Yeah, no way a 120mm shell could physically cause that little damage.

Just before we all heard the reports of a blast of some sort at the Palestine Hotel, the BagCam picked up a very loud noise that sounded like a machine gun. Looking at the screen cap of the damage, could it have been some kind of technical w/ an AAA gun shooting up at the hotel? (i.e. setup?)

2 HEAT shell would topple that building - maybe 3 or 4 Sabot rounds would do the same. could be a bush master, or a .50 cal round (probably the later.)

I was thinking the same thing. Even ignoring the lack of damage, if it was HEAT there should be a lot more "black" from the blast, and a sabot wouldn't have left the slight damage on the outside, if it was a square hit.

I was thinking 25mm. Did we get any Bradley's across the bridge?
