And I managed to get two of the three.

But the third one still had 10 rounds in his magazine.

He's expended 20 of his rounds.

And I was reaching for another magazine.

So as I'm reaching for the magazine, his bullets went about there.

The Shawn Ryan Show

It took off the middle finger.

It was just hanging by skin.

And then blew the different bullets, of course.

And then one blew the knuckle out of the forefinger.

And then a series of bullets took the ends of all the fingers off, and all the fingernails wound up in the back of my hand.

So it took a long time to get the magazine, and I'm changing the magazine, trying to put it in the magazine well of the M16.

And the finger keeps flopping into the well, and I can't get it changed fast enough.

And finally, you know, I swing it into the palm of my hand and slam the magazine in there.

#260 Dale Hanson - Why MACV-SOG Had an 85% Casualty Rate and 1-in-4000 Odds

And another guy arrives at the scene, and I'm there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#260 Dale Hanson - Why MACV-SOG Had an 85% Casualty Rate and 1-in-4000 Odds

We took out the third guy.

I'm thinking the next day we took out the agent.
