: ...There's also some footage of a WWII air combat : scene. You gotta understand my love of the P-51 : Mustang. With a Merlin 12 cylinder 1,590hp : engine, and six .50 Cal machine guns, no radar, : no muffler, it basically ripped the wings off : Stukas. But lets not let the P-47 Thunderbolt. : Sonofabitch had a Pratt&Whitney 18 cylinder : 2,300hp engine and eight .50 cal machine guns, : but it was a bit heavy. Any well made movie with : a hint of WWII air combat is up there with me. : ~P-51 Mustang, Cadillac of the sky~ : : : I saw a trailer about a sniper movie recently. : : : It was about Stalingrad I believe, the : : ledgendary duel that took place between a : Russian : : sniper : : : and his German counterpart.... : : : Ed Harris played the Nazi, I think.. : : : It's a true story, though I wonder how bad : : and/or "dramatic" it will be once Hollywood : get's : : done : : : with it... : : : I saw the movie poster in the lobby too, and : : the bolt is on the left side of the : reciever...... : : : Considering how many Russian left-handed, : bolt : : action, sniper's rifles were made during WWII, : : : I : : : take this to be a bad sign. : : : It costs them just as much to do something : : right as it does to do it wrong.... : : : (Sometimes MORE- Gladiator comes to : mind.....) : : : Yet they still usually blow it. : : t the sniper? It's called something : : : : : or : : : : : : other "Gate". Have you seen the red : : crosshair : : : : : : they show during the previews? I was : : : : thinking: : : : : : : Those fucking bastards, they better've : : not : : : : got : : : : : : that from me. But it looks like a : : rightous : : : : : movie. : : : : : : There's nothing like a good sniper : movie. : : I : : : : : think : : : : : : it's going to be good. : : : : : : : : Nope, haven't seen any previews. I've faced : : the : : : : fact that Hollywood probably isn't going to : : ever : : : : make a good sniper-oriented flick. As a : : student : : : : of sorts of military tactics and an amateur : : USMC : : : : historian(The USMC's Surveillance/ Target- : : : : Aquisition scout-snipers arguably the : world's : : : : best), I'm always disappointed with : Hollywood : : : : portrayals of snipers, with a few : exceptions. : : The : : : : sniping scenes in A Thin Red Line were : fairly : : : : accurately portrayed, among a couple : : : : other "better" war films(Full Metal Jacket, : : : : etc.). But that movie Sniper(I think that : was : : the : : : : title...with Tom Berringer) was a joke. The : : : : ghillie suit was a disaster, the rifle was : : all : : : : wrong, facts such as snipers always go out : as : : a 2- : : : : man team, etc. were ignored, etc. Flicks : like : : : : that are made for the uninformed civilian : : masses : : : : that'll buy anything. I'll keep my eyes : open : : for : : : : that preview, though. If you remember or : come : : : : across the full title of the movie, post it. : : : : USMC STA SS : : : : One shot- One kill : : : : The skill to kill : : : : Invisible souls leave .308 holes : : : : Don't bother running- you'll only die tired : : : : "...I used to go shooting with Gunny : : Hathcock. : : : : Don't mess with me- I'm a voodoobilly : man..." : : : : YDSM : : : V : : : : : : : : : : : ...YDSM, have you seen the previews for : : that : : : : : new : : : : : : movie abou
