Quoted:
During the first fire fight of this movie, when they are just starting to move from their original position, Taylor Kitsch (Mike Murphy) stops and slams his rifle buttstock on the ground, then starts firing again. Anyone know why? I figured ice was clearing a malfunction but didn't know if I missed something before hand or if that's what he was actually doing? Love this movie. Thanks. i took it that he was clearing a malfunction.. |

But I was just asking from the movie standpoint if he was just clearing his weapon? As in 99% of situations the book is much better than film. But I do think they do an ok job for a Hollywood movie. |

Anybody else thing the movie wasnt that bad until the firefight? It was almost like they used too much time up and ended the movie with some hollyweird ending.
I thought the book was good. |

You don't have to slam the buttstock on the ground to clear that malfunction. Chalk it up to more bad info gathered by the propaganda machine that propelled that false narrative.

What specific malfunction? It is a surefire way to get a "stuck" case out. I just saw the clip, and honestly I at first thought it was Danny that did that in either anger for getting shot in the hand, or he was smashing the radio which possibly got shot with his hand. |

Muscle the bolt back until the bolt catch catches it then you just have to push the charging handle forward. No need to slam shit on the ground when a case gets stuck between the charging handle and the bolt.

This is what I have said to everyone every time this conversation comes up. I have lent this book to several people, and my wife read it too. Everyone has said what you expressed as a hollyweird ending. |

I got a much better sense of what happened during the firefight from the book, a very detailed sense. The movie was typical Hollywood mania. You could have put that firefight into any number of films and never known the difference. |

You could have put that firefight into any number of films and never known the difference. The book is just as fictional as the movie. There are a myriad of analyses that support that notion. And Hollywood had little to do with it, aside from actual film production. Which branch of the military has put out more mainstream class-specific movies in the last two and a half years? Act of Valor, Zero Dark Thirty, Captain Philips, Lone Survivor, and soon American Sniper (Chris Kyle). The Navy. |

The book is just as fictional as the movie. My point refers more to my ability to comprehend the story being portrayed, not the reality of one over the other. In that regard, I found the book superior to the movie. I am a bit biased, though. I am really sick and tired of all the bang-bang shoot 'em ups from Hollywood. My eyes glaze over and I've started to tune them out. |

I agree with your last sentiments. How many films have made it clear what happens when two sides shoot at each other? For me, it was worth watching Lone Survivor just for all the parts leading up to the initial firefight.
