Fun fact about project Marauder. It's a acronym. Some darpa nerd had to sit down and intentionally call that weapon something that would spell out the full word Marauder. Someone got paid to do that. Money well spent.
Enough Dakka is more than you've got and less than too much, and there ain't no such thing as too much Dakka. Enough Dakka isn't a state of being but rather a state of striving.
Of course, it's a walking tank. The dream of every tanker since Battletech was first published in the 1980s. And just like tanks of WW1 Mechs have started out small just a few tons weight. Just wait till the massive Bolo's arrive on the battlefield!

So we're basically guardsmen from 40k. "Does it have guns?" "Yes." "Good, add more. And then some more, just to be safe." "Alright. I'll put in a back-up, too."
*Simpleton* Nah! Guardsmen in 40k got "flashlights"and maybe a knife. This dude is Astartes level, only more so. More like Mech Warrior, than anything out of 40k.
@@peterwall8191 stupid as it is, this guys got something closer to a tau battlesuit rather than anything a human might have. Terminator armour may come close, but if he had that, he'd have had to punch something by now.
What kind of paratrooper unit doesn't have their chutes on before boarding the craft. That is just asking to for it and Murphy answered with the Law. This was my only complaint and it's because I was Airborne so it's mostly just nitpicking. Good story and narration.
Maybe they intended to land the drop ship. There wasn't supposed to be enemy hostiles in the air. The parachutes (or descent thrusters for the mech suit) may have been for emergencies rather than an intended means of ingress, so they weren't wearing them. Question: In a real-world situation, if soldiers are intending on landing the plane/drop vessel to disembark on the ground, would it be a disadvantage to have the parachutes already donned as a precaution? Would the time spent to take them off upon safe landing cause problems? If not, then I personally think it would be a good idea to have them on, especially if there's a chance the drop craft could be shot down or blown open.
@@ckl9390Like I said I was nitpicking but you bring up valid points. In real world deployments the planes dropping troops can land "safely" in controlled landing zones. If you need troops behind enemy lines then you use paratroopers. If the area is to hot for either then that means bombing runs. Honestly we don't really do alot of Airborne jumps these days mostly due to no formal military engagements. Thanks for the engaging comment.
@@ckl9390 a big reason they dont use parachutes when they plan on landing is just flying the plane. Every pound of parachute is one less pound of fuel, soldier, or gear that they can carry. Also parachutes cost mony. So they arent going to give people parachutes unless they plan on using them. Its kinda the same reason people dont have parachutes on comercial flights.
@@ScipioMexicanus Parachutes are cheap compared to 18 year old civilians, nevermind soldiers whom have recieved training costing more than $1,000,000 each. It costs approximately $400,000 to raise a newborn to the age of 18, not including things like PlayStations bought for them. You wouldn't wear parachutes during peacetime as the risk of needing a parachute is normally very low, but in wartime while flying in hostile airspace (even if that's over your own country) you may be provided a parachute - even if it's not doctrine to do so. Soldiers really don't like burying their brethren. Don't be surprised if your loadmaster lists you as being chubbier, coincidentally by the weight of one parachute 😉 If subversion of bureaucracy is corruption, most militaries are more corrupt than you'd expect. Look at cases where ships fired off more torpedoes than they were equipped with and still had reserves because a resourceful QM squirrelled away some extras. If you can find a way to end up with spare _torpedoes_ I'd be amazed if the LM couldn't find a way to cover his own ass and still give everyone a parachute.
Just gunna point out that the man with the real balls is the captain that jumped out and managed to put a parachute on that corporal’s back while falling. That takes balls and skills
When the mech were being described all I could think of was the Goliath Suits from C.O.D. EDIT: now that I have watched the whole thing that mech suit is most definitely a futuristic version of the Goliath Suits from C.O.D.
In ww1 the riech wanted us the U.S. to stop using shotguns in the trenches, they called it a war crime regardless of weaponizing mustard gas and other crap. Long story short alot of us still own and use shotguns...

i hope there is a 2nd part to this story :D
Boom daka daka daka
No such thing as to much!
No kill like overkill
There is no such thing as overkill, there is only ‘Open Fire’ and ‘Reloading’!
20yrs of war service, I assure you, you can under kill but it's impossible to overkill, don't mean ya can't enjoy the show.
If it's worth Killing, It's worth overkilling.
Humans go brrr
AWESOME!.... Part2?
( gotta know "if"(when/how) they win the war )
When in doubt, dakka
“BOOM” goes the dynamite!
Reminds me of the MK1 prototype yggdrasil from the Halo anime
That may be the coolest thing said in the comment section.
