I know that all of us here are pretty much into anything retro when there are AR15's involved so, just fun I thought I'd test your retro AR15 movie knowledge.
Take a look at the following screen shots and try to identify the movies that they came from. I picked screen shots that actually have pretty well known stars in them. I could have picked scenes that just show "extras" but, this is just for fun. Two of the movies should be pretty easy to identify to anybody into military movies. Two are a bit more difficult. The winner will receive.............................................. nothing but the admiration of his/her fellow AR15 Forum members. #1

I remember the retro M16s in movies threads a few months ago and thought of this one. Did this make it in the thread? Is this an A1? I just did a quick search and came up with a not so great quality picture.

Blues Brothers. I love the "M16" sound from the older movies. Blues Brothers, Taps, Platoon, they all have that "pwang pwang" M16 sound.

Here's one for y'all. You win one internet if you can guess the movie OR the actor. While not a "Vietnam" movie, there was a Vietnam tie-in. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f325/Bayani2K6/kris.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f325/Bayani2K6/k2.jpg looks like Kris Kristofferson's hair |

Last time I saw it was on TV back in the 80's. That first pic I posted wouldn't make a bad avatar if the resolution was a little better. |

Ok, this has gone on long enough. I hope everybody enjoyed this little test. the correct answers are
: 1) We Were Soldiers 2) Heartbreak Ridge 3) Tropic THunder 4) More American Grafitti I figured the first two would be the easy ones. #3 Tropic Thonder was just a stupid, fun movie. I have to admit that some of the helicopter shots were really good, as good as some of the serious movies I've seen. #4 More American Grafitti was the one that I thought would be the hardest ones, which proved to be true. I was amazed how fast it was identified though. I know a lot of people have never even heard of More American Grafitti. Doc |

I was a paid participant those were the days!!!! haven't found anyone worth shooting at since , aint that the shits the story line went something like this get up hump all day dig in set up perimeter chang e your socks catch a few Zs. set up Listing post,or ambush or surch or destroy, mark another day off you short timer calendar and start all over again keep your shit wired tight and stay away from any FNGs and a fresh 90 day wonder 2 LT they came to the Nam ate up with the dumb ass. |
