Lox, they would have heard shots from the boats and seen them fired.
Do you accept that was a lie?

If people on the ship were being hit by live rounds it is very hard to believe that the narrator and those around him were oblivious. They were aware of "some kind of cannisters" hitting the ship but not bullets???

It is impossible to believe that the commandos would descend without weapons to hand if they had already fired on the ship.

You have seen the video evidence but close your mind to its story.
Two legs good, four legs bad.
No other evidence accepted.
