But my gun, my MP5 keeps jamming.

Hell, clear around, get another round in there, clear around, fire, jams again, clear around.

I mean, now over the years, I figured it was probably damaged because it was sitting on the magazine vertically.

And that vertical impact, it's not designed to take that kind of force.

So the magazine was probably bent.

and or even maybe the rounds themselves were damaged i'm not sure but either way i mean it was shooting but it was shooting one maybe two and then i'd have to clear a jam and i got rounds laying all over me and anyway i end up winchester in the thing and are you hitting

I think I was, I think I hit a couple of guys, but I mean, it's, it's hard to shoot sitting like that period.

And you know, that's not a long range weapon.

It's almost a pistol with a long barrel, you know, they didn't come back, which is the desired effect.

So, you know, to me, it was effective fire.

It did.

I was trying to hit him.

I just don't know if I did.

I mean, in my mind, less than five minutes.

Simply, we talked about the power control and that was it.

I think he was going to try to take cover somewhere behind a tree or something.

Nope.

Not yet.

I hadn't seen any Somalis yet.

And that's one thing the movie misrepresents.
