A Holy Cow Moment
AShooting Journal ^ | 1/15/2016 | J Hines

Our military and allies are highly trained lean green fighting machine. They train for thousands of hours on prepping, locating concealment areas, avenues of approach, to deploying and launching their weapons. But, once in a while a team may experience that holy sh!t moment, like this French Canadian team.

This French Canadian team is sporting a Javelin Anti-Tank gun. The team was in process to get their shot off, but a holy sh!t moment came up. A dud ensued when the rocket/missile was launched and landed several feet in front of them. See the anti-tank team reaction here.

Vraiment, Monsieur, an adrenal-pumping moment.

There are several of these failures on YouTube. In Afghanistan, I guess.

I saw one where it exploded about 80 feet out of the tube.

Quality Control!

Why does one have the feeling that it’s not supposed to do that...?
