So let me refer to my "stop using antisemitic words" chart...

The ~~Little Girl~~ "Hamas Militant" was ~~Filming~~ "Threatening with a deadly weapon" Israeli soldiers from the safety of her own ~~Home~~ "Hamas Base".

The shot sounded very quiet it cannot be a rifle shot. Is it a traumatic weapon? I did not know that those are used.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

That sounded like 5.56, which sounds more like a pop than 7.62 (brat) or .303 (boong).

No, it was actually an airsoft gun, OK? Why would they shoot at her?

Someone peaking out a door at soldiers with a small black object? Well I dunno. Why would soldiers ever shoot in such a situation...

[–] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LOL, OK, let's say that a camera could be mistaken for a gun/rifle/nuke. Would the same apply to a phone? Because I cannot read something placed 10 meters away from me, and I still would distinguish a phone from a weapon.

You do not know what solder saw. But I am still insisting this can not be rifle shot. If anyone ever was near shooting rifle, they would know it is much louder.

"I know nothing about Thing In Video but I will choose to vehemently insist this can't be Thing It Obviously Is, also it's fine they shot at a civilian with no regard for rules of engagement anyway."

Microphones don't pick up impulse sound levels properly, and speakers certainly cannot reproduce them. You cannot accurately judge gunshot noise levels from recordings.

I have seen enough shooting videos to say that this is not true. The sound even using phone should be much louder. Not as lows as in real life, but loud and echo should be heard for quite some time.

You can tell from the audio pixels, and from hearing many 'shops in your time?

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Read the first sentence of the post you are replying to. Familiarize yourself with idea that YouTube has lots of videos with weapons shots.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You will not understand my criticism until you understand the term "clipping".

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know what lipping is, this is not it.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

You may know, but you do not comprehend.

Suppressors do exist. And are commonly used in close quarters combat. Especially by well funded combatants like the IDF.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

To back that up I've seen a few videos of IDF shooting with suppressors, on videos it can sound like a click, from the sound of this video though I'm not sure it's even suppressed.

[–] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

I shoot rifles all the time. This was absolutely a rifle.

Dude, if I ever saw someone slowly tearing you from limb to limb I wouldn't even move my toes. I may even start making justifications for them.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You are clearly here solely to defend the IDF, this is a wasted effort in this space. Why do you want to put so much effort into excusing a murderous apartheid state?
