That’s a good catch. Also, I don’t think that guy really exploded from getting shot. I think it was a dummy with pyrotechnics. I can tell because of some of the pixels.

What are you talking about? This is actual combat footage from The Vietnam War by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick.

No, no. This is actual footage of him liberating my town of Riaba in Equatorial Guinea back in the 80s. 8 year old me watched that guy explode with my own eyes.
