TRY TO RUN INO THE SMOKE OF THE GUY WHO JUST GOT SHOT AS THEY CANT SEEM TO SEE THROUGH IT WELL. LAY NEXT TO DEAD GUYS AN DONT MOVE. ALSO THOISE TENTS SEEM TO COVER THE HEAT SIGNITURE IF THERE WAS ANY ONE IN THERE YOU COULD NOT TELL

They're shooting and the impacts happen 3-4 seconds after you hear the shots. Assuming the audio is properly synced with the vid, they were standing way way off, the guys on the ground probably had no idea what was happening. Besides, I would think with the way the shells were exploding their first thought would be mortars or artillery, in which case the only response is take cover or get the hell out of Dodge ASAP!

Whoever aligned those sights needs glasses, POI was off to the right a bit!
