How far is that chopper out? I assume they don't hear or see the chopper.

They hear them. They know they are gonna get fucked if they don't hide deep enough.

I'm sure those choppers are the #1 cause for anal leakage in that region right now.

IIRC the M230 that the Apache has, has a range of 5500 meters so I would say at least 5500 meters out. The Hellfire missiles are 8000 meter range so they had no trouble finding their target lol.

Holy shit! I wonder if those dumb fuc!ers even know what is about to happen to them right before hell rains down on them. And as someone else asked I wonder if they even know where the copters are.

It's not a M230 grenade launcher. It's a 30MM gun. They usually shoot from half a mile or more away but can shoot up to a distance of about 1 1/2 miles. Most pilots can't hit shit at that range though. Hellfires are a different story and also cost the Army over $1,000,000 per Hellfire. So they must be approved to use them lol.

A good friend of mine was in the patrol they tried to ambush.

I love this video.

Correct me if I am wrong but the M230 is a 30mm cannon that uses a chain style ammunition feeding system unless I am thinking of something else. And most are fired within 2000 meters in order to accurately hit their target. I could be wrong though since it has been about 7 years since I have really read up on the Apache's. I always wanted to be an Apache pilot by my eye sight isn't near good enough to be a pilot.

Sorry my Dyslexia kicked in there. I read M203 lol.
2000 meters is over half a mile too

Per Mr. Google... 2000 meters = 1.24274 miles

Seems your only hope is to lie perfectly still far away from anybody else and hope the guy looking through the infrared thinks you're already dead.
