| What type of rifle is the sniper using, when he is hunting the Co-pilot/Navigator? I thought it was a SV-98? but I think I'm wrong. |
 Accuracy Internation AW (Artic Warfare)/ L96 Caliber: L96, AW, AW Police, AW Folding: 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 win); Super Magnum: .338 Lapua (8.60x70mm), .300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag Operation: Bolt Action Length: 1270mm Barrel lenght: 686mm (.338 Lapua), 660mm (.300 and 7mm) Weight: 6.8kg empty without telescope Magazine Capacity: 5 round box magazine Maximum Effective Range: ca. 800 meters for 7.62mm NATO variants, 1100+ meters for Magnum variants Edited to try an' fix this frickin' picture. |
Given the high quality of recent WWII stories put on film (Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers)....Windtalkers sucked in everyway imaginable.... |
| I have an idea! Let's make a movie! Hire a bunch of historical and cultural experts, get technical experts to train the actors, then totally not listen to them and have an 8 year old write and direct the darn thing! Lots of CG and explosions will make up for lack of story and shallow characters. |

Personally I would have used the bipod and set the sniper rifle down on the rock right in front of me and popped the good guy off the dam and made it home for lunch. I guess shooting off hand and missing made for a better movie, though... Edited to add-thinking about that movie,I take that back, it would have been better that way. |
ROFL!!! Band of Brothers is really good, though. Explosion aren't all flame, but more dust and dirt like they're suppossed to be. And Windtalkers... let's never mention it again. |
I fell outta the chair laughing at that one. "Wow! Look at the trajectory on those things!"
Happy B-Day!

You must remove the "http://" and there cannot be any spaces between the URL and the tags. And the URL must be pointing to a picture (GIF or JPEG), not an HTML file. Good: {img}www.server.com/picture.jpg{/img} Bad: {url}www.server.com/picture.jpg{/url} (This makes a link, but does not display the image) {img}"http://" www.server.com/picture.jpg{/img} (http://) {img} www.server.com/picture.jpg {/img} (Spaces) {img}www.server.com/picture.html{/img} (HTML instead of JPG or GIF) And, yes, obviously replace the {} with []. -Troy |
Amen. One of the bigger movie disappointments of the year. |

It started sucking right from the start. I walked out when they were eating in that chow hall on the ship. Damn, I was on one of the newest Carriers that Uncle Sam has and I walked all over that boat looking for that chow hall. Never did find it, and darn the bad luck, I missed the rest of that movie. |
