Bullets of most any caliber and construction will easily penetrate a hydraulic line at that distance.

It was only 150 yards. It's not a great feat to hit targets at that range without magnified optics.

Thank you. He didn't give us any details about it, nor should he. I just got a message from him saying "hey, I'm alive" then saw the news Sunday morning. Needless to say me and his mom freaked out anyway, but I'm glad he let us know before we saw it on the news.

I heard somwhere yesterday that it hit the barracks, which makes sense given the number of injuries, but who knows.

Why do you say they were in Syria? My son is deployed at Tower 22 in Jordan and messaged me 12 hours before it hit the news.
