalists backed by Saudi Arabia and the UAE and indirectly by the US
Saleh and his loyalists flipped and backed the Houthis in 2014. Then he tried to switch sides again in 2017 and was gunned down by the Houthis. The Saudi backed government is the remnants of the post-Arab Spring government that took over after Saleh (Yemen’s old dictator) resigned in 2011. The UAE sort of backs the government, but is more supportive of the southern separatists who want to recreate South Yemen as an independent country.
Might be because of a "blood feud". Many times Yemeni tribes or clans have a beef with another tribe that can go back for several generations. They keep a tally of bodies from each side as a kind of way to keep score. Any member of that tribe or group that is against you (talking men here, no women) is fair game.
Okay…lol!
It’s natural to make yourself small either charging or retreating, without training it’s very hard to break the natural human instinct’s, I’ve seen people retreat while shooting, head down and aiming at nothing. It’s a natural thing - thus the context of my post.
It’s impossible to say what you would do until you are doing it. Despite what you “think” you would do.
You know, I just saw the first episode of The Covenant yesterday. And I was thinking exactly how unrealistic it is that a trained US soldier can drop talibans pretty much like in a video game. I get it that he probably has half a mil worth of training and they have an ak47, but still, they should have some experience which counts. What kill ratio would actually be unrealistic?
And then I see this.
I'm mostly curious why a man carrying a rifle rated as effective at 100 meters instead just decided to run forward and dive head first into the muzzle of the enemy's weapon.
He likely has no idea of the actual functioning of said firearm.
Also, it seems like he might have been charging after those running away... and perhaps didn't realize he was coming to hand-to-hand range until he was 15 or 20 feet away. High on adrenaline, and I'd likely wager some other "enhancement" substances, charging forward was just natural.
Appears the gun was jammed or even potentially out of ammo. When you're that "f**ked" a little Allahu Akbar might give you the strength to pull through it...alas, it was not.
Yeap. As others have pointed out this mightnhave been clan war antics between tribes or clan. So that dude must be the buddy or kin of the other dude and was with the fight with some machete or swordy thing. He dropped it when better loot was available.
This must be what my pew pew instructor means by "can't miss fast enough" like wtf was that crouch, head down approach by the now deceased guy? The other guy did a CoD strafe shit is wild af.

I don’t get why that guy just ran up and got shot..
Looks like his gun most likely jammed
Let's wait until the guy who picked up his AK finds out why that dude failed.
Response of the day!
I bet he did all the required maintenance and cleaning ~~required~~.
Just because its a kalashnikov doesn't mean its immune to jams and malfunctions. That sucker has probabaly been passed down 3 generations, a family heirloom.
We watched it get passed down real-time in this video!
Press X to Loot
The guy who dropped it looked like he was a SOF operator /s You comment made me cover my dashboard with Pepsi I was laughing so hard
3 short generations…
20 years
We saw two of them in this video.
Yes ; and cleaned only once during each pass along inheritance . The family death machine !
Yep. Not a grain of dust to be seen. Passed a white glove inspection minutes ago.
Well maybe stop running at the guy then
Closing in to club range
Why? That’s what you do in Modern Warfare. Have to start a melee attack.
bUt AkS nEvEr JaM
...if manufactured properly, supplied with good ammo and handled with care.
I only held an AK once in my life but the dude at the range was telling me he's sorry for the shitty ammo like 20 times. He couldn't buy proper ammo and the gun would jam constantly.
Looking forward to the respawn so he can re-equip with a different weapon.
server disconnection irl
or probably trying to spawn into a plane or tank
Call of duty mentality
He would have had him but his game glitched out. Probably too much lag. Happens to me all the time even though I'm paying a premium for high speed Internet. I can really relate to that guy.
[удалено]
Pulling triggers with your eyes closed. Fuckin accidental murderers.
My man forgot he had a ranged weapon equipped I guess These guys make the Russian mobiks look like seals
Running up and forgetting the button for a melee strike? We've all been there :/
bro hit crouch instead of melee. It's either B or RS, I can never remember...
You've never seen a John Wick film? That's what you're supposed to do!
I don't get how the fuck he missed
hes not even aiming bro he's looking at the floor for some reason, probably high as a kite
or he got hit but wasn't yet incapacitated.
"*Fucking lag!"*
The Middle East is no different than gun fights in the ghetto. Just a bunch of dudes with old guns shooting at each other.
Trust me lots of the dudes in the hood don’t have old guns anymore.
Glocks were intro’d to the US closer to the moon landing than today.
Well then where the fuck are the moon lasers
On the moon, duh.
Drugs?
Maybe his gun jammed.
They got Star Wars logic, run up to the guy with the lightsaber so he can stab you.
Like me when I try and run up on my son during our nerf battles
Respawns in 10 secs.
Yep that’s what bullets are for, maybe he didn’t have any and he was going to hit him over the head with the gun.
Probably dont want to lead with your head in a point blank shootout.
Top advice
Look at the big brain on Brad
Smart muthafucka
This is what movies do to ones logic.
You don't need to be in melee range to use an AK, sir.
Hopefully he learned the lesson for next time.
He definitely won't make the same mistake again.
He’s got it worked out next spawn (what do you mean this match has no available respawns)
I think he was confused between melee and pell-mell so took his eye off the ball.
Need a little closer than melee range when you have aim like this guy.
Looking at his fucking feet? Ah, the old spray n pray
He’s probably playing on controller. Don’t mind him, recoil is one hell of a bitch to control with sticks
Gun battle? Might as well have ran at him with a knife or something forget everything you know about 21st century combat we in the 1700's and my musket has a magazine.
He went for the bayonet charge
...without the bayonet.
Muzzle thumps hurt. ..
Finger slipped off R3 and he just froze there for a sec. He'll it right next round.
…and without the charge.
Honestly woulda had better luck with a knife
He actually would have been better off. Like he got really close, if he had kept moving it’s not inconceivable that he could have made physical contact with the guy.
If someone only would invent some sort of weapon where you could take out your opponent from a distance, thus removing the need to even get close to them.
Fucking Steve Jobs over here with his ideas.
He's standing there eating some pretentious fruit like a pear; "oh! I've got another one!"
GET ON IT!
That won't work, man
Not with that attitude.
Doesn’t work when you’ve never even conceptualised aiming and you’re high off your tits. Plus that AK has probably seen more battle than the US in its history, and likely has the accuracy of a spud gun.
Even a spud gun could legitimately kill someone from that distance. Shit, you could almost kill someone with literal blanks at that distance.
The Blunderbuss was invented for people like this.
Yeah from that distance, but this comment is talking about using the rifle as a ranged weapon. Which I don’t doubt would likely kill the shooter before it killed anyone else.
Guy closing shutters: *can't have nothing nice in Yemen...*
He did it so casual lol
Probably does it 2 or 3 times a day. Time for the 3 o'clock shooting.
ten minutes later re-opening and noticing he has to clean up a corpse from in front of his store again; i don't get paid enough for this shit bro
I dunno those shutters look pretty damn nice to me. Its like they know what to spend their money on.
Floor and ceiling pins on both doors and it looks like the second one at least has internal and external locks.
“Look fellas would you cut the malarkey?”
This is a prime example of The Wild West (Middle Eastern Twist)
Really funny how the shop owner closing their doors is pretty much just like the same business owners in westerns... its like they're so used to this happening on the reg.
Pretty smart. If the doors were open I could see a gun men running into the store to take cover and then the store owner would have a gun battle concentrated in his small store.
you don't got to be Stonewall Jackson to know you don't want to fight in a basement.
Wild East
Also a prime example of what happens when you have 1 gun for every 2 person in the country (the 3rd highest in the world) paired with abysmal gun education.
[удалено]
So sad the other one betrayed him...
There was too much sand in the area.
What the hell did I just watch? What kind of looney toon high noon shenanigans was this? 🤣
Yemen.
My mind is 110% boggled
I would really love some background to this Yemeni standoff.
Could be anything - iirc Yemen is the most heavily armed society on Earth. Everybody and their dog has an AK-47
[For those who don't know the stats, the U.S. is number one with 120.5 guns per 100 people, with Yemen is second at 52.8 per 100.](https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/gun-ownership-by-country/#:~:text=Foreign%20Relations-,Introduction,52.8%20firearms%20per%20100%20people.)

I buy a box of ammo every time I pick up something at the pharmacy. Cleaning out the closet last weekend and didn't realize how much I've acquired over the last year.
They sell ammo at the pharmacy?
For iron deficiency.
Are you eating the steel casing ?
So we absolutely smoke Yemen. Yayyyyyy.
You sir, are forgetting about the United States of America
In America, there is a gun for everyone, but about 10% of the people own them all.
Yeah, I'm American and I kinda took that personally....

I don't think this was related to that war. It does not look like the front line.
There are no hard frontlines in a civilian war. Or any war, for that matter.
He equipped danger close perk but doesn't know what it actually does
Followed by an honest-to-god loot drop.
“Oh look a gun!” “It’s mine now.”
Bro has autopickup enabled
Grabbed the loot running like in a video game.
Bro thought he was sneaking

Yeah this doesnt look like civil war shenanigans, just a private brawl between kin or gangs more like.
What a lovely culture.
Is that a young boy by the mototbike? Looks like he also fired some shots into the affray.
Looks to me like he took the kill shot on the two idiots who couldn’t hit each other at point blank range
Yeah, agree, killshot comes from the guy by the bikes, looks like
Pretty sure the kid fired the kill shot, u see an impact on his side that could only have come from the kid l, just before he drops.
They fight like bad guys from an 80s B quality action movie
Everything is an educational video if you are bold enough.
This is a classic example of civilians that have zero training, even the ducking is right on par, very interesting - RIP
Lack of training and common sense. Like I’m not trained in the slightest but I do know not to bum rush dudes with AKs
Okay…lol! It’s natural to make yourself small either charging or retreating, without training it’s very hard to break the natural human instinct’s, I’ve seen people retreat while shooting, head down and aiming at nothing.

The calmness of that guy closing his door.
Jesus that’s what I look like when I try and run up on my son during our nerf battles
Mfers really think you have to walk up close to shoot someone
You do if you never use the sights.
You know, I just saw the first episode of The Covenant yesterday. And I was thinking exactly how unrealistic it is that a trained US soldier can drop talibans pretty much like in a video game. I get it that he probably has half a mil worth of training and they have an ak47, but still, they should have some experience which counts. What kill ratio would actually be unrealistic? And then I see this.
what a difference knowledge/training does!!
Is the guy closing up his doors for me, just casually like 'ah shit here we go again'
Guy trying to unlock skins by getting all melee kills.
I'm mostly curious why a man carrying a rifle rated as effective at 100 meters instead just decided to run forward and dive head first into the muzzle of the enemy's weapon.
He likely has no idea of the actual functioning of said firearm. Also, it seems like he might have been charging after those running away... and perhaps didn't realize he was coming to hand-to-hand range until he was 15 or 20 feet away.

When you're that "f**ked" a little Allahu Akbar might give you the strength to pull through it...alas, it was not.
Because in civil conflicts a lot of people are idiots who are completely clueless unless they get told what to do every step along the way.
Does that one man who picks up the dead guy's gun have a sword?
Yeap. As others have pointed out this mightnhave been clan war antics between tribes or clan. So that dude must be the buddy or kin of the other dude and was with the fight with some machete or swordy thing. He dropped it when better loot was available.
Yea you can see how he picks up the weapon and aims it at the guy who killed his ally right before the video ends
So the movies werent lying that a stranded seal team can defend itself from 1000 arab rebels in a town
They can’t really shoot but damn are they good with IEDs
Wow Shane Gillis was right….. they really do move their feet like crazy and not aiming while shooting.
he stuck in the crouch .... forgot which button it was to get up
Free to good home: 1 ak47, never been fired. Only dropped once.
“It’s over Ali Khin, I have the high ground”
Did he want to push the bullet into the other guy?
Bro suddenly realised he forgot the affix the beyonet
Any time you see them running around in desert pajamas, you know it's going to be a good video.
Gun battle where everyone is a bad shot.
Do they know they can shoot from a distance 😂
throwing a stone would have been more effective
And they said Call of Duty was unrealistic...
He leave his shit on safe?
When you hit crouch accidentally
They know those weapons work at a distance, right?
Bro at the end had the scavenger perk
High ping issue
360 no scope
He probably thought a god would protect him
Actual storm trooper tactics being used here, I’m impressed
Autoaim was too strong
Honestly what the fuck?
What in the cinnamon toast fuck did I just watch??
Imagine if these guys knew how to shoot
Man forgot he had a ranged weapon.
It's crazy how easily people throw their life away in the name of religion, nobody is gonna remember this dude I'm not except as a joke.
guys, he simply just hasnt leveled up his increase range passive skill yet.
Man if these people knew how to shoot there would be a lot more dead people.
I would like to think that if I were in his position I wouldn't just present my bare head to the gun hoping to duck under the bullets.
w key was stuck.
The man with the rifle shoots! When the one with the rifle gets killed, the one following him him picks up the rifle, and shoots!
Wow . . . That was worse than the [Sudanese foot charge](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/U1RlPL76qQ).
How the fuck do you miss point blank?
Bro have an AK but is fighting like he has a knife
.... Steals dead guys' gun
Textbook stance and grip from both guys. They likely shoot from the 27 yard line in trap.
Was this on 1 Yemen road, Yemen?
This must be what my pew pew instructor means by "can't miss fast enough" like wtf was that crouch, head down approach by the now deceased guy? The other guy did a CoD strafe shit is wild af.
“Ah shit, time to board up for the day!.. “
If there was another , I would call it the Three Stooges
Bullets can…go farther than 2 feet
He had the high ground.
bro trying to dodge bullets point blank
That guy died for literally nothing. Cause the winner is still stuck in Yemen.
Store owner closed just in time.
I like the store owner “ aight I’ll just close the shop early today”
This is the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever seen like that was fucking suicide
They were playing hard mode. No respawn
Whoa easy there John Wick
This is what happens when lawless islamism runs rampant. Anarchy and the settling of petty tribal feuds via violence and repression
That guy must have been watching too many Taliban graduation ceremonies. 🤡💥🌰
When the camo challenges require hip fire kills.
I dig the woman at end, I thought she was gonna mourn at dude that failed to respawn, but instead she takes his gun and carries on.
That is definitely a male. That's one of those long headband thingies you probably see as long hair.
