Do you know what you’re looking at there? I’ll let the guy holding the hat tell you<\/a>;<\/p>\n

I was on a 14 hour patrol and we decided to take just a quick break, get our bearing. Someone had the great idea of dismounting from the vehicles, so we were on foot. The unit I’m with doesn’t take things too serious when we don’t have to, so taking off helmets is acceptable, especially if it’s just to scratch your head or splash some water on your face. The sun was right on me, so I threw on my lucky RT hat. I normally pull my hat down all the way, but for some reason, this time I had a little bit of space between my head and the hat. That space saved my life.
\nI set my weapon down, right next to me and I had just sat down when what I thought was a gust of wind took my hat right off my head. Turns out, a 7.62mm round shot my hat off. So, with one hand, I’m reaching for my weapon. With the other hand, I’m reaching for my RT hat, which got shot again, this time blowing a hole straight through it. The second bullet also happened to graze my arm, still have the scar…
\nSo, my team is calm and collected and we did indeed waste the entire hill\/mini-mountain we assumed the sniper was hiding. No further shots were fired from either side and no one else was injured. Hell, I wasn’t even injured. Just a little scratch…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, that’s supposedly the hole created by two 7.62mm x 39mm bullets that this douchenozzle claims his hat received while sitting on his obviously empty brain-housing group. Them’s some pretty big bullets, ain’t they?<\/p>\n

One of the folks here who calls himself John, tracked the dude through his gaming IDs. Apparently, his name is PFC Andrew Santee and he’s a reservist in a Texas Psyops Company, says AKO and according to people who know him, he’s never deployed. If he had, he’d probably know that 7.62 bullets only make 7.62mm holes, like the holes John made in his own cap with an AK;<\/p>\n

John adds: Also, he claims he thought it was a gust of wind. Not sure what the mythological sniper was shooting, but every bullet that came close to me made a nice loud crack, and I damn sure didn’t mistake it for a gust of wind.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, that hole looks bigger than two 25mm holes. But, according to his Rooster Teeth profile, the story did what he’d hoped and scored him some chickies’ email addresses.<\/p>\n
