On the second clip, assuming that’s an AH-64 Apache, it sure seems like the 30mm chain gun is a very inaccurate weapon.

I thought I heard in the radio communications they were at 2,700 meters, that's about a mile and a half away.

You're right though, the shots were scattered, but still...

Dead terrorists in the morning: Very good. But I like the ones with the missiles better than the machine guns.

The FLIR was rock steady the whole time, and the 30mm is supposed to be an anti-vehicle weapon, so even at 2,700 meters the shots shouldn’t be that scattered.

Granted, it’s not a sniper weapon, but still...

“2,700 meters”

Taking out individuals from moving/vibrating platform with a machine gun from 1.5 miles away sounds like excellent aim to me.
