Don't Shoot & Text?

Interesting photo by C.J. Chivers showing a Syrian rebel texting at his machine gun.

These guys text a lot on the battlefield. It's probably not the safest, or most secure way, to communicate intel....but whatever works I guess.

Maybe he's just updating his Facebook with his kill count.

At least take your finger off the trigger.

agreed, needs better trigger control

There's clearly no trigger on that firearm, It can only be fired using the machine gun app on your smartphone.

I know it's there, they have it for everything. I just think it's funny seems like everyone can do it easy now, when I went through sniper school we had to do it the old way. If you were lucky you had a calculator if not a lot of scribbles in the back of the data book!!!

Heck, its just a modern communication device, like the radios of old. I know there were times overseas when we used cell phones cause either the radios were not in range, not working right, or in certain areas, the radio waves could set something off. Not saying texting is the best, but its communication. Shoot, Move, communicate
