NSFW: Can Trashtalking Rattle A Real Soldier?

Morons yammering away in your headset can be off-putting to the average gamer toiling through a round of Call of Duty online, but how does it affect the combat capacity of an actual, trained soldier in the field?

Machinima specialist Rooster Teeth’s new series Immersion seeks to find out, having US Special Forces veteran “Shane” fire 20 rounds down a firing range with an M4 carbine. His first 10 shots are in sweet, blissful silence.

His second 10 shots are with the comedy crew from Mega 64 giving him shit through his headpiece. Will he buckle under questionable statements about his junk? Under offensively homophobic slurs? What about racial shit inside his brain right now?

    If the results are anything like a typical 12 yr old foul mouthed gamer, M64 can expect a follow through on what is normally a string of harmless threats in a little girls voice…
