A senior defence source told Bunkall that the video is "a terrible look". Bunkall reports that the soldiers were firing simulated paint rounds, not actual bullets. The footage was recorded in the loft of New Kabul Compound in Afghanistan, where soldiers do 'guardian angel' drills simulating the protection of VIPs. There are images of celebrities on the range, but they the VIPS to be protected, not to be shot at. The video began circulating on social media sites, and appears to have originated from Snapchat. Four soldiers are seen firing handguns at the target, which is then revealed to be a larget image of the Labour leader. A caption on the video reads "Happy with that".I’m told it happened in the last few days. Here is the MOD statement: pic.twitter.com/eOtYE6lZeX
