Looks like that guy gets one through the chest and a quick follow-up head shot.
Great shooting by whomever. But...I think a couple of rounds to his RPG
launcher are in order to deactivate it from being picked up and used by someone
else.

The speed of the sucessive shots leads me to believe that this guy was not the
victim of a US Marine sniper, since most of them are using bolt action rifles
from my understanding. The shots just seem to come too quickly to have cycled
the bolt that fast (could be wrong though).

Further, the sniper may have been able to lure the dead guy's compatriots out
into the street had he held off firing the follow up kill shot to the head.
Just wound the guy on the first shot and wait for his buddies to come out and
"rescue" him.......and then drill them all too. Make a pile of them in the
street......however, the insurgent fighters may be "on" to that tactic already.
