          Good thing it did malfunction at 10 sec in. It looks like someone moved into his line of fire.. Very lucky..

                      At 4:23 it looks like a fte. Right when he says "covering fire". That's a pretty bad time to have a problem.

                        Yeah, I remember being told a story about what not to do in similar to that situation, back when I was in. It was about a PL who was a few meters behind one of his privates in a combat situation. The private was ducking behind the engine block of a humvee, or something like that, and would pop up to take a few shots every now and again. The PL was shooting over the same barrier from a few feet back. He would just shoot whenever the pvt was ducked and then would pause when the private popped up and did his own shooting. Needless to say you can imagine all the wrong that could go on there. We were told the PL got his *** reamed by the PSG and now it serves as a learning tool of what not to do.

                            The cameraman had 2 malfunctions that I saw, the first of which was fortuitous given the movement of his fellow soldier. Those 2 malfunctions were some of the less worrisome issues in that video... lol.

                              He seemed like he was in way more of a hurry than the other guys. Maybe it's just that we are seeing it from his perspective.
