I'd have to agree with most here..you'd be aweful unlucky if you got hit by one, problem is since there .30 caliber even a bad hit is usually fatal..with all that empty brass laying around in the streets of Bagdad you'd think all the people would be dead by now..not accurate but reliable for sure....and if you ever get a chance to be in the firing line they make a sound unlike any other..you won't forget that either..
