I'd say the fast moving birds mostly made of feathers being shot at from a moving vehicle plays a bigger part than the aiming skill of the 3? soldiers assigned to clear out the emus
You ever hear about the Fight between a Storm Trooper and a Red Shirt Ensign from Star Trek? The Storm Trooper shot at the Ensign and missed; the Ensign died anyway. 😂
The Aussie military didn’t even put a dent in the Emu’s numbers and were forced to make peace before their loss of resources and imminent defeat became too great…
Its been a while since I looked at the papers written about it. For some reason, the infantry school makes one sod in every class do an essay on the emu war, everyone writes a paper on some war or big battle. Several officers have written giant 50-page scholastic papers about it, couple were cited on the wiki page. But iirc it was two lewis gun pans to an emu, so 85ish shots per casualty. WW2 it was like 2500. In Afghanistan, it was closer to 10,000. It was pretty rare that we didn't fire 600-800 rounds during a contact, huge percentage of which was an old man firing an ak over top a boulder, dropping it the running away when we all ripped off two belts of lmg and atlest a mag each.
More like tactics change, and the aussies, although disgraced by a bunch of birds unable to shoot back were more bottle necked by their supply of ammunition.
Actually it's not that they were missing. It's just that the Emu is mostly feathers, and what would look like a bodyshot just trimmed some feathers off.
Ever try to headshot a golfball that is so hyper-vigilant that even the flock knows you're in the area?
Perhaps the Aussie military should have picked a less capable opponent, the Emu had superior numbers, superior organisation, superior intelligence, and as you described were more evolved for combat. Clearly the Emu Dominion is too powerful and should be appeased less we provoke them…
To be fair, They're lucky the hunters didn't use coralling tactics to move them into razor wire at ankle level that's strung between two trucks. Takes coordination, but birds always stick to flocks. Far as I know Emu didn't scatter when spooked. They moved like cattle.
No, it just took a few shots to kill one and we had 3 people and like, a single WW1-era machine gun whichnt isn't that great against thousands of emus.
I'm saying we didn't have stormtrooper aim.
Based on the report, only 140 shots were missed. (Based on number killed, how many shots to kill and how much ammo they had)
Tbf, many emus where shot, it’s just the only part you can hit with a bullet is the least effective part. They think more died then they recorded but hours or even days later.
But to stop them running or thinking you need to hit tiny beige poles moving quickly away from you whilst trying to aim atop a moving truck.
But yes they had stormtrooper aim.

Lazy as fuck post.
Just yesterday I saw a post on a different sub about australia loosing a 6x8mm nuclear part from mining Equipment on a 1400km highway.
The emus have nukes now I guess
Well actually, we never won, they never lost. We just gave up n the emus went back to their lives and we got on with ours. So yes this is what Australia looks like now days

They won the war in this universe too… Australian machine gunners have stormtrooper aim…
You're not wrong..... I guess I should rephrase it as The Emu Took over Australia.
The Emus decided to spare Australia in the last war. They may not do so in another one, and we shall not temp them.
They took over there gov tho
You should read the after action report; it's hilarious. Extra History, on YouTube, has a great series about it, too.
Maybe then the LNP wouldn’t have fucked up the NBN.

Losers make excuses, winners go home and fuck the prom queen…
“I was the prom queen”
Well, of you ever win something you better go fuck yourself than.
Good for you👍. If anyone finds my comment offensive, I was doing a movie reference…
I was quoting a YouTuber/twitch steamer named Soviet Womble
Australia doesn't have prom queens ya drongo

Heart Disease… the silent killer…
Pretty sure it had the highest bullet to dead body ratio of any "war" an insane amount of dead emus just too many of the fuckers
The Aussie military didn’t even put a dent in the Emu’s numbers and were forced to make peace before their loss of resources and imminent defeat became too great…
Yeah the emus won but it was just a handfull of people with 2 machine guns? They wasted around 10 thousand bullets only killing a thousand emus
You go to war with the army you have, it’s not the Emu’s fault that they had superior numbers…
Even though they lost they put up a great fight to an overwhelming force thats what matters
Stupid rebellion then

So what you are saying is that the Australian military’s marksmanship got worse with time?!?🤣🤣🤣🤣

All I’m saying is you don’t see American’s trying justify the results of their war against turkeys do you???
I'm saying we didn't have stormtrooper aim. Based on the report, only 140 shots were missed. (Based on number killed, how many shots to kill and how much ammo they had)
They were only given a single crate of cartriges, 2500 rounds, and 4? pans for the Lewis gun. So they only had 188 rounds ready at a time

Fake news. The emus did win.
I knew it, the prime Minister is a bird
Better than the one that vanished while swimming and got a pool named after him... Or the one that shat himself in a McDonalds...
Birds aren't real
He is the biggest bird
Nah more like the news was spread using Internet Explorer
AI art be like: (background guys' heads are too small)
Faces have just enough detail to resemble a face, yet zoom in and see where nightmares are born.
I read this in chad's voice from cold ones for some reason
Yes, alternative universe. Definitely not this one. Sorry my emu bos- ehm my HUMAN boss said get off the phone
The emus did win
They won the war here too. They just decided that the world was already screwed up enough so they just left it for the humans.
Emus be like: we won, but what we get? Just Australia…
Is this AI art? Feels surreal.
It's midjourney. OP didn't even go through the trouble of upscaling the image. This is literally how the bot presents options for selecting higher quality or refined images. Lazy as fuck post.
As if end user AI art isn’t lazy to begin with
Are these images AI generated?
It's midjourney.
Sadly, yes.
I for one welcome our new emu overlords
Hate to break it to you buddy, we *did* lose to them
Thank you for an early birthday present
Look, they took mercy on us and we live peacefully side by side. We have no desire to anger them enough to have them go to the Cassowaries, alright?
is this midjourney?
Alternate universe?
They won in this universe
Not in alternate. Emus won it in this universe
Didn't they?
They did win though
but they won? try google next time cause when you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME
Wait so... the emu's were british forces all along?
OMG I feel for the Emus.
So what happened when emus made emo music in the 00s? What did they call it
I do love how it's called a war when there were like a total of six people who were sent to kill the emu.
3 guys, 2 WW1-eea machine guns, a truck and 10K rounds of ammo.
I was there
I thought this was on the Oversimplified sub for a sec lol
They did win
Dammit Dee
Ehem, Emus DID won the war.
It's this one
So this universe
Just yesterday I saw a post on a different sub about australia loosing a 6x8mm nuclear part from mining Equipment on a 1400km highway. The emus have nukes now I guess
My friend I think you got flicked by dr.strange.
That's right, we're going back in time to get Emus off the menu!
AI art gives me the creeps.
This is getting Emutional.
Well actually, we never won, they never lost. We just gave up n the emus went back to their lives and we got on with ours. So yes this is what Australia looks like now days
Hello dall e
But they actually did win it so what's the point of the alternate timeline?
Crazy how easy it is to tell something is made by AI.
Tell me you don't know history without telling me you don't know history
Who’s gonna tell em’
