Quoted: IIRC, the sound effects, the muzzle flash as well as the "ejected" cases are all added via digital animation on the newer movies. I read somewhere that in the filming of We Were Soldiers, the majority of the M16's and AK's were of the dummy variety since all the "effects" were to be added by the computer. Kind of dampens the effect when watching... If you look closely, all the M-16s have the proper 3 prong flash suppressor that would have been used during that time. I have no idea if they were real, fake or computer generated, but at least someone took the time to get that one small detail correct. |

How about "Platoon". Too bad they used 16" carbines instead if XM77E2 Commandos (16" carbines were never used in Nam)!

The Seige of Firebase Gloria had some pretty intense M-16 fire fights in it. It was a pretty good movie too.

Actually, using a 9mm AR for a short-range, silenced sniper weapon makes much sense. What made little sense was having the entire upper broken down to components. No sniper would ever do that, but it "looks more dramatic" having the sniper assembling the rifle. -Troy |

HEAT and Black Hawk Down.
-off the topic Arnold in Commando has to be one of the funniest flicks! I love when he picks up the M-60 and is blasting it and there are only like 10 rounds left on the belt and in every following sceane a full 150 rd. belt magically appears when he's running and when he stops to fire from the hip he once againg burns the belt to about 6 rds and when he runs again the belt once again has 200 some rounds on it! And let's not forget those funny little grunts "A-UUGh" every time he gets hit with a frag![:)] |

Any idea what the maximum effective range of a 9mm AR is or where you can get a scope with a 9mm BDC? I guess personally I would opt to have an accurate rifle that, even thought it may not be silenced, would keep me out of range of any handgun the policeman would more than likely have, for coming home after a day at work! After all, if one shot if all he needs then whether or not the cop heard the shot he would know it happened. |

After all, if one shot if all he needs then whether or not the cop heard the shot he would know it happened. Whatever it's max effective distance would be, it would probably be many, many times that of the range of a handgun (expecially in a high stress situation like your son getting shot) and would be more than a match for the cop with his sidearm. It didn't look like he was that far from the cop's house anyway, so the 9mm probably would have worked just fine. But yeah, a sniper would have wanted to put more distance between himself and the atrget, regardless of how well armed the opposition was. Regardless, it was a movie and movies take "artistic" (and I use that word very loosely) license and very, very rarely reflect real life practices. |

I know its not a movie, But I taped about a weeks worth of cnn, to watch the 3rd squad,7th Calvary of the 3rd Infantry Division roll into Baghdad International. That was just awesome, Realtime combat thanks to CNN's Walter Rogers. You got to love those shots of M1A1's , Kiowas, and Bradleys. Just Amazing watching it unfold, to see live tank fire and then guys slinging lead and AT4s into the outposts just before they took the airport. Better than any movies as of lately.
Another few recent ones to see some AR's: BASIC with samuel l jackson and john travolta TEARS OF THE SUN with bruce willis |

Why not, if the shtf ima raid the local armory,,They got a couple nice hummers with the TOW missle jobs on em [:D]...Btw any one seen Omega man..?Its an OLD movie buncha mutants and only one fine sister running around he doesnt have a Ar (some kinda cheesy subgun) but it was kinda cool..........UNDERDOG dude, I'm so old, I saw that movie in the THEATER lol...Charleton Heston had the lead role. Can't remember the black girl's name, but she was fairly well known back then. The end was kinda cheesy, when they show him dead in that crucifiction pose....and those white eyes all the mutants had freaked me out! |

Quoted: There was a brief scene using AR's in the movie "My Science Project". Where the nerd knows how to use it from reading the "Janes Guide" on smallarms. Another flick with AR15/M16's: Switchblade Sisters....a cheesey '70s B movie. The girl gang in the title fights back against the dope dealing gang that's muscle'n in on their turf. Some early AR15/M16 action, & my favorite, one black momma gangbanger using a BAR from a armorplated ghetto-cruiser (think A-Team vehicle of the week). Carrie Fisher in Blues Brothers...nice rocket launcher & zippo action from her also. Postman, of course. I don't think all the Postman army used M-14's, I think most were Mausers/Mosin-Nagants/Springfields & Garands. Will have to rent it & watch closer. Underdog75, I think the burpgun used by Heston in OmegaMan was either a Swedish 'K' or Smith & Wesson M76 (same difference). |

3K To Graceland and Heat,Predator are a couple of my favorites , but I saw Tears on the sun or over the sun or near ...whatever it was - Willis looked like he had an SR-15 and it looked brand new I mean c'mon I dont know but would his weapon really look like 'cept in a studio ?? The number of missions that Willis' character would have had to been thru to get to the level he was I beleive would have left his weapon scarred a little bit the damn thing looked like it had a make-up girl !!!!

Saw "Basic" the other night.... what a JOKE.
1. A FEMALE Ranger? WTF?? 2. Wearing mixed black and red berets in the field? 3. Rangers wearing ponchos?? HAHAHA 4. The recruits in formation saying "Hooah, Sergeant!" but the sergeant (Samual Jackson) is wearing Spec-4 rank. 5. Ranger "basic training" is conducted at Ft. Benning, GA. Not Panama. It's called R.I.P - Ranger Indoctrination Program. 6. Panamanian prostitutes do not flirt with you from your hotel balcony. They hit you over the head with a bottle of Atlas beer, steal your wallet, then come back nine months later with a diapered "plane ticket" in their arms...then you are 'screwed'. Happened to several of my buddies in 5/87INF to one extent or another. 7. Running around at night, during a hurricane, without night vision, blasting pop-up targets from the hip? Sure, why not... 8. Rangers chew Copenhagen, not Skoal. 9. The worst reason I hated this movie? John Travolta showing his Ranger scroll tattoo. (I got the same one on my left arm.... almost puked.) Don't waste the four bucks on "Basic"... go get Blackhawk Down again. |

I can't believe there aren't more mentions of The Rock, it's got a lot of great shoot-outs featuring M16's.
Someone mentioned this earlier, but Willem Defoe's character uses what looks like an Olympic Arms OA-93 pistol during the final portion of "Clear and Present Danger". If you look closely, he doesn't even have any kind of optics on the receiver rail(the OA-93 doesn't have iron sights). Heh, I never would have noticed that if I wasn't a member of AR15.com. The AR15 addiction always gives me the urge to use the slow motion feature on my DVD player to check out cool guns in movies. |

To EINRICH tell me about it ,they even get into a fire fight with a seal team led by actor michael bien the same guy that did the movie navy seals with charlie sheen,alot of those guys are carrying carbines,ed harris is the commander of the marines it had alot of good actors and alot of hardware.And what about "pROOF OF LIFE"with russell crowe and that NYPD blue guy,anyway they all have M4a1s a 249 you just have to wait for the last half hour of the movie to see them assault the base where this guy is being kept..good action just fast forward to the end.

Quoted: Carrie Fisher in the "Blue Brothers"![ROFL2] You beat me to it - by only six months & change... [:D] IIRC, EVERYBODY in "Blues Brothers" except the Illinois Nazis ("I hate Illinois Nazis.") had ARs/M16s. After the "We've got a half-tank of gas, ..., and we're wearing sunglasses." speech when they tear off out of the tunnel, CF is on the ground firing one at them and representatives of every state and local authority in Illinois are shooting at them from the bridge above. Nobody actually hits our dark-clad heroes, of course... |

The little AR the serial killer had in "bloodwork" is an Olyarms k23 stubby, the very same model I own.
I tought that willem dafoe had also a K23 in clear and present danger, but close inspection revealed a folding stock, so it's a OA 93 AR pistol, ever from Olyarms. In first scene, when he and Harrison Ford contact the sniper, he has the OA 93 with a stock folded, while during the prison assault he have no stock. |
