So I'm doing this rehabilitation thing....

"Watching too much TV".....

And tonight I caught Grant Mitchell doing the SAS thing.....In the

rip snorting Ultimate Force extravaganza....

good guys/bad guys/lots of pyrotecnics and very slow parachutists

So my question is....

what were the scopes that they had fitted to their M4's...?

Are they real or just what was hanging around in the props department?

Missed it and forgot to tape it......

Anyone know if it's reshown on one of the other ITV 2/3/4 ?

I call it Ultimate Farce !

The slow parachuting was hilarious though

I didn't recognise the scopes on the carbines either.

The sniper dual was really comical

Amazing isn't it, wherever they go on a "mission", it always looks like Pinewood studios.....

The episode set in Africa was amusing - the panned the camera across what looked like a Yorkshire valley and dubbed on the sound of elephants.

M4's are not anywhere near the correct configuration, some of you HRA types have seen what they look like on one of the 'special trips'.

Airsoft scopes of course, and the PRR have a fantasitc range and must be very secure since the way they use them.........

Product placement galore for AI, the bad dude had a 5.56mm straight pull CAM as a sniper rifle, no wonder he lost!

I could go on, but after all it's TV ENTERTAINMENT, and as mentioned above...

I know the series is just supposed to be entertainment and not factual
I just had never seen those scopes used before....

Always good entertainment.

I particularly like the AW that went semi auto for a while before it reverted to bolt action.

Here's a few stills of the various scopes...... Dunno WTF they are?

Product placement as per ACR....

Looks twisted to me....

Answers on a postcard....

View down the AI scope...

All seemed to have the same scopes fitted.....

And as for it being my favourite program, that honour is reserved for Come Dancing 2006...

Not SAS, but definately the 'real deal'… and who those clowns in Ultimate Farce should be kitted out like…

The red dots are Aimpoint Mk 3's, launched 1983. Nice to see that the TV armourers are on the cutting edge of technology.

First scope's an Accuracy Intl Schmidt & Bender.
Second one's a Leupold w/M1 turrets.

This is the one I meant....They all seemed to have them in the episode just shown.
