No Freakin' Way! There is currently quite a bit of breathless commentary about a video purporting to show a Syrian tank firing a round that comes right at the videographer. I think it is fair to say that the tank did fire and a round was launched, but the round shown in the video is almost certainly a fake. Since this wasn't an episode of Mythbusters, I sincerely doubt the camera in use was of the way high speed variety necessary to capture a tank projectile traveling at the speed of BAKOW! Nice special effects work, but not the real deal. That said, I am sure it sucked massively to be on the near receiving end.
