The 3 rd bursts you hear are coming from the green Humvee. An infantryman fires from his seat inside the humvee. Also watch the hatch to the Humvee, as the vehicle commander observes the route for possible enemies. That parking garage to the left had some guys with AK's and a PKM or two firing down on the convoy. That "big bang" you hear where the guy says "That was a big one" is rumored to be an RPG that missed the convoy.
Enjoy
It's also rumored that these are blackwater personel. Coolest job ever.
