Makes me think it was the closest thing to him after his gun jammed. Imagine that feeling he felt when the gun jammed and 3 dudes were still in there.

Should have used a hipoint.

I have the utmost respect for any soldier, but tunnel rats take it to a whole new level.

Every person I've ever talked to who were SF, Rangers, Seals, etc. said that the British soldiers were hands down the best they worked with. Not even SAS but even down to their frontline grunts.



Yes it is true, they have a very selective process of who can join and the requirements are tough which creates a very professional group, as they are not playing world cop anymore they do not need a giant standing army and can afford to be choosy.

How does one swing a hammer in such an enclosed space. Did he kill 6 unarmed men? Or were they retarded.

Damn! That sounds like some WW1 shite! If you’ve never read about it, look up the tunnelers that fought under The Battle Of The Somme. I honestly don’t know how those guys get their giant balls to fit inside those tunnels

Eh Idk about Glock jamming... or the fact a SAS Officer can't unjam it when it very rarely happens. You can Christmas tree a Glock which I've done before but most jams can be simply fixed with a tap, rack, bang. Not saying the story isn't true. And confined space he may have just thought the claw hammer was more efficient. But to say the pistol was inoperable due to jam Idk about...

Don’t need to swing it, necessarily. You can use the claw portion to rip the throat of your victim. That said the average trajectory you need to swing and bash someone’s skull, chin or ear is about 2-3 feet. Probably gonna need repeated strikes, but that would explain the blood.
