I can't tell whether that 1st soldier (furthest right) was SMART and decided to duck before the others, or he just got hit with something first and that brought him lower.
I think the former but I can't figure out what that flash is on his helmet.

From how it looks

I'd say he was starting to duck right as it started coming, so he was just reacting quickly to the incoming debris. My assumption is that a shard grazed his helmet just enough to create sparks along contact.

That said, they probably all got hit with it bad enough (in the face)
