    Shooting down an excavator - GIF

    Shooting down an excavator. Not exactly sure what we have here. Posted as being from a Chinese forced residential demolition. Possibly a disgruntled homeowner shooting an excavator with a Roman candle, which rattled the operator enough to make him topple the excavator?

    We used to shoot roman candles at each other. For fun. What does this idiot equipment operator think they're going to do to a f'n excavator?

    Makes me wonder did the excavation go into a ditch hidden by the shrubs? It is kind of funny at that.

    My father was once bow hunting near a military facility. While walking down a fire road he heard a tank coming. When the tank came around a corner they found my father in the middle of the road aiming at them. Of course they had the hatches open and were standing up for fresh air.

    They surrendered.

    May be the only time a tank was captured by a bow.

    They all had a good laugh later with pleas not to tell the commanding officer.

    He also pointed out he didn't have an arrow in the bow.

    Was hopeful to see excavator operator go on the offensive; tactically dip the bucket, ricocheting the fireballs back into the bunker.
    A bit of early Sunday entertainment.

    Once the anti-2nd Amendment crowd gets hold of this tape, it'll be evidence of magazine capacity restrictions, I counted 22-23 muzzle blasts, not each projectile ignited.
    Can we chalk up those failure to fire to where firework was made?

    I suppose if one of the fireballs hit a hydraulic line or the fuel tank it would have not been good. The guy in the excavator being veryt surprised might not have realized it was roman candles being fired at him and not rifle bullets either.
