The cameraman appears to be using an extremely short barrel and muzzle brake setup, firing at and into a Russian trench. At 0:17, a squadmate tosses the cameraman a grenade, which he then throws into the trench at 0:24. The cameraman motions his squad to him as he continues to suppress and navigate the trench, though his progress is hindered at the end of the video by concertina wire.
